| Product Name | Benzotriazole (BTA) |
| Synonyms | 1,2,3-benzotriazole; Benzotraizole |
| Molecular Formula | C6H5N3 |
| Molecular Weight | 119.12 |
| CAS Registry Number | 95-14-7 |
| EINECS | 202-394-1 |
| Molecular Structure |   |
| Product Application | Utilized as a high-molecular stabilizer in rust preventive oils (greases), plant growth regulators, and lubricating oil additives. This product can also be combined with various scale inhibitors and bactericides/algicides for synergistic effects. |
Benzotriazole (BTA), also known as T406, is identified by CAS number 95-14-7
It appears as white to light brown needle-like crystalline powder, gradually turning red upon oxidation in the air. It exhibits solubility in various organic solvents like methanol, acetone, and benzene, while being sparingly soluble in water.
BTA possesses anti-corrosive properties towards metals such as copper, aluminum, and zinc, making it valuable in industrial applications. It can be combined with other corrosion inhibitors to enhance its effectiveness, particularly in closed circulating cooling water systems.
BTA demonstrates strong oxidation resistance and is compatible with various scale inhibitors and biocides. However, caution is warranted as BTA can be flammable and releases toxic smoke upon high heat decomposition. It also presents irritations to the eyes and skin, necessitating protective measures during handling.
Proper storage in a cool, ventilated area away from sources of heat and light is advised, and it should be kept separate from oxidants and edible chemicals. BTA offers valuable corrosion inhibition benefits within a pH range of 5.5 to 10 but may lose effectiveness in acidic conditions.
