Abstract: Corrosion inhibited alcohol compositions can be prepared which are suitable for use as anti-freeze compositions in the cooling systems of internal combustion engines. The alcohol is selected from at least one of the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, propanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, propylene glycol and glycerol. The corrosion inhibitor comprises an effective amount of a conventional corrosion inhibitor selected from the group consisting of the alkali metal carbonates, borax, the alkali metal dichromates, the alkali metal silicates, phosphorous acid, phosphoric acid, an alkali metal tungstate, benzotriazole, tolyltriazole, an alkali metal salt of benzoic or toluic acid, an alkali metal salt of a phenol, an alkanolamine and an organo-silicone compound in addition to an alkanolamine phosphate and a heterocyclic nitrogen-containing compound. The phosphate is the reaction product of an alkanolamine and phosphoric acid.

Abstract: The waters used for cooling generally contain hard ions of the group consisting of calcium and magnesium ions concentration of from about 10 to 600 parts per million. Such waters also contain bicarbonate ions. When cooling waters are recirculated through a cooling tower, they are saturated with oxygen and tend to be corrosive and tend to promote formation of calciferous scale. Such propensities are inhibited by the injection of appropriate chemicals so that the inhibited water contains dispersants effective in dispersing incipient calcium compounds and inhibiting calciferous scale, so that the inhibited water contains a plurality of components forming a dynamic layer on metal surfaces protecting such metal from oxidation.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting the deposition of calcium phosphate scale from an aqueous system treated with a corrosion inhibitor formulation containing a phosphono-carboxylic acid and a polyphosphate comprises adding to the aqueous system a minor amount of hydrolyzed polymaleic anhydride having a molecular weight in the range of from 300 to 5000 as determined by calculation following osmometric measurement on the polymaleic anhydride before hydrolysis, or a water-soluble salt or a hydrolyzed copolymer of polymaleic anhydride.

Abstract: A filled insoluble polymer containing one or more corrosion inhibitors and a slightly water soluble polymer is utilized to automatically and continuously add a corrosion inhibitor to a coolant solution passing through a heat exchanger. The corrosion inhibitor is gradually leached from the filled polymer supplying inhibitor to the coolant to protect the metallic parts of the coolant system that are subject to corrosive conditions.

Abstract: A sterilization system preferably utilizing two baths in which articles to be sterilized are immersed into a first bath where the articles are conditioned and then into a second bath containing a sterilizing solution where they are sterilized. The ingredients for the sterilization system are stored in hermetically sealed, multicompartment pouches which are opened just prior to use to release and activate the system. The sterilization system utilizes a solution comprising 0.02 to 1% of hypochlorite, 1.4 to 20% of di(alkali metal) phosphate, 0.08% to 21% mono(alkali metal) phosphate, and 0.1 to 0.5% of nonionic surfactant with the proviso that the lower limit of di(alkali metal) phosphate is 4% when the amount of said hypochlorite is from 0.5 to 1%, said percentages being based on weight (in grams) per 100 ml. of solution. The sterilizing solution is highly efficacious while being non-corrosive and having a reduced toxicity and prolonged shelf life, and may be utilized by relatively untrained personnel.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process of inhibiting pitting corrosion which is characterized by the use of synergistic mixtures of organic anodic and cathodic corrosion inhibitors. These synergistic mixtures effectively inhibit pitting corrosion in highly oxygenated systems without the conventional use of heavy metals such as zinc (Zn) or chromium (Cr). This invention also relates to the use of alkoxysilyl alkylene polyamines as pitting corrosion inhibitors.

Abstract: A single-phase antifreeze or coolant concentrate is disclosed comprising a major proportion of at least one alcohol, at least one water-soluble silicate, and an organic basic pH buffer and corrosion inhibitor comprising at least one hydroxybenzoic acid. The concentrates can be used without dilution but are preferably used, upon dilution with water. The concentrates are generally diluted for use in with about 25 to about 90 percent by weight of water based upon the total weight of the concentrate. The alcohol is preferably ethylene glycol. The alcohol-based antifreeze and coolant compositions of the invention are effective in the protection against corrosion of all metals and alloys used in industrial processes and are especially effective when used to inhibit the corrosion of aluminum internal combustion engine and radiator components.
