Corrosion inhibitors are additives that prevent chemical attack on a metal surface. This group of additives repels water and neutralizes the acidic reaction by-products of corrision formed at the lubricant surface. These products are typically used on a variety of metals. Replacing or repairing components of fuel storage and distribution systems is expensive, but proper maintenance can reduce much of that cost. As an important solution, Afton offers corrosion inhibitors to protect fuel pipelines, storage tanks, and pumping equipment.
These products are “surface active,” so they bond with metal surfaces to provide a protective barrier and help equipment last longer.

Reducing fuel system damage
The internal corrosion of fuel storage and distribution systems can cause a variety of problems in both ground and aviation fuel applications.
These issues include:
Storage vessel and pipeline leakage
Contamination of fuel with particulates
Blockage of filters and screens from corrosion material
The requirement for expensive maintenance
Approved corrosion inhibitor additives are designed to protect against these problems. Innospec produces class-leading corrosion inhibitors for use in storage, pipeline and aviation applications. The inhibitors are surface-active ‘polar’ molecules, which attach themselves to metal surfaces. Once attached, the molecule’s oil-soluble tail forms a water repellent layer over the metal.
