    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and compositions useful for inhibiting corrosion of a corrodible metal resulting from contact of water and air with the metal. In this method, a stannous salt and a hydrocarbyl substituted succinimide of a polyethylene polyamine are added to the water in minor amounts and cooperatively reduce corrosion of the metal to a substantially zero rate. While the amount of each agent for an effective inhibition is minor, say in the range of from about 0.1 to 100 ppm, a relatively concentrated solution is required for addition to the water. Suitable solvent media include the lower alkanols and mixture thereof with or without added water. Isopropanol is preferred. The solvent component of the compositions also varies depending upon the particular imide and/or salt component employed and the concentration desired.

  • Patent number: 4992209
    Abstract: The method of adding to a nitrite corrosion inhibitor composition an effective amount of a bromosulfamate which is stable with respect to the nitrite corrosion inhibitor and provides an effective biocide, bactericide and fungicide. The composition using this bromosulfamate component to nitrite is utilized at about 0.1 to 10 ppm (residual) with an optimum of about 0.2 ppm of bromosulfamate. The bromosulfamate composition comprises reacting together sodium bromide (NaBr), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) or chlorine, and sodium sulfamate (NaSO.sub.3 NH.sub.2) or sulfamic acid, and using the product "fresh" in treating the nitrite solution.

  • Patent number: 4983321
    Abstract: A corrosion-preventing soyabean-glycerol alkyd resin is preprared by combng soyabean oil and glycerol in a reaction kettle, and after heating to about 400.degree. F., fused litharge is loaded. The temperature is then increased to about 440.degree. F. and held until a clear solution is formed. Phthalic anhydride is then loaded and heat gained cautiously to about 450.degree. F. Butylphenol resin is loaded. Then China wood oil is loaded. A first carbon dioxide blow is commenced. Then a second carbon dioxide blow is initiated. The mixture is then cooled to about 425.degree. F. and held. The mixture is dropped into xylene and thinned with Varnish Makers' and Painter's Naptha (petroleum thinner) prior to use with the barium metaborate corrosion preventer compound of this invention which was developed to replace chromium which has reduced availability due to exportation restrictions from the major supplier country.

  • Patent number: 4968231
    Abstract: In order to produce oil-free compressed air with a rotary compressor while avoiding the costs involved by a liquid-free compressor, a rotary compressor, especially a single screw rotary compressor is injected with water in which borate, preferably potassium borate is dissolved. This prevents corrosion at no additional cost while improving the bacterial purity of the air produced.

  • Patent number: 4963290
    Abstract: This invention relates to corrosion inhibitors of steels, particularly carbon steels or low-alloy steels. They are ternary mixtures with synergetic action containing at least one strong base, at least one molybdate and at least one phosphate. This invention also relates to aqueous compositions of alkali metal halide containing said inhibitors. Such compositions are advantageously used as working fluid in high temperature absorption heat pump systems.

  • Patent number: 4926449
    Abstract: A potassium inhibitive blend and corrosion protection method for closed cooling water systems. The closed cooling system circulates about 35 to 40 gallons of corrosion inhibitor per 10,000 gallons of circulating water. The corrosion inhibitor contains potassium molybdate, potassium nitrite, and potassium borate in an aqueous solution so that if leakage of the circulated water occurs, the leaked corrosion inhibitive liquid does not cause dangerous radiation in any amounts dangerous to the environment. The potassium molybdate and potassium nitrate each constitute about 12% of the aqueous solution. Potassium based borate at 2 to 2.5%, ethylene glycol preferably at about 10%, and benzotriazole or tolyltriazole of about 0.4% with up to 1% polymeric scale suppressant are also included in the corrosion inhibitive blend.
