  • Publication number: 20040011252
    Abstract: Corrosion-inhibiting pigments based on manganese are described that contain a trivalent or tetravalent manganese/valence stabilizer complex. An inorganic or organic material is used to stabilize the trivalent or tetravalent manganese ion to form a compound that is sparingly soluble, exhibits low solubility, or is insoluble in water, depending upon the intended usage. Specific stabilizers are chosen to control the release rate of trivalent or tetravalent manganese during exposure to water and to tailor the compatibility of the powder when used as a pigment in a chosen binder system. Stabilizers may also modify the processing and handling characteristics of the formed powders. Manganese/valence stabilizer combinations are chosen based on the well-founded principles of manganese coordination chemistry. Many manganese-valence stabilizer combinations are presented that can equal the performance of conventional hexavalent chromium or tetravalent lead systems.

  • Patent number: 6514327
    Abstract: Described are liquid setting and hardening accelerators for hydraulic binders and such binder comprising mixtures that preferably are alkali-free and chloride-free and that do not comprise any basic features. The setting accelerators comprise as components aluminum salts, complexing agents, corrosion inhibitors and optionally inorganic and/or organic thickening or thixotropic agents. In comparison with the use of alkaline accelerators, an essential reduction in the setting time and a faster development of high compressive strengths is achieved by the accelerators of the present invention. In comparison with commercially available alkali-free accelerators solid precipitates of aluminum salts and thereby generated plugging up of the spray nozzles is avoided and the corrosion at the spraying devices is eliminated. Said advantages result in a great economic advantage due to less maintenance needed for the devices and less interruptions of work.

  • Patent number: 6485550
    Abstract: A self-sacrifice type metal corrosion inhibitor is prepared by dispersing one or more kinds of metal powder having a greater ionization tendency than that of a metal to be treated and a water-insoluble thermoplastic resin powder in water containing a water-soluble anticorrosion agent, a surface-active agent and a thickener to from a treatment solution. The treatment solution is applied to the surface of the metal to be treated, which is heated to melt the thermoplastic resin powder and form a thermoplastic resin layer fixed to the surface of the metal. It forms a metal corrosion-inhibiting layer fixed to the surface through the thermoplastic resin, which acts as an adhesive layer.

  • Patent number: 6485549
    Abstract: A corrosion resistant coating to protect metallic and polymeric composite surfaces from corrosion and water promoted deterioration that is environmentally safe and non-toxic and is applied in one coat without the use of a primer is provided. The coating comprises a tough, flexible polyurethane binder and a corrosion inhibiting pigment selected from the group consisting of zinc hydroxy phosphite, zinc phosphate, calcium ion-exchanged silica, calcium strontium zinc phosphosilicate. The coating is effective in protecting both aluminum and steel surfaces against corrosion in salt spray environments and in protecting polymeric composite materials such as ablative coatings used in aerospace against deterioration after exposure to water.

  • Patent number: 6479103
    Abstract: Conductive and weldable anti-corrosive compositions based on (blocked) polyurethane resins, epoxy resins, together with curing agents containing nitrogen and conductive extenders are suitable for coating metal surfaces, in particular sheet steel in the coil coating process. These compositions are distinguished by a low stoving temperature, a distinct reduction in white rust on galvanized sheet steel in the salt spray test and by an improvement in the adhesion of the organic coating on the metallic substrate. These coatings furthermore also achieve adequate corrosion protection with a thin chromium coating, preferably also in Cr-free pretreatment processes. Sheet metal coated in this manner may be spot welded using any conventional processes.

  • Patent number: 6478860
    Abstract: A highly effective and storage stable conditioning treatment for metal surfaces prior to phosphating them is a suspension in water containing solid miorosize particles of at least one phosphate of a divalent or trivalent metal and an accelerant selected from the group consisting of sacoharides and their derivatives thereof, orthophosphoric acid, condensed phosphoric acids, organophosphonic acids, and polymers of vinyl acetate and/or carboxylic acid. 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.

  • Publication number: 20020124768
    Abstract: A composition and process are described which are useful in treating metal surfaces, which composition comprises an oxidizer, an acid, a corrosion inhibitor, an organic nitro compound and, optionally, a benzotriazole with an electron withdrawing group in the I-position which electron withdrawing group is a stronger electron withdrawer than a hydrogen group, optionally, a source of adhesion enhancing species selected from the group consisting of molybdates, tungstates, tantalates, niobates, vanadates, isopoly or heteropoly acids of molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, niobium, vanadium, and combinations of any of the foregoing and optionally but preferably a source of halide ions. The composition and process are useful in increasing the adhesion of metal surfaces to polymeric substances and in preserving said adhesion through temperature variation.
