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.

The present invention describes novel coolant concentrates and the production and use thereof.

A corrosion inhibition composition is disclosed comprising a zinc oxide, a zinc phosphate, a calcium silicate, an aluminum phosphate, a zinc calcium strontium aluminum orthophosphate silicate hydrate, a molybdate compound, a silicate compound, and a zinc phthalate compound.

Pitting corrosion of stainless steel occurs in solutions of organic acid, such as tartaric acid, in an electrolyte solution with methanol. However, methanolic solutions containing at least one organic halide and at least one organic hydroxyl-acid and some water provide reduced pitting corrosion of stainless steel. The organic hydroxyacid may be a hydroxy acid containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms with at least one hydroxyl group and at least one carboxylic acid group, in a non-limiting example, glycolic acid. The pH of the methanolic solution may range from about 3.5 to about 8.

An additive comprising glucaric acid and/or glucaric acid salt may be added to an aqueous system in an effective amount to remove rust from a corroded metallurgy and inhibit further rust formation and/or corrosion of the metallurgy within the aqueous system, and also to passivate any metallurgy within an aqueous system, wherein the additive may not contain a phosphorous compound or an iron activating agent. The aqueous system may be an aqueous stream, a hydrocarbon stream containing water, a cooling tower, a boiler, a cooling water system, and combinations thereof.

The invention comprises synergistic compositions of at least two metal carboxylates as corrosion inhibitors based on polycarboxylate anions and a variety of different cations. The inhibitors are designed to be added to film forming or other compositions to reduce the corrosion of the metal substrate on which the synergistic compositions are applied.

New compositions, for example, corrosion inhibited compositions, and the like compositions and new methods of using such compositions are disclosed. Such compositions may be liquid solutions, for example, substantially without solid material formation and/or crystal formation, and may include different concentrations of organic acid components and/or different combinations of organic acid components relative to previous compositions. The present compositions may be used as antifreeze coolant compositions or formulations, for example, in the cooling systems of internal combustion engines.

Disclosed are methods of using nitrogen-containing compounds as corrosion inhibitors. The present method is used to inhibit corrosion of a metal surface in contact with an aqueous system using 2-substituted imidazoles and 2-substituted benzimidazoles, and provides enhanced protection against corrosion of metals in the aqueous system. The method comprises the use of corrosion inhibitors that are generally resistant to halogen attack and provide good corrosion resistance in the presence of oxidizing halogen-based biocides. Formulations comprising 2-substituted imidazoles and 2-substituted benzimidazoles are also disclosed.

A method includes providing a workpiece with at least one surface having an anodized aluminum coating and a trivalent chromium sealant. The at least one surface of the workpiece is submerged in a post-treatment sealant solution for 0.5 to 20 minutes. The sealant composition consists essentially of a corrosion inhibitor formulation, a water soluble polymer, an organic complexing agent, and an oxidant. The corrosion inhibitor formulation is formulated from at least one anodic corrosion inhibitor compound, at least one cathodic corrosion inhibitor compound, or a combination thereof. A concentration of each of the corrosion inhibitor formulation, the water soluble polymer, the organic complexing agent, and the oxidant is each in a range of 1-50 mM.
