  • Paint detackification using an improved oil-in-water emulsion with dibasic ester
    Patent number: 4919691
    Abstract: In a method of recovering volatile organic paint carrier from paint spray booths and also collecting, detackifying, and dispersing paint solids obtained from paint overspray in said paint spray booths, which paint spray booths are of the type comprising a chamber, a duct system for passing air through said chamber, an exhaust system connected to said duct system, a sump containing a circulating hydrophilic liquid which is pumped onto a means for forming a liquid curtain of said hydrophilic liquid, said liquid curtain being contacted by oversprayed paint and volatile organic paint carrier; the improvement which comprises using as the hydrophilic liquid an improved oil-in-water emulsion maintained at a pH value ranging from 7.5-11.0, which emulsion consists essentially of the ingredients:(a) from 5-50 weight percent, of an organic hydrocarbonaceous liquid having a boiling point of at least 150.degree. C.;(b) from 0.

  • Method for in situ corrosion detection using electrochemically active compounds
    Patent number: 4758312
    Abstract: The invention comprises a method for determining the corrosion rate of metals in contact with a liquid system which is capable of causing corrosion of such metals which comprises adding to the liquid system an electrochemically active compound having a reduction potential more positive than the metal in contact with the liquid system and then monitoring the system thus treated with the electrochemically active compound to determine its rate of reduction which is proportional to the corrosion rate of the metal.
