Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure:
A water-soluble film-forming rust preventive composition prepared by modifying, through mixing with an alkaline solution, a homopolymer of a hydrocarbon having a double bond or bonds in the molecule and selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acids and anhydrides, and/or a copolymer of the said hydrocarbon and an olefinic hydrocarbon having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms per molecule.

Description

This invention relates to improvements in a water-soluble film-forming rust preventive composition for use in temporary protection of metal surfaces, particularly of iron and steel products.
For the temporary rust prevention of such products oil-film type anticorrosive materials are in wide use.
The oil-film types maintain the rust preventive effect forrelatively long periods of time, but are known to have shortcomings. For example, when their temporary coated films are to be removed, they require (a~ degreasing and washing with an alkali cleaner, solvent, etc., (b) an after~treatment -of the waste liquor drained from the washing process, and (c) ;many man-hours and a high equipment cost for those purposes.
As attempts to overcome those shortcomings and provide improvements, a water-soluble film-forming rust preventive material and soft-film type water-soluble antirust composition have already been proposed.
Their coated films continue to have the rust inhibitive effect for long and can be simply removed by washing with water -20 after they have fulfilled their purpose of temporary rust prevention. With these advantages they have been applied to land and marine tanks and other equipments and have successfully rationalized the rust prevention andcontrol of those structures.
Still, the above-mentioned rust preventive material and composition have problems yet to be solved which make them practically useless for some types of tanks and apparatuses.
~;Among the problems in common are (i) lack of moisture ~ .

.

resistance and consequent so-Ltening of the coated films in summer or highly humid environmen-ts, (ii) necessity of hea-ting and liquefying prior to coating the materials which are soft solids at ordinary -temperature, and (iii) such high viscosity upon melting that the materials require an airless spraying machine or other special equipment for coating.
The present invention has been perfected with the view to settling those problems and is directed to a water-soluble film-forming rust preventive composition of great practical value which is in the form of an appropriately viscous liquid at ordinary temperature and applicable by a common air spraying machine ~o form a coated film~ which film is highly resistant to m~isture and capable of inhibiting rust for an extended period of time and is readily removed~ after the temporary use as such, by a treatment with water at ordinary temperature.
According to the invention~ the water-soluble film-forming rust preventive composition is prepared by modifying~
through mixing with an alkaline solution~ a homopolymer of hydrocarbon having a double bond or bonds in the molecule and selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acids and anhydrides, and/or a copolymer of the said hydrocarbon and an olefinic hydrocarbon having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms per molecule.
The monomer, which may be regarded as an intermediate product in the present invention, is either a homopolymer of a monomer~ i.e.~ one of the hydrocarbons to be mentionecl later~ or a copolymer of the hydrocarbon and an olefinic hydrocarbon having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms per molecule~

.

desir~bly with a polymerization degree between about 300 and about 3000. If the polymerization degree is very low, the rust preventive composition of the invention will have a correspondingly low film-forming ability, and if the degree is excessively high the composition will become so viscous that it will pose problems in coatability as is the case with the prior art compositions. Suitable hydrocarbons for use as monomers in accordance with the invention are carboxylic acids or anhydrides having double bonds in the molecules.
The numbers of such double bonds and carboxyl groups are not critical7 but one or more each will be satisfactory. Examples of such hydrocarbons include, but not limited to, acrylic acid~ methacrylic acid~ cinnamic acid, maleic acid~
maleic anhydride, crotonic acidg allylacetic acid, allylpropionic -acid, l-carboxy-l-ethyl ethylene, l-carboxy-l-propyl ethylene, ethylacrylic acid, propylacrylic acid~ butylacrylic acid, ethylmaleic acid~ and methylmaleic acid.
The olefinic hydrocarbon to form a copolymer with such a carboxylic acid or anhydride is chosen from the hydrocarbons~
such as ethylen~ propylene~ butylene~ amyIene~ and hexylene~
having rom 2 to 6 carbon atoms in the molecule. An olefinic hydrocarbon with 7 or more carbon atoms will not only impart excessive viscosity to the resulting rust preventive composi-tion but also have other undesirable effects upon the use o the composition.
In synthesizing the homopolymer and copolymer rom the hydrocarbons7 the usual polymerization reaction may be used.
In any case, the homopolymer, copolymer~ or their mixture - thus obtained alone will not be able -to form a water-soluble . . .

