White and canary dextrins are preferred in that British gums are brown in colour.
- White dextrins are preferably pregelatinised (made water soluble during manufacture), if necessary, to render them more readily mixed with other water soluble components.

- This composition was then contacted with an aluminum surface by dipping or spraying for a time from 30 to 60 seconds, after which time the surfaces treated were removed from contact with the treating composition, allowed to dry in the ambient atmosphere without rinsing, and then baked in a warm air oven at 88° C for 5 minutes to simulate commercial operating conditions.
- the surfaces thus prepared were painted with conventional paints.
- the treating composition is prepared in the same general manner as in Example 14, by making separate concentrates of the hydroxyl group containing polymer and polyacrylic acid components, mixing an appropriate amount of these concentrates with a larger volume of water, adding any additional components used, and finally adjusting to the final desired volume or mass by the addition of more water. These compositions are then applied to aluminum surfaces in the same manner as described for Example 14.

and
- (D') a component selected from the water-insoluble oxides, water-insoluble hydroxides, water-insoluble carbonates and/or water-insoluble elemental forms of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, boron, aluminium, silicon, germanium and/or tin; and
- (E') a component of water soluble oxides, carbonates and/or hydroxides of at least one of Ti, Zr, Hf, B, Al, Si, Ge and/or Sn.
(Protective coatings applied to metallic surfaces, particularly aluminium preferably are water insoluble and inhibit corrosion. However, metallic surfaces bearing a protective coating are often exposed to sodium ions later. It is believed that, upon exposure of some prior art coatings to sodium ions, the sodium ions often at least partially replace the aluminium in the formed coatings, much as in an ion-exchange resin; such replacement in turn causes the film coating to be water sensitive, by increasing its solubility in water.)
