Abstract: A corrosion inhibitor with excellent film forming and film persistency characteristics may be produced by first reacting in a condensation reaction a polybasic acid with a polyalcohol to form a partial ester. The partial ester is reacted with imidazoline and/or fatty diamines to salt the ester. If warranted, the salted partial ester may be reacted with a metal hydroxide, a metal oxide, and/or ammonia to further salt the ester. Surfactants may be added to tailor the inhibitor formulation to meet the specific needs of the user (i.e., the corrosion inhibitor may be formulated to produce an oil-soluble, highly water-dispersible corrosion inhibitor or an oil-dispersible, water-soluble corrosion inhibitor). Suitable carrier solvents may be employed where needed to effectively disperse the corrosion inhibitor formulation.

Abstract: New oxygen scavengers for boiler waters have been discovered, which oxygen scavengers are based upon N,N,N',N'-tetra substituted phenylenediamines. These compounds provide oxygen scavenging capabilities, metal passivating capabilities, volatility such that condensate systems in an operating boiler are protected, and may be formulated with other oxygen scavengers and other common treatment agents used in boiler waters.The preferred tetra substituted phenylenediamines are N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-1,4-phenylenediamines, or its precursors.

Abstract: R12, which contains chlorine, and hydrogen-contributing lubricants react to form acids such as hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride and simultaneously, R12 is converted to R22. Such reactions are undesirable because the acids which form destroy the metallic components of a refrigeration system and cause the breakdown of the lubricants.The present invention provides a compositions for use in compression refrigeration and air-conditioning which substantially reduce the occurrence of the foregoing problem.

Abstract: The present invention provides free flowing and moisture resistant compositions from normally hygroscopic compositions by a process of mixing the hygroscopic material with a sealing material and heat treating. By controlling the sealing material added, the heat treatment time, and the heat treatment temperature, the sealing material forms a glassy coating on the hygroscopic material that is impervious to moisture while retaining free-flow properties. The present invention particularly provides free-flowing and moisture resistant sodium titanate and potassium titanate compositions having a moisture pick-up =< about 0.5 wt. % by a process of mixing sodium titanate or potassium titanate with a sealing material and heat treating the mixture.
