A SIMPLE-MODEL OF SYNERGISM OF CORROSION-INHIBITORS

Corrosion rates were investigated in terms of inhibitor compositions i n order to find synergism or antagonism between components. The intera ctions between inhibitors were taken into account by second order equa tions. Examination of regression coefficients and their significance i ndicated that synergism may exist if concentrations of inhibitor compo unds are 30 mg dm(-3) and below, but if the inhibitor compounds are ap plied in concentrations of 100 mg dm(-3), antagonism, rather than syne rgism takes place.