rust preventive -film. The polymer or polymeric mixture will be able to do so only when it is modified with a solution of alkali, e.g., in water.
When the polymer is mixed in an aqueous solution or the like of an alkali metal salt, e~g.~ sodium hydroxide, and the mixture is treated by heating at a suitable temperature~
e.g.~ in the neighborhood of 70C~ the product will be a ~` viscous liquid at ordinary -temperature. This mixture will work as a water-soluble film-forming rust preventive composi-tion according to the invention.
Exactly what change the polymer does undergo upon the modifying treatment is to be clarified yet~ but it is presumed that at least a part or whole of the carboxyl groups in the polymer produces a carboxylate.
The alkaline agent required for the modification is not limited to the above-mentioned sodium hydroxide. Other alkali metal salts9 such as lithium hydroxide and sodium carbonate, alkali earbh metal salts~ such as magnesium oxalate3 calcium hydroxide~ and barium carbonate, and ammonia may be used as well. Aside from these inorganic alkaline agents, organic ones, such as ethanolamine and hexylamine~ are useful) too.
The water-soluble film-forming rust preventive composi-tion obtained in accordance with the invention occurs as a viscous liquid at ordinary temperature which~ lmlike the conventional compositions of the character, requires no pre-heating to liquid form before application on metal surfaces as of iron and steel products. It may be coated by ordinary air sprayin~ machines as well as by airless spraying equipment~
to form fine resinous coated films on the metal surfaces.

These resinous films are thin but capable of inhibiting corrosion ~or long periods of time. Moreover, they are moisture-proof as compared with the conventional coated films, and have no possibility of softening in summer or under high humidity conditions. On the contrary, they exhibit a drying tendency and are able to isolate and protect the metal surfaces from corrosive atmospheres. After having served the purpose of temporary rust prevention, the coated films can be easily removed from the metal surfaces by simple immersion in or washing with water at ordinary temperature.
For added corrosion resistance, the water-soluble film~
- forming rust preventive composition of the invention may contain a small percentage of a known rust inhibitor or inhi-bitors.
The viscous mixture may thus contain one or more inhibi-tors selected from among sodium nitrite7 sodium phosphate, sodium borate, triethanolamine, dicyclohexylamine nitr~te~ and petroleum sulfonate. Such a rust inhibitor, when mixed in the composition and applied on a metal surface will be secured thereto by molecular adsorption or will be passivated thereon~ thus permitting the coated film to display an e~cellent antirust effect for an extended period of time as ~ ~ compared with the film free of the inhibitor.
; The invention is illustrated by the following examples.Specimens (l), (2), and (3) of three embodiments of the water-soluble film-forming rust preventive composition of the invention were prepared in conformity with the compounding recipe~ ~iven in the left column of Table 1. An exemplary procedure for preparation is as follows. First~ a reaction .

vessel is filled with water, and potassium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide are charged into the vessel. The mixture is heated to 70C~ and a maleic acid-butylene copolymer is added, and all are thoroughly mixed. The mixture will then become transparent or semitransparent. This is the specimen (1). The specimen (2) may be prepared generally in accordance with the above-described procedure. The specimen (3) was obtained by adding sodium nitrite and trie-thanolamine to the mixture o~' the specimen (~) when the latter became transparent or semitransparent.

The specimens (1), (2), and (3) of water-soluble film-forming rust preventive composition prepared in the manner described were applied by air spraying machines on pieces of soft polished steel sheet (SPC-C)~ 150 mm long, 70 mm wide, and 3 mm thick~ and were dried -thereon. The test pieces were suspended in outdoor shed-storage exposure testers for corrosion test for 80 days. The testers were open to the atmosphere but the test pieces therein were kept from rain drops.
~- The results were as given in the rightmost column of Table 1. The tes-t pieces coated with the specimens (1)~ (2), ` and (3) did not rust at all.
During the test period none of the coated films softened.
` 15 After the test the films came off completely from the metal surfaces upon immersion in water at ordinary temperature for about 10 minutes.
For comparison purposes, three different types of ; commercially available slushing compounds were used and tested ~ 20 for corrosion resistance in the same way as above described.
- As can be seen from Table 2 summarizing the results~ the test pieces coated with specimens (4) and (5) rusted but the test piece with a specimen (6) did not.
Following the test the coated films were removed from the test pieces. ~or the removal -the films of the specimens
(4) and (5) requirecl about 20 minutes of immersion in a bath of heated alkali degreaser and subsequent washing with water.
To remove the film of the specimen (6) the procedure just ; described had to be repeatecl twice.

Specimens (1), (2), and (3j of three embodiments of the water-soluble film-forming rust preventive composition prepared from the ingredients shown in Table 1 were used to form antirust films on condenser tube plates of a marine power plant~ each measuring ~.2 meters by 5.0 meters.
Each tube plate was cleaned by a shot blast and one of the specimens was applied by means o-f an airless spraying machine on the metal surface to a film thickness of about 60 microns.
The plant cons-truction was carried out indoors but open to the atmosphere, and welding and other associated operations were performed around those tube plates. In brief~ the environmsnt was more corrosive than those for ordinary tanks.
After the completion of fabrication and assembly of the condenser (which had taken about three months), -the tube plate surfaces were inspected. The -tube plates coated with the specimens (1) and (2) showed slight, practically negligible rust~ an~ the tube plats wi-th the specimen (3)had no -trace of rust.
