Copper Corrosion Inhibitors

Tolyltriazole (TTA) – High-Performance Corrosion Inhibitor

Tolyltriazole (TTA) is a highly effective metal corrosion inhibitor primarily used for the protection of copper, silver, zinc, lead, nickel, and their alloys. It is a mixture of 4-methyl-benzotriazole and 5-methyl-benzotriazole, supplied as a white granular solid or powder with excellent chemical stability.

Tolyltriazole forms a strong protective film on metal surfaces, significantly reducing corrosion in closed-loop cooling water systems, lubricants, antirust oils, and automotive antifreeze formulations. It is especially effective when used in combination with biocides or algaecides in circulating water systems.

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications of Tolyltriazole (TTA)

• Corrosion inhibitor for copper and copper alloys
• Industrial cooling water treatment
• Lubricant and antirust oil formulations
• Automotive antifreeze
• Gas-phase corrosion inhibitor
• Closed-cycle cooling water systems

Recommended Dosage & Application

The recommended dosage of Tolyltriazole (TTA) typically ranges from several hundred ppm to several thousand ppm, depending on metal type, system design, and operating conditions.

Application Methods:

1. Immersion Method – Metal parts immersed in TTA solution
2. Spray Method – Even spraying on metal surfaces
3. Circulating System Addition – Direct dosing into cooling water systems

Metal surfaces should be clean and free from oil or rust prior to application to ensure optimal corrosion protection.

Packaging and Storage
