Notes:
The efficacy of octylamine as a vapour phase corrosion inhibitor in different corrosive environments for carbon steel, copper and brass, and its biocidal action, have been examined. The protection of these metals from atmospheric corrosion using VPI (octylamine)-impregnated paper was monitored by visual observation, weight loss measurements, polarisation scans and impedance measurements. The long-term protection given by octylamine-impregnated paper to these metals was examined by Stevenson's chamber test. It was found that octylamine offered more than 80 per cent protection against atmospheric corrosion for carbon steel, copper and brass.
