Tolyltriazole CAS# 29385-43-1

Tolyltriazole is an effective water-stabilizing agent that helps prevent corrosion by adhering to metal surfaces and machinery components. By forming a strong bond with these surfaces, it prevents water from compromising the integrity of the metal's molecular structure. The chemical forms a durable electrochemical barrier, which is thick enough to resist the damaging effects of corrosive substances. This barrier is not only highly resilient but also boasts excellent oxidative and thermal stability. Over time, tolyltriazole’s protective layer remains intact without contaminating process fluids or the metal surfaces of piping systems. 

Similar to benzotriazole, another well-known corrosion inhibitor, tolyltriazole has an additional methyl group that allows it to dissolve in specific organic solvents. This characteristic makes it especially effective in preventing galvanic corrosion in pure copper and copper alloys when they come into contact with other metals. In addition to copper, tolyltriazole also offers protection to metals like cobalt, silver, and zinc. Furthermore, when combined with other corrosion inhibitors, it can even safeguard aluminum and steel from corrosion, further extending its range of applications in various industries.
