Present situation of a volatile corrosion inhibiting material

In general, a volatile corrosion inhibitor is the liquid or the solid reagent as the compound or the several mixture which is vaporized (sublimated) slowly at the normal temperature. The resulting vaporized gas has the corrosion inhibiting reaction by the chemical or physical adsorption on metal surface. In Japan, the material with this volatile corrosion inhibitor which is coated on the material, or impregnated into, or extruded into paper or film, is referred to as the 'volatile corrosion inhibiting paper' or the 'volatile corrosion inhibiting film' respectively, and in which this one is dissolved referred to as the 'volatile corrosion inhibiting oil'. We give a general name to above inhibitors referred to as the 'volatile corrosion inhibiting material'. This report comments on the summary of kind, standard, nature, property, use and application method and the future trend of these materials.
