  • Publication number: 20040175587
    Abstract: A corrosion inhibitor is described which includes several supramolecular oxo-anion compositions useful for preventing the propagation of pit corrosion on aluminum and aluminum alloys. The oxo-anion compositions preferably include soluble polymeric oxidic acids comprising combinations of molybdenum, phosphorous, tungsten, and silicon. These compositions are useful as corrosion inhibitors in high-moisture, corrosive environments, such as radiators and cooling systems. For low-moisture environments, these oxo-anion compositions can be reacted with a counter-ion, such as various metals, including, but not limited to the rear earth metals, to form a soluble salt. The salt can then be adsorbed onto a carrier, such as paint pigments, which can then be applied to the surfaces of aluminum and aluminum alloys. These surface adsorbates then become sparingly soluble and are gradually released over time in the presence of an aqueous corrosive agent so as to prevent propagation of pit corrosion.

  • Patent number: 6402990
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for the reduction of the corrosion rate of already corroding steel reinforcements embedded in a hardened concrete structure as well as for the protective corrosion inhibition of uncorroded steel reinforcements embedded in a hardened concrete structure exposed to aggressive environments. The inventive new compositions employed for the novel method are essentially based on one or more amino- and/or hydroxyalkylamino compound(s), which are partially or completely neutralized with one or more inorganic acid(s) and/or derivatives thereof and/or aliphatic carboxylic- and/or aromatic carboxylic acid(s), one or more surfactant(s) and one or more water-based or water-thinnable water repellent agent(s) selected from the group of organosilicones.

  • Patent number: 6383271
    Abstract: An anti-corrosive coating composition suitable for providing corrosion protection for a sheet metal substrate includes from 20 to 97 wt. % of a filler dispersed in a polymeric base or matrix material. The filler includes at least one filler material having a hollow cellular structure, of which the hollow cells are loaded with organic and/or inorganic inhibitors and/or antioxidants. The hollow cellular structure material may be diatomaceous earth, zeolite, or carbon. The inhibitors and/or antioxidants may be selected from carbonic acids, amines, ketones, aldehydes, heterocyclic compounds, phosphates, benzoates, silicates, vanadates, tungstates, zirconates, borates, molybdates, benzaldehyde, vitamin C, vitamin E, or the like. A long term durable corrosion protection is achieved because the inhibitors and/or antioxidants are released from the hollow cells of the filler material in a dosed time-release manner over the operating lifetime of the anti-corrosive coating.
