When present as vapors, certain organic compounds offer inhibition against the corrosion of ferrous and nonferrous materials. The inhibitors include aliphatic, aromatic, cyclohexylamines, aminonitrobenzoates, heteroalkylated lower amines, etc. The mechanism of inhibition offered by these compounds was discussed and an unified mechanism was presented. Various methods of evaluating inhibition efficiency were discussed with a special reference to surface film characterization techniques. Methods of application of the vapor phase inhibitors and their industrial uses also were presented.
