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.
