Corrosion Control & Prevention
A corrosion control program incorporates a corrosion inhibitor in a
formula to reduce the corrosion rate. The package then does not
perforate and lose product and/or propellant before the product
is exhausted, nor does corrosion reduce product efficacy during
the package service life.
A corrosion prevention program incorporates a corrosion inhibitor
that prevents package corrosion during its service life. A company’s
internal corrosion database is also part of a comprehensive corrosion
control and prevention program. An extensive database helps guide
formulators while developing new and derivative formulas, thus
minimizing surprise spray package corrosion and corrosion failures.
