Description
A light tan, crystalline powder that reacts with metals to form stable salts. Benzotriazole is used in industry as a fixing agent in photographic emulsions, as an antitarnish agent for copper and its alloys, and as a corrosion inhibitor in antifreezes and water coolant systems. In 1967, it was used to prevent corrosion on bronze works of art as an additive in an acrylic resin formulation called Incralac (Madsen 1967). More recently benzotriazole has also been used as a Vapor phase corrosion inhibitor and as an additive in antitarnish cloths. Benzotriazole is also used as an antifoggant in photographic developers.
