Benzotriazole-BTA

Benzotriazole (BTA) is a heterocyclic organic compound widely used as a corrosion inhibitor, especially for copper, silver, and their alloys. BTA molecules chemisorb onto metal surfaces, forming a thin, compact polymer film (e.g., Cu(I)BTA complex on copper). This film blocks oxygen and corrosive agents, providing excellent protection.

Product Overview

Benzotriazole (BTA) is a highly effective, widely used industrial corrosion inhibitor, especially known for protecting copper and copper alloys. It works by forming a thin protective film on metal surfaces. BTA is also valued for its multifunctional properties in water treatment, metalworking, antifreeze, and many other fields.

· Chemical Info: 1H-Benzotriazole, CAS 95-14-7, formula C₆H₅N₃, molecular weight 119.13.

· Physical Form: White to light yellow needle-like crystals or powder. Melting point ~98.5°C, boiling point 204°C (decomposes).

· Solubility: Slightly soluble in cold water, readily soluble in hot water, ethanol, acetone, and other organic solvents.

· Chemical Stability: Stable, low toxicity, non-flammable. Acute oral LD50 (mice) ~965 mg/kg. Main hazards: eye irritation and aquatic toxicity (GHS classification).

Product Benefits

· Superior Corrosion Protection – Uniquely effective for copper, silver, and their alloys. Prevents tarnishing and corrosion by forming a dense, adherent protective film.

· Multifunctional – Also acts as a UV absorber for polymers, an antifogging agent in photography, an analytical reagent, and an organic synthesis intermediate.

· Broad Industrial Applicability – Used in circulating cooling water systems, metalworking fluids, rust preventives, automotive antifreeze, electronics, coatings, and more.

Usage

The most common application is in circulating cooling water systems:

Application Mode

Recommended BTA Concentration

Continuous treatment

0.5 – 2.0 mg/L (as BTA)

Pre-filming treatment

5 – 15 mg/L (as BTA)

Using BTA sodium salt (BTA·Na)

2 – 4 mg/L (as BTA·Na)

Compatibility: BTA is generally compatible with most other water treatment chemicals. However, always perform a small‑scale compatibility test before full‑scale use.

FAQ

Is BTA effective for all metals?

BTA works very well for copper, copper alloys, silver, lead, nickel, and zinc. It is not a primary choice for steel/iron because its inhibition effect on ferrous metals is weak.

Is BTA safe to handle?

It has low acute toxicity, but standard industrial hygiene measures are required. In case of eye/skin contact, flush with plenty of water. If inhaled, move to fresh air and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.

How should BTA be stored?

Store in a cool, dry, dark place. Shelf life varies by supplier (typically 6–24 months). If old material shows a slight precipitate at the bottom, shaking or stirring usually restores its performance.
