Metal Passivation using Rodine 85 for Sulfuric Acid Pickling - ChemEqual

Derusting and descaling operations on industrial metal components require the use of strong mineral acids like sulfuric acid to maintain surface quality. It employs the use of acid baths for oxidative removal of alkali scales and mineral oxide deposits. But mineral acids have a tendency to corrode metal surfaces as well rendering them distorted by formation of pits and loss of base metal.

To retard the corrosive nature of acids, the pickling liquor used in acid vats is primarily composed of a pickling acid such as sulfuric acid mixed with an acid corrosion inhibitor. These inhibitors do not reduce the efficiency of the liquor but tend to passivates the base metal surface preventing pitting and corrosion. These passivating chemicals greatly reduce maintenance costs and extend equipment life while optimizing acid utilization and quick operations.

Rodine 85 is a low foaming soluble liquid corrosion inhibitor specifically designed for acid baths that use sulfuric acid as the pickling reagent. It is a synergistic organic blend of 1,3-Diethyl Thiourea, Formaldehyde, substituted Triazine & O-Toluidine, Propargyl Alcohol and detergent that is effective on a wide range of metal surfaces and can be ideally dozed over a wide range of acid concentrations. . Rodine 85 serves as an effective inhibitor for phosphoric and acetic acids, as well as sulfamic, citric, oxalic, and sodium bisulfate solutions in pickling and industrial cleaning operations.

It is recommended that dosage of Rodine 85 to be used for pickling should always be in percent by volume of the concentrated acid, regardless of the degree of acid dilution used. Ideal concentration ranges from 0.05 to 0.30 percent by volume of the diluted acid. In addition, it is also recommended that Rodine 85 inhibitor be used at a concentration not less that 0.5% by volume of the concentrated liquid acid or not less that 0.5% by weight of the concentrated solid acid, regardless of the temperature of the industrial cleaning operation.

During February, large gains (1.0 percent and over) occurred in antioxidants, food additives, mining chemicals, oilfield chemicals, paint additives, and rubber processing chemicals.

The overall specialty chemicals volume index was up 1.3 percent on a year-over-year (Y/Y) 3MMA basis. The index stood at 107.2% of its average 2012 levels. This is equivalent to 7.39 billion pounds (3.35 million metric tons). The down-turn in the oil and gas sector had affected headline volumes and weakness spread to other segments. Year-earlier comparisons were negative from second quarter 2015 through second quarter 2016 but are now improving as the recovery in the oil and gas sector has engaged and is now aiding head-line volumes. On a Y/Y basis, there were gains among 15 market and functional specialty chemical segments. 

Specialty chemicals are materials manufactured on the basis of the unique performance or function and provide a wide variety of effects on which many other sectors and end-use products rely. They can be individual molecules or mixtures of molecules, known as formulations. The physical and chemical characteristics of the single molecule or mixtures along with the composition of the mixtures influence the performance end product. Individual market sectors that rely on such 
products include automobile, aerospace, agriculture, cosmetics and food, among others.

Specialty chemicals differ from commodity chemicals. They may only have one or two uses, while commodities may have multiple or different applications for each chemical. Commodity chemicals make up most of the production volume in the global marketplace, while specialty chemicals make up most of the diversity in commerce at any given time, and are relatively high value with greater market growth rates.

WHAT MAKES RODINE 213 THE BEST ACID INHIBITOR FOR OVER TWO DECADES

Rodine 213 has remained the most popular choice till date for Hydrochloric Acid pickling and plant cleaning.

Hydrochloric acid replaced Sulfuric acid as the pickling liquor since it pickles substantially faster with minimal base metal loss. The highly reactive chloride ion in the acid is the reason for high efficacy in the cleaning procedure. It is utilized for cleaning metals with alloy content of 6% or less. An acid inhibitor must be added to the pickling solution to keep the metal surface from dissolving or getting pitted. Such pickling acid inhibited liquor is called "Inhibited HCL" and is a mix of Hydrochloric acid solution in water (3% to 10%) and an acid corrosion inhibitor which in itself is a mix of natural and synthetic chemicals that adsorb on the metal surface during pickling.

Rodine 213 is a superior synthetic blend of keto-amine complex substitutes with non-ionic surfactants, alcohols and solvents particularly intended to restrain hydrochloric acid corrosion on metal surfaces during modern operations like surface cleaning and pickling. It is effective over an extensive variety of metal surfaces like Iron and Steel, copper and metal. Rodine 213 is a high foaming anti-corrosion additive with a high viability at dispersing oil and grease and is perfect for HCL based pickling liquor systems particularly before plating.

It guarantees metal surface protection during procedures including lime scale removal from kettle and pipework and from evaporating plants, removal of oxide residue from iron, steel, metal and copper. Rodine 213 is free from chlorinated hydrocarbons and heavy metals like arsenic and lead. It can be synergized with Hydrochloric acid pickling in stipulated dozes both by circulation method and by drench and flush operations. Rodine 213's exceptional quality and thermal stability makes it a perfect acid corrosion inhibitor for improvement of the pickling procedure by pre-warming the liquor bath with the inhibited acid system.
