Abstract: This invention provides a novel, synergistic composition and method for reducing corrosion, particularly white rust corrosion, on galvanized metal surfaces in industrial water systems. The composition is a synergistic blend and preferably comprises from about 0 to about 10 weight percent of an amine-based white rust corrosion reducer and from about 10 to about 90 weight percent of a benzotriazole. In a method for using the synergistic blend, an effective amount of the blend is introduced onto the galvanized metal surface to form a barrier on the surface. After one or more time intervals, the composition is optionally overlayed onto the initial barrier by reintroducing an effective amount of the composition onto the galvanized metal surface.

Abstract: This invention is directed to the treatment of aqueous systems and specifically to the inhibition and removal of scale and solid deposits in industrial water systems. The invention comprises the use of substoichiometric amounts of an inhibitor composition comprising at least one acrylic polymer, at least one water-soluble polymer derived from maleic acid or its anhydride, a water-soluble organic phosphonate and at least one water-soluble chelating agent. This inhibitor composition is added to the water in the systems in amounts ranging from about 0.01 to 600 parts of the inhibitor per million parts by weight of the water.

Abstract: This invention is directed to the treatment of aqueous systems, and specifically to the inhibition and removal of scale and solid deposits in industrial water systems. The invention comprises the use of less than a stoichiometric amount of an inhibitor composition comprising at least one acrylic polymer, at least one water-soluble polymer derived from maleic acid or its anhydride, water-soluble organic phosphonates, and at least one water-soluble chelating agent. This inhibitor composition is added to the water in the systems in amounts ranging from about 0.01 to 600 parts of the inhibitor composition per million parts by weight of the water.
