Silver tarnish inhibitor AC-20 (sulfur-based rust preventive agent)
Silver tarnish inhibitor AC-20
A protective film is formed on the silver surface, which maintains the luster of the silver for a long time. The protective film has good solderability and a low electrical contact resistance.
This is a silver discoloration preventive agent (sulfur-based rust inhibitor) designed to protect the surfaces of electrical and electronic components, as well as jewelry and utensils that are processed with silver and silver plating, from various harmful environments. The environments affecting silver and silver-plated surfaces are diverse, but particularly when exposed to atmospheres containing sulfur gas, sulfides are generated on the silver surface, resulting in a black discoloration of the silver surface, an increase in electrical resistance in electronic components, and a decrease in conductivity. The silver discoloration preventive agent AC20 forms a strong film on the silver surface, protecting it from sulfide and oxidation. Additionally, the protective film has good solderability and low electrical contact resistance. Being water-based and neutral, it is also easy to treat wastewater. AC-20 provides the highest discoloration prevention effect against sulfur gas among the AC series.

Company information
Asahi Corporation has been listening to our customers' requests and striving to develop products that meet their needs since our founding in 1958. So far, we have released a variety of products, including cleaning agents for kitchen areas, car shampoos and waxes for car wash machines, as well as copper and silver tarnish prevention agents. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for environmentally friendly chemicals, leading to an increase in requests for degreasers, cleaning agents, tarnish prevention agents for semiconductors, and high heat-resistant tarnish prevention agents that do not use strong acids or strong alkalis. Our products have been developed in response to such voices from the beginning. We will continue to listen to a variety of feedback and develop new products.
