Abstract

Generally phosphates, chromates, nitrites and zinc ions are used as inhibitors in the older days. In order to reduce the usage of these hazardous substances, now a days phosphonates are used as green inhibitors for sustainability of potable water. The need of the hour is to develop formulations free from hazardous materials used in potable water system. In our studies, we developed the formulation which acts as eco -friendly inhibitor.
