  • Method and composition for detecting and quantifying filming amines in liquids
    Patent number: 11619590
    Abstract: A composition and method for the photometric determination of a film-forming amine in liquid by adding an indicator reagent to an aqueous system that is pH dependent, combining a water soluble non-ionic polymer to modify the physical properties of the aqueous system, and adding an acidic buffer to said aqueous system to lower pH and activate said indicator, said water soluble polymer keeping the filming amine/indicator complex in solution despite the acidic buffer and preventing it from precipitating out.
    Type: Grant
