  • Publication number: 20120286197
    Abstract: This invention covers formulation providing protection against corrosion in both the liquid and vapor phase. Such formulations are used in applications where engine parts or fuel cell systems are subjected to a “running-in” or “hot test” prior to final assembly or storage. The invention includes a concentrate as well as a dilute solution. The synergistic combination of inorganic ammonium derivatives in combination with monocarboxylic or dicarboxylic acids and a silicate dramatically increases the period of protection for both ferrous and aluminum alloys. This enables storage for a longer period when the engine parts are shipped or stored prior to assembling.

  • Patent number: 6399021
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for inhibiting the corrosion of ferrous and other metals by passivating the metals. The system includes novel buffered compositions which may be applied to metal products, and novel combinations thereof with metals, for preventing or retarding corrosion, as well as methods for applying the buffered compositions to metal products, such that corrosion protection of the products is achieved. The methods include an in-situ application to existing structures with metal reinforcement as well as applications to metal products during manufacture. Generally, the compositions may be in various forms and comprise one or more layers, at least one of which includes a water repellent but water vapor permeable carrier component and one or more pH buffer components. The buffer is selected to produce a passivating pH at the surface of the metal.

  • Publication number: 20010024729
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to the forming mineralized coatings on metal surfaces and to methods of forming such coatings. The coating can include a wide range of compounds and normally at least a portion of the coating corresponds to an amorphous phase. The coating and method are particularly usefull in providing a corrosion resistant coating or film upon a metallic surface. This aspect of the disclosure involves the formation of a corrosion resistant “mineralized” layer of tailored composition upon a metal substrate.

  • Patent number: 6294262
    Abstract: Disclosed is a composition and a process for anticorrosive treatment of the surface of non-ferrous metal. The composition is obtainable by treating an aqueous solution of CrO3 and an inorganic acid with phosphorous acid as a reducing agent until substantially 100% of hexavalent chromium contained in the starting solution is reduced.

  • Patent number: 6194033
    Abstract: Disclosed is a rust-preventive composition comprising (A) an aromatic compound i) containing a group selected from the group consisting of an —N═N— group, a >C═N— group, a >C═O group and an —N═O group and ii) having an absorption band in a visible region of from 530 nm to 750 nm; (B) a colloidal silica; (C) a film-forming polymeric compound containing in one molecule a group selected from the group consisting of an —OH group and a —COOH group; and (D) an organic solvent. This composition, having been coated on metal surfaces, provides a sufficient corrosion resistance without making any chromating treatment.

  • Patent number: 6174461
    Abstract: A concrete sealer material is provided containing a corrosion inhibitor which is free to migrate upon leeching from the concrete sealer. The inhibitor retards the rate of corrosion of reinforcements contained within the concrete, including metallic mesh, grid, rebar, and other metallic articles utilized for reinforcement. The sealer material is preferably a film forming component of silicate or silane modified siloxanes. The corrosion inhibitor is preferably an amine salt, an amino alcohol, alkalized salt of glucoheptonates, or, calcium nitrite and mixtures thereof. A compatibility enhancer of an aminoalkyl silane can be added to the blend.
