Talk:Corrosion inhibitor

[Untitled]
Some information on Rust Preventative Paper, which is often used to wrap handmade tools & bearings during shipping (& is now readily available from places like ebay & Amazon) would be of interest & relevance, if anybody can provide some insight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.94.122 (talk) 17:47, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Water system corrosion treatment
What is the agent that is supposed to be used in water distribution systems for corrosion inhibition? Specifically, what did Flint MI not put in the water? Gah4 (talk) 09:03, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Slight clarification in the overview of corrosion inhibitor
In the overview it gives the definition of a corrosion inhibitor, in part by:

"The effectiveness of a corrosion inhibitor depends on fluid composition, quantity of water, and flow regime."

Shouldn't this sentence state "quantity of the fluid" instead, since it goes on to illustrate various liquids or gases in which additives are applied, such as fuels, paints, etc.? Conversely, it rarely mentions water treatment techniques employing corrosion inhibitors nor a recent well known U.S. health care disaster resulting from them not being used. (as alluded to above by Gah4)

"Illustrative Applications" - Drain Cleaner
Drain-cleaning products often include some sort of corrosion inhibitor because the primary compound may pose a threat to some types of metal. Readers might appreciate the addition of such an application in this section, as the question of inhibiting corrosion without inhibiting the primary function of the active ingredient is very compelling. That question is how I arrived at this article in the first place. Tom Something (talk) 05:12, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry makes no mention of corrosion inhibitors in drain cleaners. Formulation: sodium salts of hydroxide (mainly), nitrate,chloride, aluminium powder. --Smokefoot (talk) 14:31, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
