Abstract: A series of water-dispersible and oil-dispersible corrosion inhibiting solutions are disclosed which comprise about 10 ppm by volume to about 5% by volume of an acid catalyzed condensation reaction product of a fatty acid and a polythioether polyol represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are H, a methyl group, or an ethyl group, X is a divalent organic radical selected from the group consisting of --C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --, --C.sub.4 H.sub.8 --, --C.sub.2 C.sub.4 OC.sub.2 H.sub.4 --, and C.sub.2 H.sub.4 SC.sub.2 H.sub.4 --, and n is about 2 to about 40. Metal equipment can be protected through the use of the invention corrosion inhibiting solutions by contacting metal with an effective amount of inhibiting solution containing the polythioether polyol/fatty acid reaction product in a continuous exposure or batch treatment.

Abstract: Methods are provided for inhibiting the corrosion of iron and iron-containing metals in contact with aqueous systems. Salicylaldoxime is added to cooling water systems to inhibit the corrosion of these metal surfaces.

Abstract: A method of preparing chlorine dioxide in a non-aqueous liquid is disclosed. An aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide is mixed and agitated with a non-aqueous liquid. The chlorine dioxide is extracted into the non-aqueous liquid. In a preferred embodiment, an aqueous chlorite solution is added to a quantity of non-aqueous liquid. Acid is added to the aqueous phase to generate chlorine dioxide. The phases are vigorously agitated to extract the chlorine dioxide into the non-aqueous phase. High concentrations of very pure chlorine dioxide are obtainable. In another preferred embodiment, chlorine is prepared in a non-aqueous liquid and is mixed and agitated with an aqueous chlorite solution. Separation of the aqueous and non-aqueous phases provides pure solutions of chlorine dioxide in the non-aqueous liquid. Very pure aqueous solutions of chlorine dioxide are prepared by mixing and agitating non-aqueous solutions of chlorine dioxide with water.

Abstract: An organotin stabilizer mixture comprising: (a) monoalkyltin mercaptoalcohol (b) a monoalkyltin mercaptoacid ester; and (c) a monoalkyltin sulfide provides improved early color, lubricity, and weatherability to rigid vinyl polymer formulations. The formulation may also contain a monoalkyltin mercaptoalcohol ester as an optional component.

Abstract: A liquid anticorrosion composition adapted for application to ferrous tubular goods is provided comprising an aqueous solution of cyclohexylammonium benzoate and a benzoate salt, which is preferably prepared by reacting cyclohexylamine with excess sodium benzoate in an aqueous alcohol solvent. A sealable thread protector end cap which protects the precisely machined threads from physical abuse and which isolates or seals from the environment the corrosion inhibitor composition is also provided.

Abstract: A two-part compositional mixture including a non-metallic concentrate with the appropriately blended requisite components in recommended amounts including HNO.sub.3 provides a single bath and dip process system. The inventive concentrate is a multifunctional metallic interface conversion system which includes a Tri-basic acid and/or a selection from, Mono-, Di-, Tri and/or Poly-Carboxylic acid or their ester or derivatives. The inventive compositional concentrate inhibits metallic corrosion through deposition of a protective coating/film on metallic surfaces which are exposed to atmospheric environments, water or water vapor.

Abstract: Stress corrosion cracking of metal weldments in the presence of an aqueous alkanol amine solution is reduced by the use of a stress corrosion inhibiting amount of a sulfiding agent selected from elemental sulfur or a sulfide ion yielding compound.

Abstract: A preservative composition for a wet wipe product comprising carboxylic acids and grapefruit seed extract.

Abstract: Vinyl aromatic compounds are stabilized against polymerization by the addition of an effective amount of a polymerization inhibition composition comprising (a) a phenothiazine compound; and (b) an aryl-substituted phenylenediamine compound. In other aspects, this invention is directed to a vinyl aromatic composition stabilized against polymerization by such polymerization inhibitor composition, as well as to a method of stabilizing a vinyl aromatic composition against polymerization which method comprises adding an effective amount of such polymerization inhibitor composition.

Abstract: Aryl fluorophosphites have been found to be effective polymer stabilizers and are hydrolytically stable when used to form aqueous suspensions.
