Abstract: Disclosed herein are corrosion control compositions comprising one or more multiple charged cationic compounds to reduce corrosion of metal surfaces in a water system. The multiple charged cationic compounds are derived from polyamines through a ring-opening reaction with an epoxide or two reactions: an aza-Michael addition with an activated olefin having a cation group and a ring-opening reaction with an epoxide. The disclosed compositions are found to be effective corrosion inhibitors for water systems.
