Patent number: 7981314Abstract: Aqueous corrosion inhibitor compositions, preferably storage-stable, useful in acidic cleaning solutions for cleaning the surfaces of metal, comprising reaction products of at least one rosin amine component, at least one non-flammable liquid ketone component, at least one carboxylic acid component, at least one paraformaldehyde component and water; aqueous acidic cleaners prepared therefrom; and methods of their use. The inventive corrosion inhibitor compositions are made by a simple process which reduces the presence of toxic and/or flammable raw materials, co-products, residual reactants and chloride ion while providing acid inhibition in aqueous acidic cleaners.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2006Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Henkel KGaAInventors: David R. McCormick, James P. Bershas

Patent number: 6899770Abstract: A metal substrate is provided with a coating that (i) provides substantial corrosion resistance, (ii) makes it possible to shape the substrate by roll forming and similar light cold forming operations without the need for any oil or wax lubricant, and (iii) has good adhesion to subsequently applied paint. This is achieved by coating the metal substrate surface with an aqueous liquid composition that contains acrylate polymer resin, wax, and hexavalent chromium and then drying this coating into place on the surface to produce the desired dry coating.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2000Date of Patent: May 31, 2005Assignee: Henkel CorporationInventors: Bruce H. Goodreau, Robert W. Miller, Thomas J. Prescott, Christopher A. Engel, Michael A. Murphy, James P. Bershas, John R. Pierce

Patent number: 6329206Abstract: The concentration of a hexamethylenetetramine-containing inhibitor in an acid pickling solution that has accumulated dissolved iron from use of the solution in pickling ferriferous material can be estimated with sufficient accuracy for practical control of the pickling process by alkalinizing a sample of the pickling solution to a pH of at least 10.8, so that any iron content of the solution precipitates from the solution, separating the precipitate from the liquid remainder of the alkalinized sample, and determining by colorimetry the concentration in the liquid remainder of formaldehyde produced by acid catalyzed hydrolysis of the hexamethylenetetramine to formaldehyde and ammonia.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1999Date of Patent: December 11, 2001Assignee: Henkel CorporationInventor: James P.

Patent number: 5584944Abstract: A lubricant and surface conditioner for formed metal surfaces, particularly aluminum and tin beverage containers, reduces the coefficient of static friction of said metal surfaces and enables drying said metal surfaces at a lower temperature. The conditioner includes a water-soluble organic material selected from amine oxides and quaternary ammonium salts, fluozirconate, fluohafnate, or fluotitanate ion, and preferably also phosphate and nitrate ions. Good resistance to damaging the friction reducing effect by overheating and to staining of the domes of treated containers during pasteurization can be achieved.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1995Date of Patent: December 17, 1996Assignee: Henkel CorporationInventors: James P. Bershas, Timm L. Kelly, Gary L. Rochfort, Henry A. Rossmaier

Patent number: 5486316Abstract: The coefficient of friction of aluminum can surfaces after alkaline cleaning and drying can be substantially reduced by adding to the alkaline cleaner a mobility enhancing additive, preferably a surface active quaternary ammonium salt with hydroxyethyl substituents on the quaternary nitrogen atoms. A can surface suitable for automatic conveying and high quality lacquer or printing ink adhesion can thereby be obtained, if desired without including any substantial fluoride content in any treatment stage.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 1994Date of Patent: January 23, 1996Assignee: Henkel CorporationInventors: James P. Bershas, Timm L. Kelly, Gary L. Rochfort

Patent number: 5458698Abstract: A lubricant and surface conditioner for formed metal surfaces, particularly aluminum and tin beverage containers, reduces the coefficient of static friction of said metal surfaces and enables drying said metal surfaces at a lower temperature. The conditioner includes a water-soluble organic material selected from alkoxylated or non-alkoxylated castor oil triglycerides and hydrogenated castor oil derivatives; alkoxylated and nonoalkoxylated amine salts of a fatty acid including mono-, di-, tri-, and poly-acids; alkoxylated and non-alkoxylated amino fatty acids; alkoxylated and non-alkoxylated fatty amine N-oxides, alkoxylated and non-alkoxylated quaternary ammonium salts, oxa-acid esters, and water-soluble alkoxylated and non-alkoxylated polymers.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1993Date of Patent: October 17, 1995Assignee: Henkel CorporationInventors: James P. Bershas, Timm L. Kelly, Gary L. Rochfort

Patent number: 5378379Abstract: A combination of phosphonoinidazoline at surfactant, soluble polyvalent metal ions, and a metal etching component, which is tolerant of aluminum cations and aluminate anions, when used as the Stage 4 rinse for aluminum cans provides good can mobility and good resistance to loss of mobility during heating of the treated cans to a greater extent than is normal during high speed processing. A concentrate of the active ingredients of such a Stage 4 treatment also maintains its effectiveness for longer than do similar produels when stored at high ambient temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1993Date of Patent: January 3, 1995Assignee: Henkel CorporationInventor: James P. Bershas
