  • Rust converting and removing compositions
    Patent number: 4824589
    Abstract: A rust converting composition comprises ascorbic acid, lignin sulfonate, and a water insoluble polymer, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, and optionally a thickener. The invention further provides a method for removing rust from rusted metal surfaces by applying the composition, allowing the composition to remain on the rusted metal surface until substantially all of the rust is converted to a water soluble form, and removing the composition from the metal surface by washing with water.

  • Rust conversion coatings
    Patent number: 4609406
    Abstract: A rust conversion composition comprises the reaction product of a polyhydroxybenzoic acid and a alkane polyol, in admixture with a film forming polymer, and water. The composition is applied to rusted, iron-containing surface, and allowed to dry to form a hard, moisture and corrosion resistant film. Alternatively, the film may be removed to produce an iron-containing surface free of rust.

  • Tire sealer and inflator
    Patent number: 4501825
    Abstract: A novel tire sealant and inflator composition comprising a resin, a latex sealant, alkylene glycol, fibers, an alkanolamine, a foaming agent, and water. The composition is packaged in aerosol cans with a chlorofluorocarbon propellant/inflator and used to seal and inflate punctured tires. The composition is applied to the punctured tire through the valve stem, and acts to seal the puncture and inflate the tire sufficiently to support the weight of the car.
