The interaction of dicyclohexyl ammonium nitrite (DICHAN) and dicyclohexylamine (DICHAMIN) on substrates of pure iron and platinum were investigated by ellipsometry. The initial immersion phase (≤ 100 min) under isothermal conditions (20°C) in air of relative humidity (RH) = 0 or (RH) = 100% was investigated. It is shown, that DICHAN is intensively adsorbed on the primary oxide layer of iron materials and causes effective hydrophobing. DICHAMIN to a lower extent decreases the adsorbability of water and when influenced by air of (RH) = 0%, it is completely desorbed. On the basis of the results presented, the actual views on the active principles of vapour phase inhibitors of the iron materials' atmospheric corrosion are defined.
