Coatings and Inhibitors

In this context we might mention that surface preparation is a major factor in obtaining good, adherent coatings of any type. Degreasing, chemical cleaning and, in some cases, mechanical treatment are essential steps in the preparation of the surface for coating, which often consists of several layers, for optimum protection.

In reality, a variety of shapes and sizes of tanks, piping and so forth are used, with and without coatings and inhibitors for corrosion-control purposes.

The power transmission system in North America consists of equipment that has been built up since the turn of the century. Although the design of individual components has changed, the materials of construction remained virtually the same steel and cast iron (bare, painted, or galvanized), aluminum alloys and copper alloys, porcelain, glass, and wood. Coatings and inhibitors are used to enhance the corrosion resistance of these materials.

Precipitating (cathodic) inhibitors are simply chemicals that form insoluble precipitates that can coat and protect the surface precipitated films are not as tenacious as passive films and take longer to repair after a system upset. 

Pipelines Pipelines carrying wet gas and crude oil present a corrosion hazard and are protected accordingly by coatings and/or inhibitors. Limitations of corrosion monitoring arise from sampling, in relation to the sampling and interval, and access problems for subsea pipelines (major trunk lines).

In practice, some anticoagulation agents such as heparin or antiplatelet agents, e.g. nitric oxide (NO) are delivered to sensor sites in order to reduce the risk of thrombus formation. Nitric oxide (NO), which is a potent inhibitor of platelet adhesion and activation as well as a promoter of wound healing in tissue, has been incorporated in various polymer metrics including PVC (poly(vinyl-chloride)), PDMS (poly-dimethyl-siloxane) and PU (poly-urethanes). Those NO release polymers have been tested in animals as outer protection coatings and have shown promising effects for the analytical response characteristics of the sensor devices [137],... 

Used industrially for the manufacture of plastics, surface coatings, and adhesives pharmaceuticals, dyes, ion exchange resins, corrosion inhibitors, water treatment resins used agriculturally as a pesticide fumigant. 

A number of 2-alkyl-1,2,3-benzotriazinium salts similar to those described earlier have b n used in protective coatings and in the formulation of adhesives. 3-Alkyl-l,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3fl)-ones have been examined as potential irreversible inhibitors of chymotrypsin, and the 3-(l-adamantyl) derivative as a potential virus inhibitor. Some unspecified 1,2,3-benzotriazine derivatives have been tested as radioprotectant compounds (to complement the well-known mercap-toethylamine and mercaptoalkylisothiouronium compounds), but were found to be ineffective. ... 

Pancrelipase is available in both non-enteric-coated and enteric-coated preparations. Pancrelipase enzymes are rapidly and permanently inactivated by gastric acids. Therefore, non-enteric-coated preparations (eg, Viokase tablets or powder) should be given concomitantly with acid suppression therapy (proton pump inhibitor or H2 antagonist) to reduce acid-mediated destruction within the stomach. Encapsulated formulations contain acid-resistant microspheres (Creon) or microtablets (Pancrease, Ultrase). Enteric-coated formulations are more commonly used because they do not require concomitant acid suppression therapy. 

Borazines, particularly polymeric compounds, have been extensively investigated as preceramic materials from which coatings and fibers of boron nitride can be produced upon thermolysis. B-aryl and halogeno-amino borazines are reported to have use as fire retardants in cotton and nylon textiles. Other reported uses for borazines are as epoxy resin catalysts, polymerization inhibitors of unsaturated alcohols and esters, and catalysts for polymerization of alkenes (95).
