Abstract

A corrosion inhibited sodium and calcium chloride composition preferably in granular form, which is uniformly coated with a minute to minor quantity of an inhibitor comprising chiefly superphosphate and a minor amount of magnesium oxide. There is also disclosed a method for inhibiting corrosion of sodium and calcium chloride which comprises supplying to the metal surface which is exposed to corrosive attack by sodium and calcium chloride, a minute quantity of an inhibitor comprising chiefly superphosphate and a minor amount of magnesium oxide. The magnesium oxide functions to cement the inhibitor as a tenacious coating on the salt granules, and also to enhance the effectiveness of the phosphate corrosion inhibition.
