Corrosion inhibitors can be used in the metal pickling process to reduce acid corrosion of the metal substrate. This dataset includes the main raw materials, auxiliary materials, and energy used in the production process; infrastructure such as production equipment manufacturing and factory construction is not included within the system boundary of the dataset. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data obtained from multiple sources. The manufacturing process of corrosion inhibitors includes raw material mixing, formulation, packaging, and other steps.
