Strong Metal Affinity:
The benzotriazole ring forms a coordination complex with metal surfaces, particularly copper and its alloys, providing robust corrosion protection.
Hydrophilicity:
The ethanol groups improve water solubility, making it effective in aqueous systems such as coolants and cleaning agents.
Film-Forming Ability:
Creates a thin, passivating film on metal surfaces that shields against moisture, oxygen, and corrosive chemicals.
Stability:
Chemically stable across a broad range of temperatures and pH levels, suitable for various industrial conditions.

Corrosion Inhibitor:

Commonly used in cooling water systems, heat exchangers, and industrial cleaning solutions to prevent metal degradation.
Effective in protecting electronic components and printed circuit boards from corrosion.

Metal Surface Treatment:

Included in formulations for metalworking fluids and lubricants to safeguard metal surfaces during machining and storage.

Additive in Industrial Fluids:

Used in hydraulic fluids, antifreeze solutions, and oilfield production chemicals for corrosion control.

Electronics Industry:

Protects copper-based materials and solder joints from oxidation and environmental damage.
