Abstract: A process for the manufacture of improved water soluble polyaminopolyamide-epichlorohydrin resins is disclosed. The polyaminopolyamide-epichlorohydrin reaction is continued until between 70% to 100% of the total charge of epichlorohydrin has reacted. The polyaminopolyamide-epichlorohydrin mixture is then treated with a specified amount of a halogen-free mineral acid. Preferably the mineral acid is selected from the group consisting of sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid and sodium hydrogen sulphate. Following the completion of the acid addition the reaction is continued to effect at least a 10% reduction in the polymer bound organochlorine concentration, based on the composition of the reaction mixture at the time of the acid addition.

Abstract: The present invention utilizes low volatility amines or alkanol amines to control caustic corrosion which can take place when a boiler system, treated with a coordinated phosphate/pH program, is "out of control".N-substituted hydroxyalkyl piperazines are also capable of mitigating caustic corrosion in coordinated phosphate/pH programs. Combinations of the compounds of the present invention and phosphate have also been shown to be efficacious at mitigating caustic corrosion in coordinated phosphate/pH programs.
