Abstract: A water treating agent is constituted by blending water as a main component with a coating film forming agent of which a coating film is formed on the heat transfer surface of a boiler tube, a oxygen scavenger, a scale inhibitor, and a pH adjustor in such a manner that the general corrosion and local corrosion of the heat transfer surface of the boiler tube can be prevented and excellent heat transfer property can be obtained. The water treating agent is injected into boiler feed water to perform the prevention of the corrosion of the heat transfer surface of the boiler tube and the suppression of the scaling of the heat transfer surface in a balanced manner. Thus, a coating film capable of suppressing corrosion is formed of the coating film forming agent on the heat transfer surface of the boiler tube. Dissolved oxygen in boiler feed water is removed by the oxygen scavenger.

Abstract: A dispersant can be used to prevent fouling in process equipment. The dispersant is particularly useful in applications such as the prevention of fouling of compressor blades in compressors used for ethylene production. The dispersant includes an admixture of isopropylhydroxyl amine and an N,N-dialkyl fatty acid amide.

It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of claims. 37 CFR 1.

Abstract: A method of reinforcing a structural support, includes applying a reinforcement system comprising an AR-glass fibrous layer embedded in an inorganic matrix to the structural support. The AR-glass fibrous layer has a sizing applied thereon, and a resinous coating applied is applied over the sizing. The inorganic matrix is adherent to the resinous coating and the resinous coating is adherent to the sizing.

Abstract: A liquid corrosion inhibitor comprising a primary, secondary, tertiary or mixed amine complexing agent and a carboxylic acid complexing agent, and may further contain a pH adjusting agent and an antifreeze agent, which is capable of providing both short-term and long-term corrosion protection on ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates and protection from flash rusting commonly associated with ferrous metal substrates, without adversely affecting high gloss in coatings.

Abstract: A corrosion inhibitor composition includes between about 90 and about 99 percent by weight ammonium benzoate, and one or more additive components in an amount of between 1 and about 10 percent by weight of the composition. The one or more additive components are selected from the group consisting of silica, triazoles, and wetting agents.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for the reduction of the corrosion rate of already corroding steel reinforcements embedded in a hardened concrete structure as well as for the protective corrosion inhibition of uncorroded steel reinforcements embedded in a hardened concrete structure exposed to aggressive environments. The inventive new compositions employed for the novel method are essentially based on one or more amino- and/or hydroxyalkylamino compound(s), which are partially or completely neutralized with one or more inorganic acid(s) and/or derivatives thereof and/or aliphatic carboxylic- and/or aromatic carboxylic acid(s), one or more surfactant(s) and one or more water-based or water-thinnable water repellent agent(s) selected from the group of organosilicones.

Abstract: A composition for use in forming a dry film coating on metal surfaces to at least temporarily protect the surfaces from oxidation comprises at least 20% by weight of a combination of at least one saturated linear carboxylic monoacid with at least one unsaturated linear carboxylic monoacid. The monoacids are in the form of alkaline, alkaline-earth or amine salts. The carbon chain of each acid comprises an uneven number of carbon atoms varying from 5 to 21. At least 0.5% by weight of a triazole derivative can be added to enhance the anti-corrosion effect. The composition is water-soluble and the dry protective film can be formed by diluting the composition in water, applying the diluted composition to a metal surface and then air drying it.

Abstract: This invention relates to a bivalent iron compound comprising a bivalent iron salt, an amino acid and a reducing material. It is known that bivalent iron salts exhibit specific effects in wide applications, for example, agricultural applications such as modification of soil quality, fishing applications such as quality preservation of fishes, medical applications such as treatment of diseases and industrial applications such as prevention of metal corrosion and purification of waste water and exhaust gas. However, the conventional bivalent iron salts suffer a problem that they cannot exhibit such effect for extended periods. This invention was successful in chemically stabilizing the bivalent iron salts by adding amino acids and reducing materials so as to sustain the effects inherent in the bivalent iron salts and to enable utilization thereof in industrial applications.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for making and a method for using a corrosion inhibitor composition to reduce the corrosion rate of a metal by a fluid containing a corrosion agent. The corrosion inhibitor composition comprises at least a quaternized compound having an amido moiety. An example of the quaternized compound is a quaternized amido imidazoline.

Abstract: A concrete sealer material is provided containing a corrosion inhibitor which is free to migrate upon leeching from the concrete sealer. The inhibitor retards the rate of corrosion of reinforcements contained within the concrete, including metallic mesh, grid, rebar, and other metallic articles utilized for reinforcement. The sealer material is preferably a film forming component of silicate or silane modified siloxanes. The corrosion inhibitor is preferably an amine salt, an amino alcohol, alkalized salt of glucoheptonates, or, calcium nitrite and mixtures thereof. A compatibility enhancer of an aminoalkyl silane can be added to the blend.
