Abstract
Abstract Anti-crevice corrosion sealants for metals obtained by adding a mixture of zinc powder and dicyclohexylammonium nitrite powder bound by a vinyl silane coupling agent to a film-forming polystyrene dissolved in a solvent can restrain crevice corrosion occurring at crevices or jointed interior surfaces by filling the sealants into a fine crevice formed between the elements of metal machinery and tools or onto the jointed interior surface of the elements.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
An anti-crevice corrosion sealant for metals comprising: (a) 5 to 30% by weight of a material comprising 4 to 15 parts by weight of a mixed powder consisting of 99 to 80% by weight of zinc powder, 1 to 20% by weight of dicyclohexylammonium nitrite powder, and 1 part by weight of a vinyl silane coupling agent, and (b) 95 to 70% by weight of a film-forming polystyrene solution consisting of 5 to 40% by weight of a film-forming polystyrene and 95 to 60% by weight of ethyl acetate, whereby when said anti-crevice corrosion sealant is applied to a crevice, the particles of the zinc powder are encapsulated by polystyrene film, which film has micro-cracks formed therein as the solvent for the polystyrene dries up.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
An anti-crevice corrosion sealant for metals comprising: (a) 5 to 30% by weight of a material comprising 4 to 15 parts by weight of a mixed powder consisting of 99 to 80% by weight of zinc powder, 1 to 20% by weight of dicyclohexylammonium nitrite powder, and 1 part by weight of a vinyl silane coupling agent, and (b) 95 to 70% by weight of a film-forming polystyrene solution consisting of 5 to 40% by weight of a film-forming polystyrene and 95 to 60% by weight of ethyl acetate, whereby when said anti-crevice corrosion sealant is applied to a crevice, the particles of the zinc powder are encapsulated by polystyrene film, which film has micro-cracks formed therein as the solvent for the polystyrene dries up.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
An anti-crevice corrosion sealant according to claim 1, wherein the zinc powder has a particle size with the range of 0.001 to 0.1 mm.
