Abstract

Abstract A method of inhibiting corrosion of metals comprising applying to a metal surface in an effective concentration a saturated aliphatic triamine of 9 carbon atoms having at each terminal position a primary amino group and being branched in the 4-position of the main chain Such specific triamines include 1,3,6-triaminomethylhexane and 1,2,3-triaminoethylpropane. Addition products and condensation products derived from these organic triamines are also effective. The present anti-corrosive agents show a remarkable rust preventive effect to metals even when used in a small amount and are non-toxic.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 96 words
A method of inhibiting corrosion of metal surfaces comprising applying to a metal surface a solution or dispersion containing an effective concentration of at least one condensation product of a saturated aliphatic triamine of 9 carbon atoms having a main chain which is branched at the 4-position and having a primary amino group at each carbon atom in a terminal position and at least one member selected from the group consisting of saturated fatty acids, aliphatic hydroxycarboxylic acids, aromatic carboxylic acids, aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acids, natural oil fatty acids, polymers of unsaturated carboxylic acids and amino acids.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 96 words
A method of inhibiting corrosion of metal surfaces comprising applying to a metal surface a solution or dispersion containing an effective concentration of at least one condensation product of a saturated aliphatic triamine of 9 carbon atoms having a main chain which is branched at the 4-position and having a primary amino group at each carbon atom in a terminal position and at least one member selected from the group consisting of saturated fatty acids, aliphatic hydroxycarboxylic acids, aromatic carboxylic acids, aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acids, natural oil fatty acids, polymers of unsaturated carboxylic acids and amino acids.
Claim 3
