  • Corrosion Inhibitors and Coating Compositions Containing the Same
    Publication number: 20200181425
    Abstract: A corrosion inhibitor can include (a) an inorganic alkali and/or alkaline earth metal compound and (b) an aldehyde and/or ketone component comprising at least one aromatic ring comprising a ketone and/or aldehyde group and at least one pendant group represented by —OR1. Each R1 is independently selected from hydrogen, an alkyl group, or an aryl group. The coating composition can be used in a multi-layer coating with additional coating layers. Methods of preparing coating compositions with corrosion inhibitors and substrates at least partially coating with such compositions are also included.

  • CORROSION INHIBITORS AND COATING COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20200048475
    Abstract: A method of applying a coating to a surface of a substrate includes: (1) applying a coating composition to at least a portion of a metal surface of a substrate; and (2) curing the coating composition to form a coating over at least a portion of the surface of the substrate. The coating composition includes: (i) a film forming resin; and (ii) a corrosion inhibitor that formed from (a) an inorganic alkali and/or alkaline earth metal compound and (b) an aldehyde and/or ketone component having at least one aromatic ring comprising a ketone and/or aldehyde group and at least one pendant group represented by —OR1. Each R1 is independently selected from hydrogen, an alkyl group, or an aryl group.
