Corrosionpedia Explains Amine Blush
Amine blush appears as a waxy layer on any substrate surface. As such, it can be a problematic occurrence that interferes with corrosion prevention methods. It prevents the adequate adhesion of a protective coating to a metallic surface that is prone to corrosion.
Amine blush is water-soluble; therefore it is easily removed with warm water.
