Studies on Indian bentonite as the carrying medium in corrosion inhibitive compositions for ferrus metals

Abstract

A new type of preservative based on chemical inhibitive incorporated in a suspension of bentonite in water was developed by Sanyal &Preston which proved as efficacious as petroleum base compositions for protection of steel against corrosion during storage and promised to be useful in some fields where use of petroleum base compositions was not feasible. In the present investigation, the performance o f Indian bentonite as the carrying medium for a wide range of chemical inhibitors and their mixtures, ha8 been studied.
