The invention relates to a silver plating anti-tarnish protectant compound. The protectant compound comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 13 to 15 percent of aliphatic alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, 8 to 10 percent of 1-phenyl-pentasulfhydyl tetrazole, 4 to 5 percent of 2-sulfhydryl benzoxazole, 3 to 5 percent of t-dodecyl mercaptan, 3 to 5 percent of 2-sulfhydryl benzimidazole, 8 to 10 percent of anhydrous ethanol, 8 to 10 percent of ethylene glycol, and the balance of deionized water. The silver plating anti-tarnish protectant compound forms a protective complex film on a silver surface, has a higher corrosion inhibition rate, and obviously improves the sulfidation resistance and abrasion resistance of the silver surface. The silver plating anti-tarnish protectant compound is mainly used for the tarnish prevention of silvered electronic parts and components, and is also applied to the sulfidation and tarnish prevention of silver or silvered jewellery, jewelry, ornaments, artwork, tableware, and the like. The silver plating anti-tarnish protectant compound can effectively protect silvered articles against sulfidation and tarnish in a certain period, keep the original metal luster and has no influence on the conductivity and weldability of the parts.
