Product description
EC9206A is a corrosion inhibitor product consisting of xylene, methanol, isopropanol, TOFA anhydride/amidoamine salts, alky pyridine mixture, ethoxylated castor oil and ethyl benzene. It is used to inhibit internal corrosion in oil and gas wells by forming a film on the surface of the casing, tubing, and pump parts. 2. EC9210A is a corrosion inhibitor product consisting of methanol, isopropanol, TOFA anhydride/amidoamine salts, alkyl pyradine hydrochlorides, benzyl chloride quaternary salt, quaternary ammonium chloride salt, diethylamine and an ethoxylated alkyl amine. It is used to inhibit internal corrosion in oil and gas pipelines by forming a film on the internal surface of the pipe. 3. EC9217A is a corrosion inhibitor product consisting of isopropanol, triethanolamine, substituted morpholine, diethanolamine, ammonium bisulfite and water. It is used to inhibit internal corrosion in the annulus of oil and gas wells by forming a film on the internal surface of the pipe. 4. EC6246A is a scale inhibitor product consisting of methanol, alkylamine phosphonate, ammonium chloride and water. It is used by oil and gas producers to prevent mineral scale deposition in oil and gas equipment. 5. Surflo S3712 is a hydrate control chemical product consisting of methanol, ethoxylated nonyl phenol and water. It is designed and used to inhibit the formation of hydrates in oil and gas production equipment.
