Plastics for Corrosion Inhibition

2.1: Classification

2.1 Classification

Inhibited films can be classified by the following criteria: (1) origin of the chief component (polymer base), (2) film structure, (3) CI type, its aggregate state and distribution pattern in the film; (4) designation of the film material (Fig. 2.1).


Figure 2.1: Classification of inhibited films

There are more than a dozen types of preservative films [3] discriminated by the polymer base that governs the physical-mechanical characteristics of the films (Table 2.1) [1], [9], [10], [11].
