An organic passivation layer is a protective coating or film applied to a metal surface to prevent corrosion. Synonyms for organic passivation layer include anticorrosion coating, rust inhibitor, protective film, barrier layer, corrosion inhibitor and surface treatment. These coatings are typically made of organic materials, such as polymers, oils, and resins, which adhere to the metal surface and form a barrier that prevents moisture and oxygen from reaching the metal. The use of organic passivation layers is an effective way to extend the lifespan of metal objects and structures, such as machinery, pipelines, and buildings, saving on repair and replacement costs over time.
