Abstract: Disclosed are quaternary ammonium salts containing non-halogen anions such as carbonates, bicarbonates, phosphates, glycolates and mixtures thereof as conversion coatings or additives imparting anti-corrosive properties to paints. The invention relates to a method for inhibiting the corrosion of metal surfaces by applying a composition containing one or more quaternary ammonium carbonate or bicarbonate. The disclosure is also directed to anti-corrosive coatings for metal substrates containing these compounds and to metal substrates having these anticorrosive coatings.

Abstract: It has been found that certain combinations of substituted imidazoline-based amphoterics and quaternary ammonium compounds show markedly reduced irritation profile in addition to providing excellent cleaning detergency. Moreover, it has further been found that certain substituted imidazoline amphoteric surfactants in combination with didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DIDAC) show unexpected synergistic irritation reduction compared to that observed when the quaternary is an ADBAC type. This allows the formulation of disinfectants and sanitizers with the favored antimicrobial agent while at the same time affording the optimum reduction in irritation potential.

Abstract: A sanitizer composition comprisinga) an amine oxide having the formula: ##STR1## wherein the R.sub.1 groups are independently selected from C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or alkoxy groups and R.sub.2 is a branched chain C.sub.11 -C.sub.16 alkyl group, andb) a quaternary ammonium compound having the formula: ##STR2## wherein the R.sub.3 groups are independently selected from C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or alkoxy groups and the R.sub.4 groups are C.sub.8 -C.sub.16 linear or branched alkyl groups wherein at least one of the R.sub.4 groups is a branched C.sub.8 -C.sub.16 alkyl group, and X is chloride, bromide, iodide, carbonate or alkylcarboxylate having a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl radical, and the use thereof.
