The technology highlights the potential of oleochemical derivatives Palm 16B MetPro as corrosion inhibitor. We convert palm fatty acid into new fatty nitrogen compound. In general, corrosion inhibitor is used to control or reduce corrosion rate of metals. Corrosion inhibitors are widely used in industrial processes such as acid pickling, cooling system, acid descaling and acidising process for oil and gas wells. In addition, it is also incorporated in coolants, paints, fuels, hydraulic fluids, engine oils and various fluids for vehicles and machines.
