Abstract
Abstract Compounds having improved properties of inhibiting the precipitation of metal ions when used in threshold amounts have been made which are derivatives of ammonia or di- or polyamines in which the amine hydrogens have been substituted with both methylenephosphonic acid groups or their salts and hydroxypropyl quaternaryammonium halide groups. Thus, ammonia can have two hydrogens replaced with methylenephosphonic groups while the third is replaced with a hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride group; and three hydrogens of ethylenediamine can be replaced with methylenephosphonic groups, the fourth being replaced with a hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride group.

Compounds having the formula ##STR3## wherein the A, B, C and D substituents are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methylenephosphonic acid or salt thereof and 2-hydroxy-3(trialkylammonium halide)propyl wherein each alkyl has from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, n is 0 to 15, and wherein said substituents include at least one methylenephosphonic acid group, or salt thereof, and at least one 2-hydroxy-3(trialkylammonium halide)propyl group.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
66 words
Compounds having the formula ##STR3## wherein the A, B, C and D substituents are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methylenephosphonic acid or salt thereof and 2-hydroxy-3(trialkylammonium halide)propyl wherein each alkyl has from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, n is 0 to 15, and wherein said substituents include at least one methylenephosphonic acid group, or salt thereof, and at least one 2-hydroxy-3(trialkylammonium halide)propyl group.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
