Corrosion Inhibition of Low-Carbon Steel by Hydrophobic Organosilicon Dispersions

Abstract

This article proposes a method for obtaining stable hydrophobic inhibitor dispersions, where the micelle core contains a hydrophobic solvent, a corrosion inhibitor and an organosilane. Such compositions can be used as polymer-type corrosion inhibitors for low-carbon steel. Using electrochemical methods, corrosion tests and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, features of the formation of polymeric layers of hydrophobic organosilicon dispersions were studied.
