Abstract: An improved composition and process for forming a corrosion-resistant complex oxide coating on a zinc or zinc alloy surface incorporates in an aqueous alkaline composition of pH value greater than 11 at least three complexed polyvalent metals, one of which is trivalent chromium.
Abstract: A composition and process are useful for providing a corrosion resistant and lacquer receptive coating on the surface of drawn and ironed tin coated cans. The surface is contacted with an aqueous solution of tin containing ions, phosphate and an aromatic nitro compound at pH 1.5 to 3.5 preferably by spray application.
Abstract: An aqueous wet blasting composition and process for cleaning a ferrous surface which reduces the rusting of the surface due to aqueous contact by incorporating phosphate ions and an imine compound in the composition.
Abstract: A composition and method are particularly suitable for applying a corrosion preventive and paint receptive coating to metal surfaces where immersing treatment is impossible or impractical. A brush-on aqueous composition free of reducing agent containing hexavalent and trivalent chromium and at least 5 g/l of silica or silicate together with an organic solvent and thickening agent is applied to the metal surface and dried.
