Abstract
Abstract An acid aqueous coating composition and concentrate of chromic acid and chromium phosphate derived from phosphoric acid resulting from the oxidation of hypophosphorous acid in reacting with the chromic acid. The chromic acid is present in a stoichiometrically equivalent amount from about one percent to about one hundred percent over that needed to oxidize hypophosphorous acid to phosphoric acid. The composition may also contain a non-foaming wetting agent and particulate silica.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
An acid, aqueous composition containing by weight dissolved in its water: chromic acid and chromium phosphate as derived from phosphoric acid resulting from the oxidation of hypophosphorous acid in reacting with the chromic acid which latter is present in a stoichiometrically equivalent amount from about one percent to about one hundred percent over that needed to oxidize hypophosphorous acid to phosphoric acid, from none to about 0.01% of a non-foaming to low foaming wetting agent inert to iron, steel, galvanized iron or steel, zinc, aluminum, copper and brass, to the acidity of the composition and to oxidation; from none to about seven percent of particulate silica of from about 4 to about 60 millimicrons particle size, and which composition is selected from: (i) a concentrate with its aforesaid dispersed total solids content being from about two percent to an amount below that at which the composition will gel under its storage conditions; and (ii) a metal treating bath having as its total dispersed solids content the amount thereof provided by from about two percent to about fifteen percent by volume of the aforesaid concentrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
184 words
An acid, aqueous composition containing by weight dissolved in its water: chromic acid and chromium phosphate as derived from phosphoric acid resulting from the oxidation of hypophosphorous acid in reacting with the chromic acid which latter is present in a stoichiometrically equivalent amount from about one percent to about one hundred percent over that needed to oxidize hypophosphorous acid to phosphoric acid, from none to about 0.01% of a non-foaming to low foaming wetting agent inert to iron, steel, galvanized iron or steel, zinc, aluminum, copper and brass, to the acidity of the composition and to oxidation; from none to about seven percent of particulate silica of from about 4 to about 60 millimicrons particle size, and which composition is selected from: (i) a concentrate with its aforesaid dispersed total solids content being from about two percent to an amount below that at which the composition will gel under its storage conditions; and (ii) a metal treating bath having as its total dispersed solids content the amount thereof provided by from about two percent to about fifteen percent by volume of the aforesaid concentrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
