The Use of a Corrosion Inhibitor as a Car Washing Additive,

摘要

The possible reduction of motor vehicle corrosion by regular washing,both with and without the addition of a corrosion inhibitor has been examined by two types of test. In laboratory tests,panels of painted and bare steel were exposed to intermittent salt spray at temperatures of 5C and 25C. Results showed a very significant reduction in corrosion rates by regular separate application of the two components of the TRRL inhibitor by low pressure spray. Straight washing without the use of inhibitor is much less effective. (Modified author abstract)
