  • Patent number: 5356490
    Abstract: Heating an aqueous mixture of a fluoroacid such as H.sub.2 TiF.sub.6 and an oxide, hydroxide, and/or carbonate such as silica produces a clear mixture with long term stability against settling of any solid phase, even when the oxide, hydroxide, or carbonate phase before heating was a dispersed solid with sufficiently large particles to scatter light and make the mixture before heating cloudy. The clear mixture produced by heating can either be mixed with water soluble and/or water dispersible polymers, for example with dispersed polymers of the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A or an acrylic acid polymer, or with soluble hexavalent and/or trivalent chromium, to produce a composition that improves the corrosion resistance of metals treated with the composition, especially after subsequent painting.

  • Patent number: 5354493
    Abstract: Free-flowing granulates having an apparent density of 650 to 1,000 g/l and containing nonionic surfactants from the class of polyglycol ether derivatives and also finely divided, water-soluble and/or water-insoluble solids and water are prepared by mixing the nonionic surfactant with water, which may optionally contain part, but less than 50% by weight, of the total quantity of water-soluble or water-insoluble solids in dissolved or dispersed form, in a first mixing step (A) until a viscous gel phase has formed. The remaining main quantity of the water-soluble or water-insoluble solids are then added and mixed in solid, powder form in a second mixing phase (B) and the mixture is mechanically treated until granulates have formed and a maximum apparent density is reached. The ratio by weight of nonionic surfactant and water in the gel phase to total solids present (expressed as anhydrous substance) is from 25:75 to 65:35. Zeolites and bentonites are particularly suitable as the water-insoluble solids.
