Description

4-(Trifluoromethoxy)benzyl alcohol is a corrosion inhibitor that inhibits the corrosion of metals. It is able to inhibit uptake of anions, such as chloride ions and nitrate ions, by passive adsorption and by forming an outer layer on the metal surface. 4-(Trifluoromethoxy)benzyl alcohol also acts as a co-solvent for anions in high concentrations, which can be used to remove them from solution. This compound has been shown to reduce the corrosion of ferric iron and copper at high concentrations. 4-(Trifluoromethoxy)benzyl alcohol may also act as a scavenger for hydroxyl radicals, which are known to cause corrosion reactions.
