CCW16 is widely used as a corrosion inhibitor in industrial water treatment systems. It effectively protects metal surfaces, particularly copper and its alloys, from oxidation and pitting in cooling water circuits. Due to its film-forming properties, CCW16 creates a protective layer that prevents aggressive ions like chloride and oxygen from attacking metal substrates. It is especially valued in closed-loop systems where long-term stability and low dosage requirements are critical. The compound is compatible with various water chemistries and is often part of multi-component treatment programs to enhance overall system performance. Its low environmental impact and biodegradability make it suitable for use in facilities aiming to reduce hazardous chemical discharge.
