INCHEM TOKYO 2025
Venture Business & Academia
Booth number 5-SI05

At INCHEM TOKYO 2025, JAEA will introduce a new corrosion inhibitor containing food additives, combining aluminum lactate and sodium molybdate. Designed for neutral freshwater, this inhibitor is environmentally friendly, low-toxic, and effective even at low concentrations.

Unlike conventional inhibitors, our product was developed through a scientific method that predicts corrosion suppression based on metal ion properties. This led to the discovery of aluminum lactate as an unexpected but powerful component.

The booth will feature graphs and visual data comparing performance with conventional zinc-based products, clearly showing the benefits in efficiency, cost, and wastewater compliance.

It is also proven to work under highly corrosive conditions, including gamma radiation and air-liquid interfaces, making it suitable for industrial cooling systems, food and pharmaceutical facilities, and more.

We are looking for partners in water treatment, chemical manufacturing, and related industries. Visit our booth to learn more and discuss potential collaboration with our researchers.

Exhibited products (English)	Safe and Eco-Friendly Corrosion Inhibitor Containing Food Additives – Ideal for Water Treatment, Food, and Industrial Use – JAEA has developed a new corrosion inhibitor using food-grade ingredients, offering a safe solution for protecting carbon steel in neutral freshwater. The inhibitor is composed of aluminum lactate and sodium molybdate. These components have low biological toxicity and are unlikely to violate Japanese wastewater regulations. It works at lower concentrations than zinc-based inhibitors, and reducing costs and environmental impact. It also performs well in highly corrosive conditions, such as gamma radiation and air-liquid interfaces, making it suitable for cooling systems, piping, and food or pharmaceutical plants. The inhibitor was developed based on a proprietary theoretical model for evaluating the corrosion inhibition ability of metal cations. , and this approach enabled the first discovery of aluminum lactate's applicability as a corrosion inhibitor. The technology is patented and ready for practical use. We welcome collaboration with partners in water treatment and related fields.
