Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cleaning and passivating treatments for metals. More particularly, the present invention relates to cleaning and passivating treatments for metals which are essentially free of amines, alkanolamines, and phosphates.
  • the aqueous treatments of the present invention comprise amphoteric surfactants which were found to provide an excellent passivating film on ferrous surfaces.
  • the amphoteric surfactants of the present invention are caprylic acid derivatives of imidazoline compounds.
  • In process cleaners are employed in the metal treatment industry to clean and passivate a metal surface. These types of aqueous cleaners are typically based on organic rust-proofing or passivating agents such as combinations of alkanolamines and fatty acids, surfactants, anti-foam agents and/or phosphonates and possibly biocides and builders. In order to passivate a metal surface to prevent rusting during process breaks and storage, appropriate additives are used. Cleaning and passivating agents which inhibit the corrosion of ferrous metal surfaces contain for example alkali nitrites, alkanolamines, soaps and benzoates.
  • Clean and passivate treatments are typically employed in applications which require good cleaning and temporary metal passivation. Treated parts may need to remain rust-free, while exposed in the manufacturing plant for from several hours up to 30 days. In order to maintain their rust prevention ability, these cleaners are not rinsed.
  • Current commercial cleaners typically employ alkanolamines such as monoethanolamine, diethanolamine or triethanolamine as a passivating agent for ferrous surfaces. The alkanolamine component inhibits flash rusting of ferrous iron parts during line stops or storage.
  • Typical cleaners also will include surfactants such as glycol ether compounds and phosphonate compounds which aid in cleaning of the parts.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,578,208 which issued to Geke et al. discloses a cleaning and/or passivating composition and process which employs a phosphoric acid ester, an alkanolamine and a surfactant and optionally builders, non-ferrous metal inhibitors and biocides.
  • the present inventors discovered that a specific class of amphoteric surfactants provides excellent passivation of ferrous metals when substituted for alkanolamines.
  • the use of amphoteric surfactants in accordance with the present invention obviates the need for amines, alkanolamines, phosphates and other currently environmentally undesirable materials in clean and passivate formulations.
  • the inventors found that caprylic acid derivatives of imidazoline compounds provide efficacious passivation of ferrous metal surfaces.
  • the treatment solution of the present invention is substantially free of amines, alkanolamines, and phosphates. By substantially free, it is meant that these materials are not intentionally added as active components of the treatment solution.
  • the preferred treatment solution also includes small quantities of a borate ion and sodium molybdate. These compounds were found to allow reductions in the concentration of the amphoteric surfactant component without adversely affecting efficacy.
  • a defoamer such as a nonionic surfactant may be desirable in spray applications.
  • the present inventors discovered a clean and passivate treatment formulation for use in treating ferrous metal surfaces which is substantially free of amines, alkanolamines, and phosphates.
  • the clean and passivate formulation of the present invention is an aqueous solution of a caprylic acid derivative of an imidazoline.
  • the formulation preferably also includes a borate ion, sodium molybdate and a nonionic surfactant defoamer.
  • the inventors found that aqueous solutions of caprylic acid derivatives of an imidazoline provide effective rust protection.
  • amphoteric surfactants were used in combination with a borate ion and sodium molybdate significantly lower concentrations of the amphoteric surfactant could be employed with good rust inhibition results.
  • the borate ion may be provided by a borate salt or by boric acid.
  • the formulation of the present invention includes amphoteric surfactants which are caprylic acid derivatives of an imidazoline compound.
  • the surfactants are present in the treatment solution at concentrations of from about 0.05% up to about 5% by weight.
  • amphoteric surfactants include Monateric Cy-Na 50%, a sodium salt of 2-caprylic-1 (ethyl beta oxypropanoic acid) imidazoline; Monateric LF-100, a C5 ⁇ 9 methyl alkyl imidazoline; Monateric LF-Na 50, a sodium salt of LF-100 but 50% active; Monateric CYA-50, a capryl ampho-propionate; Monateric 1000, a capryl amphopropionate; and Miranol JAS concentrate which is a carboxylate derivative of capryl imidazoline.
  • Miranol is a trademark of Rhone-Poulenc and Monateric is a trademark of Mona Industries.
  • Amphopropionate is another name for imidazoline.
  • the preferred treatment concentration is about 5% by weight.
  • a caprylic acid derivative of an imidazoline is employed in the preferred combination which includes a borate ion (such as sodium metaborate octahydrate) and a molybdate ion (such as sodium molybdate)
  • the concentration of the surfactant can be decreased to about 0.1 to 0.3% by weight.
  • the preferred concentration of sodium molybdate is from about 0.1 to 0.5% by weight.
  • the preferred concentration of sodium metaborate octahydrate is from about 0.1 to 0.5% by weight.
  • the ratio of imidazoline to borate ion is from about 1:0.4 to 1.5 and the ratio of molybdate ion to imidazoline and borate ion is more than about 1:4
  • the clean and passivate formulation of the present invention is typically supplied in two concentrate packages which are diluted and mixed prior to application.
  • the first comprises the caprylic derivative of imidazoline compound; sodium molybdate and sodium metaborate octahydrate in deionized water.
  • the second package comprises a nonionic surfactant defoaming agent.
  • Efficacy of the treatment solution of the present invention was evaluated in a chip test evaluation.
  • the test involved placing 4 g of cast iron chips on a filter paper in a plastic weighing dish, adding 50 ml of the test solution, allowing the solution to stand for 24 hours.
  • the filter paper is rinsed with tap water and examined for rust spots. Refer to ASTM D4627-92.
  • compositions and methods of the present invention are demonstrated by the following examples which are provided as illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims.
  • amphoteric surfactants which are imidazoline compounds were tested in the above manner. Table I summarizes the results.
  • Table II shows that efficacious results are obtained at a relatively low treatment concentration with the preferred combination of the present invention.
  • Example 3 The presence of Macol LF 110 in the composition of Example 3 is included to inhibit foaming tendencies of the imidazoline surfactant. The presence of the defoamer does not effect the passivating activity of the imidazoline surfactant.
  • Table IV summarizes chip testing as described above of a treatment in accordance with the present invention with and without a nonionic polyoxyalkylated aliphatic ether defoamer (Macol LF 110 available from PPG Industries, Inc.). TABLE IV Composition (grams/100 grams) Chip Test Monateric LF Na-50 NaBO2.8H20 Sodium Molybdate Water Macol LF 110 1. 0.075 0.37 0.075 99.48 ----- no rust spots 2. 0.075 0.37 0.075 99.44 0.04 no rust spots 3. 0.10 0.50 0.10 99.30 ----- no rust spots 4. 0.10 0.50 0.10 99.26 0.04 no rust spots
  • the treatment solution of the present invention is preferably supplied as a concentrate which is diluted with deionized water to form a working bath.
  • a preferred concentrate comprises 12.5% sodium metaborate octahydrate, 2.5% sodium molybdate, 5.0% Monateric LF-Na 50 and 80% deionized water.
  • the Macol LF 110 defoamer is supplied separately.
  • a 4% v/v dilution of the preferred concentrate with 0.04% v/v of Macol LF 110 results in the treatment solution described in Example 3. This preferred treatment solution has been found to be effective when diluted with DI, soft or hard water.
