A corrosion inhibitor can include (a) an inorganic alkali and/or alkaline earth metal compound and (b) an aldehyde and/or ketone component comprising at least one aromatic ring comprising a ketone and/or aldehyde group and at least one pendant group represented by OR.sup.1. Each R.sup.1 is independently selected from hydrogen, an alkyl group, or an aryl group. The coating composition can be used in a multi-layer coating with additional coating layers. Methods of preparing coating compositions with corrosion inhibitors and substrates at least partially coating with such compositions are also included.

An organic blend chemical additive comprising more than 50 wt. % organic solvent (e.g. methanol and/or ethylene glycol), less than 10 wt. % water, a nitrate salt, a maleic acid copolymer, and optionally an imidazoline may be delivered to a production well through a conduit having a stainless steel and corrosion resistant metal alloy surface, such as a capillary string or an umbilical tubing, the organic blend chemical additive being shown to be useful in inhibiting localized corrosion of and improving the repassivation of the equipment or conduit.

Some metal surfaces are often unable to be contacted effectively with fluids containing hydrofluoric acid or acidic fluoride ions due to significant corrosion issues. Metal surfaces comprising titanium or a titanium alloy represent but one example. Corrosion inhibitor compositions comprising boric acid and other boron-containing compounds may at least partially suppress corrosion of titanium and titanium alloy surfaces. Methods for suppressing corrosion may comprise: introducing a treatment fluid comprising hydrofluoric acid or a hydrofluoric acid-generating compound to a subterranean formation; forming an at least partially spent treatment fluid in the subterranean formation; adding a corrosion inhibitor composition comprising a boron-containing compound to the subterranean formation, thereby forming an inhibited, at least partially spent treatment fluid in the subterranean formation; and contacting the inhibited, at least partially spent treatment fluid with a metal surface comprising titanium or a titanium alloy.

The present disclosure is directed to the methods for identifying a combined corrosion inhibitor formulation comprising at least a first and second corrosion inhibitor formulation for inhibiting corrosion in various substrates, for example in metal substrates. The present disclosure is also directed to compositions for inhibiting corrosion comprising a combined corrosion inhibitor formulation each independently selected from organic heterocyclic compounds and metal salts, metal anions, metal complexes, or any combinations thereof selected from rare earth, alkali earth and transition metals.

The invention relates to a method for zinc phosphating components so as to form layers, said components comprising surfaces made of steel with a high tolerance against aluminum dissolved in the zinc phosphating bath, wherein the precipitation of poorly soluble aluminum salts can be largely prevented. In the method, a process is used of activating the zinc surfaces by means of dispersions containing particulate hopeite, phosphophyllite, scholzite, and/or hureaulite, wherein the proportion of particulate phosphates in the activation process must be adapted to the quantity of free fluoride and dissolved aluminum in the zinc phosphation.

The invention relates to a method for zinc phosphating components comprising surfaces made of zinc in order to suppress the formation of insoluble phosphation constituents removably adhered to the zinc surfaces and thus further improve the adhesion of dip-paint coatings applied later. In the method, a process is used of activating the zinc surfaces by means of dispersions containing particulate hopeite, phosphophyllite, scholzite, and/or hureaulite, wherein the proportion of particulate phosphates in the activation process must be adapted to the quantity of free fluoride and dissolved silicon in the zinc phosphation.

The present invention relates to antifreeze/anticorrosive concentrates, to processes for production of such concentrates from superconcentrates, to aqueous coolant compositions made from these concentrates and to the use thereof.

A tire-enhancement product has a container comprising a dissolvable packaging material; and a solute encased in the container that is inert to the solute. The container is configured to be placed in an interior volume of a tire, to which solvent can be added. The container is configured to dissolve when placed in a predetermined solvent, and the solute is configured to mix with the solvent to form a tire-enhancement mixture.
