Other Protective Agents

Other Protective Agents are substances used to protect surfaces, materials, or people from environmental factors such as corrosion, abrasion, heat, ultraviolet radiation, etc. These substances can be added to other materials as coatings, films, or additives.

Types of protective agents and their applications

Protective agents have a wide range and are divided into different categories based on the type of application and the material they protect. Some of the most important types of these agents are:

Anticorrosives: These substances are used to prevent corrosion of metals.
Mechanism of action of protective agents
How protective agents work depends on the type of agent and the material they protect. Some common mechanisms are:

Creating a protective layer: This layer prevents the material from coming into direct contact with the damaging agent.
Changing surface properties: Some protective agents change the properties of the surface and make the surface more resistant to damaging agents.
Adsorption of the damaging agent: Some protective agents absorb the damaging agent and neutralize it.

Applications of Other Protective Agents

Protective agents are used in various industries, including the automotive, aerospace, construction, electronics, medical, etc. industries. For example, anti-rust coatings are used to protect car bodies, heat-protective coatings are used to protect engine parts, and antimicrobial coatings are used to protect medical equipment.
