Abstract

Abstract A corrosion inhibited sodium and calcium chloride composition preferably in granular form, which is uniformly coated with a minute to minor quantity of an inhibitor comprising chiefly superphosphate and a minor amount of magnesium oxide. There is also disclosed a method for inhibiting corrosion of sodium and calcium chloride which comprises supplying to the metal surface which is exposed to corrosive attack by sodium and calcium chloride, a minute quantity of an inhibitor comprising chiefly superphosphate and a minor amount of magnesium oxide. The magnesium oxide functions to cement the inhibitor as a tenacious coating on the salt granules, and also to enhance the effectiveness of the phosphate corrosion inhibition.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 79 words
The method of inhibiting the corrosion of metal surfaces by brines of salts selected from the group consisting of sodium and calcium chlorides which comprises: a. incorporating in said brines an inhibitor mixture consisting essentially of magnesium oxide and superphosphate in weight proportions from 0.1 part magnesium oxide per part superphosphate, in a weight amount of 1 part inhibitor mixture per 100 to 400 parts of said salt, sufficient to inhibit the corrosion of said brines on metal surfaces.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 79 words
The method of inhibiting the corrosion of metal surfaces by brines of salts selected from the group consisting of sodium and calcium chlorides which comprises: a. incorporating in said brines an inhibitor mixture consisting essentially of magnesium oxide and superphosphate in weight proportions from 0.1 part magnesium oxide per part superphosphate, in a weight amount of 1 part inhibitor mixture per 100 to 400 parts of said salt, sufficient to inhibit the corrosion of said brines on metal surfaces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said inhibitor is present in an amount from one part per 175 to about 250 parts of said salt.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said inhibitor is present in an amount from one part per 200 parts of said salt.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 33 words
The method of claim 1 including the step of dispersing said inhibitor composition in said brines in a sufficient quantity to provide sufficient superphosphate to form a passivating film on said metal surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 38 words
The method of claim 4 as applied to the prevention of corrosion wherein said metal surfaces are the metal surfaces of vehicles exposed to calcium chloride brines formed from calcium chloride applied to road surfaces as a cover.
