Tomamine Inhibitor 60Q surfactant is a versatile and effective Appearance 20°C Clear amber liquid
corrosion inhibitor for use in acid cleaning applications. This Total amine value 90-105
product does not darken in most strong acid solutions, allowing Viscosity (cPs @ 20°C) 120
the formulation of stable, lighter colored acid based products. Melting range, °C -17.8
Boiling point, °C 88.2
APPLICATIONS Flash point, °C 25.5
Specific gravity @ 20°C 1.02
Pickling
Gardner color, max 15
For batch pickling in 10% HCl, use 1.5 lb. Tomamine Inhibitor
60Q surfactant/100 gallons acid to achieve 99+% inhibition.
If faster speed and less protection is desired, reduce level. Use
1 lb. Tomamine Inhibitor 60Q surfactant/100 gallons 10% PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES
H2SO4 for 98+% protection. TABLE 2: INHIBITION OF MILD STEEL
All Solutions are clear.
After pickling, rinse and follow with an alkaline wash.
