Abstract: Adhesive compositions are described which comprise at least one organic sulfoxide, sulfone or sulfide and at least one ketone, ether, ester, amide or carbonate or a mixture thereof. The adhesive compositions also may contain one or more water insoluble polymers such as ABS, PVC and CPVC. Methods of adhesively bonding or welding a first plastic surface to a second plastic surface using these adhesive compositions also are described.

Abstract: An anti-corrosion composition for use with a liquid or the liquid resulting from the addition of components is provided. The composition can include an acid, a phosphate ester of an alcohol, an inorganic phosphate, a salt of polyacrylates and a salt of an organophosphonate. The composition can be used with anti-freeze compositions or heat transfer fluids and advantageously exhibits enhanced corrosion resistance properties. A heat transfer medium is also provide, having water, glycol, an ester of a phosphoric acid, a phosphate salt and an acid, wherein the medium is a GRAS composition capable of satisfying ASTM 1384 and 4340.
