Zinc is also used extensively to galvanize other metals such as iron to prevent corrosion. Zinc oxide is a unique and very useful material for modern civilization. It is widely used in the manufacture of paints, rubber products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, floor coverings, plastics, printing inks, soap, storage batteries, textiles, electrical equipment, and other products. Lithopone, a mixture of zinc sulfide and barium sulfate, is an important pigment. 

Feed solutions are usually made up at a water to chemical ratio of 2 1 to 8 1 (on a weight basis) with the usual ratio being 4 1 with a 20-minute detention time. Care must be taken not to dilute ferric sulfate solutions to less than 1 percent to prevent hydrolysis and deposition of ferric hydroxide. Ferric sulfate is actively corrosive in solution, and dissolving and transporting equipment should be fabricated of type 316 stainless steel, rubber, plastics, ceramics, or lead. 

Red lead (Pb304) is manufactured on the 20000-tonne scale annually and is used primarily as a surface coating to prevent corrosion of iron and steel (check oxidation-reduction potentials). It is also used in the production of leaded glasses and ceramic glazes and. very substantially, as an activator, vulcanizing agent and pigment in natural and artificial rubbers and plastics. 

Tinned copper and copper alloys Copper itself has a fair corrosion resistance but traces of copper salts are often troublesome and a tin coating offers a convenient means of preventing their formation. Thus copper wire to receive rubber insulation is tinned to preserve the copper from sulphide tarnish and the rubber from copper-catalysed oxidation, and also to keep the wire easily solderable. Vessels to contain water or foodstuffs, including cooking vessels, water-heaters and heat exchangers, may all be tinned to avoid copper contamination accompanied by possible catalysis of the oxidation of such products as milk, and discolouration in the form of, for example, green stains in water and food. 

Hydrochloric acid forms a layer of rubber hydrochloride film when in contact with ebonite and this film prevents further reaction with the acid, thus protecting against corrosion. Similarly, wet chlorine forms a layer of chlorinated rubber film when in contact with ebonite, and this prevents further reaction with chlorine thereby giving protection against corrosion. 

If the environment slowly attacks either the substrate or the membrane, the interposition of a brick lining between the contained liquid and the substrate or membrane will reduce to a tiny trickle the amount of chemical that reaches the membrane or substrate. Corrosion products, if any, are trapped behind the brick and cannot be washed away to uncover further material to be corroded, so that the corrosion slows down and may eventually stop. Example In a dished bottom, cylindrical steel tank containing a mixture of acid and oil, the steel was lined originally with sheet natural rubber. The rubber lining swells as the oil enters it, but the brickwork holds it in place until the rubber has swollen into all the pores of the brickwork and blocked them preventing any more of the contained liquid from passing behind the brick. 

Caution. All reactions should be conducted In a well-ventilated fume hood with appropriate precautions. Arsenic and antimony pentafluoride and arsenic trifluoride are very poisonous and hydrolyze readily to form Bromine is corrosive and is harmful to the skin and mucous membranes. Sulfur dioxide is poisonous and can generate 3 to 4 atmospheres pressure at room temperature. Well-constructed glass vessels or metal systems must be employed to prevent pressure bursts. The use of rubber gloves, safety glasses, and face shields is recommended. 

When there is a relative motion between the corroding liquid and the metal or rubber surface the rate of attack of the damage to the surface is increased. The process is called sweating off with the corrosion product thus exposing the base surface again to corrosion. Otherwise the corrosion product (as a newly formed protective layer) would have prevented or slowed down further corrosion, just as in the case of hypochlorous acid solution on natural rubber lining, where the protective corrosion products exhibit very low cohesion and as such prone to be wiped off by the liquid unlike wet chlorine or hydrochloric acid which form a strong layer of corrosion product well adhered to the rubber surface.
