The surface conditioning liquid composition is used simply by effecting contact between the metal and the liquid composition, and can also be used to simultaneously carry out degreasing, particularly when the conditioning liquid also contains nonionic or anionic surfactant.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2001Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: Henkel CorporationInventors: Takaomi Nakayama, Yasuhiko Nagashima, Kensuke Shimoda, Hirokastu Bannai

Patent number: 6468336Abstract: The present invention relates to novel water-borne shop primer (preconstruction primer) compositions comprising 5-40% by volume of a pigment mixture; 1.4-10% by volume of one or more water soluble silicates (based on the dry volume of the silicate); 40-90% by volume of water; and optionally one or more additives; said pigment mixture comprising 40-90% by weight of zinc, 10-60% by weight of micaceous iron oxide (MIO), and 0-50% by weight of a second filler (e.g. barium sulphate, kaolin, muscovite, quartz, etc.). The present invention also provides a method of using a shop primer composition for temporary protection of a steel surface, and to a method for the manufacture of a steel construction.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2000Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignee: J.C. Hempel's Skibsfarve-Fabrik A/SInventors: Helle Fiedler, Dorte Jeanette Jensen, Ulla Kirsten Neestrup Hansen, Gruska Elisabeth Folkmann Musaeus

Patent number: 6468364Abstract: An anticorrosion treatment of an aluminium/zinc alloy surface is disclosed. The treatment includes the steps of forming on the alloy surface a coating of a solution which contain 5-40 grams of molybdenum per litre of the solution, 2-19% by volume of a phosphoric acid, and a surface etchant. The treatment also includes drying the coating to form a dried coating having a loading of molybdenum of at least 10 mg/m2 of the dried coating and of phosphorus of at least 15 mg/m2 of the dried coating.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2001Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignee: BHP Steel (JLA) Pty LtdInventor: Shannon Marecic

Patent number: 6461449Abstract: Metal surfaces, particularly the zinciferous surfaces of zinc-coated steel, can be given a chromate conversion coating that is superior in terms of blackening resistance and white rust resistance by drying into place on the surfaces a layer of a treatment liquid that contains water, hexavalent chromium atoms, trivalent chromium cations, nitrate ions and one or more types of metal ions selected from the group consisting of Ni, Co, Zn and Al, the molar ratio of the total of these metal ions to nitrate ions being in the range from 0.05 to 1.0, the molar ratio of trivalent chromium ions to hexavalent chromium atoms being in the range of 0.11:1.0 to 1.0:1.0, and the molar ratio of nitrate ions to total chromium atoms being in the range of 2.1 to 5.5. Preferably, the coating formed has a chromium content of 10 to 100 mg/m2.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2000Date of Patent: October 8, 2002Assignee: Henkel CorporationInventors: Yuzuru Matsubara, Akira Kato
