Abstract: Pharmaceutical aerosol formulations comprising flunisolide, ethanol, and a propellant selected from the group consisting of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane, and a mixture thereof.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical aerosol formulations substantially free of chlorofluorocarbons and comprising a therapeutically effective amount of flunisolide in solution with ethanol and a propellant selected from the group consisting of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane and a mixture thereof are used for the treatment of bronchial asthma. The formulation may be delivered by a metered dose inhaler with a canister that is inert to flunisolide.

Abstract: A vapor phase corrosion inhibitor-desiccant composite comprising silica gel granules coated with a vapor phase corrosion inhibitor component. The corrosion inhibitor component is selected from a formulation comprising anhydrous molybdates such as ammonium dimolybdate, sodium molybdate and amine molybdates mixed with benzotriazole and sodium nitrate, or from a formulation comprising amine benzoates, amine nitrates and benzotriazole. The composites can be impregnated into foam, extruded with polyolefin films which can additionally be laminated with metallized second film, or encapsulated in an air-permeable container. The corrosion inhibitor formulations have vapor pressures which provide ongoing corrosion protection for susceptible articles situated favorably with respect to the composite.

Abstract: A vapor phase corrosion inhibitor-desiccant formulation comprising silica gel granules coated with a finely divided anhydrous molybdate selected from the group consisting of anhydrous sodium molybdate, anhydrous ammonium dimolybdate, and anhydrous amine molybdates having the structural formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is an aliphatic hydrocarbon having up to 7 carbon atoms, and wherein R.sub.2 is either hydrogen or an aliphatic hydrocarbon having up to 7 carbon atoms with these anhydrous molybdates being provided in admixture with sodium nitrite and benzotriazole. The composite formulations of the present invention have been found to be particularly desirable as a vapor phase corrosion inhibitor when in contact with the environs of metals susceptible to corrosion including, for example, iron, aluminum, copper, and alloys such as alloys of iron, copper, and the like. The vapor phase corrosion inhibitors appear to exhibit improved properties when utilized as a powdered coating upon granular silica gel.
