I get a lot of  calls with the product LPS 3 rust inhibitor speced in their certain applications.   There first question to me is what is LPS 3.   LPS 3 protects metal parts stored indoors for up to two years. LPS 3 forms a soft, self-healing, waxy film that acts as an effective barrier sealing out moisture, acid, dirt, sand, dust and other corrosive elements. 

That is the text book definition.  Let me break down in simple terms what a rust inhibitor is.

The job of Corrosion Inhibitors is to slow down corrosion.

Corrosion can affect all sorts of metal parts, and the Corrosion Inhibitors reduce the affects of liquids eroding metal. Without Corrosion Inhibitors, the component, part or pipe would corrode quicker, and could become dangerous or even fail completely.

Vehicle oils have Corrosion Inhibitors in them, so that the oil doesn’t damage the moving parts it is designed to protect. As well as vehicle oils, fuels have Corrosion Inhibitors added to them so that they don’t damage the engine.

Pipelines and other structures that carry and process liquids need to be adequately protected against corrosion. These structures are often in constant use, and in remote locations, and any downtime is likely to greatly affect production or distribution.

Oil depots and refineries as well as other places that store liquids for a long time need to ensure that the storage tanks and units are not corroded. This is another reason why fuels need Corrosion Inhibitors adding to them.
