Abstract
Abstract Water reducible coating compositions comprising: an oxidized slack wax, paraffin wax or petrolatum; a low molecular weight polyethylene, polybutene, or polypropylene; naphthenic or paraffinic oil; a salt of a sulfonic acid, a nitrate, a nitrite, a borate or an amine soap of a fatty acid; a mixture of mineral spirits and ethylene glycol monopropyl ether; an unsaturated fatty acid (preferably oleic acid) and a fugitive amine (preferably 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol); and water are disclosed which provides improved corrosion resistant coatings for ferrous alloys.

(70° C.) to 230° F. (110° C.); and a molecular weight of at least 1500; polybutene characterized as an isobutene polymer having an average molecular weight in the range of about 400-1900; and a polypropylene characterized as a hydrocarbyl having a molecular weight in the range of about 400-1900; (c) about 0.5 to 10% by weight of a wax modifier selected from the group consisting of naphthenic oil and paraffinic oil; (d) about 0.5 to about 10% by weight of a corrosion inhibitor selected from the group consisting of a nitrate, a nitrite, or a borate; (e) about 1 to 15% by weight of a processing aid comprising mineral spirits and ethylene glycol monopropyl ether; (f) About 0.5 to 15% by weight of a dual component anionic surfactant; and (g) about 30% to 80% by weight of water.
