ANTI-CORROSION COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATMENTS

  METAL FRONTS INCLUDED IN MORTAR AND CONCRETE

  The subject of the present invention is an anti-corrosion composition intended for the treatment of reinforcing metal reinforcement of mortars and concrete, constituted by a basic anti-corrosion combination to which is added a specific additive for the preventive treatments and another specific additive for curative treatments.

  Corrosion of reinforcing metal reinforcement of mortars and concretes is a serious problem that has long been of concern to specialists and is particularly present in mountain regions where melt salts (calcium chloride) are used during the winter; or around the sea where there is a saline atmosphere.

  Two distinct cases must be taken into consideration: - the preventive anti-corrosion treatment, which consists in protecting the rebars against the installation and development of rust phenomena leading to corrosion damage.

  This treatment is applied to fresh materials during their preparation.

  If at the time of their introduction these materials have good rheological characteristics (fluidity, spreading, plasticity) they will better coat the metal frames; these in alkaline medium will be better protected. A fortiori if a basic anticorrosive combination is combined with a rheology additive additive itself having a good anti-rust propensity.

  the curative anti-corrosion treatment which consists of interventions on old mortars or concretes, which present points of corrosion, most often due to the appearance of micro-cracks in the materials, and which serve as vectors for the oxygen and other agents giving rise to rust, then to the development of corrosion phenomena. It is therefore necessary to reduce or even eliminate them, and to ensure good protection against new oxidative aggressions.

  The intervention on hardened old materials requires a good control of penetration, diffusion, migration and the path of the active solution through the micro-channels, to the site to be treated where there is corrosion.

  It has been found that both of these problems can be solved by combining the same basic anti-corrosion combination with specific additives depending on whether preventive treatment or curative treatment is being sought.

  The articulation of the invention is therefore as follows: a basic anti-corrosion composition to which is associated: a rheology agent additive for the preventive treatments an additive wetting agent spreading, diffusion, migration for curative treatments

DESCRIPTION

  A. Basic anti-corrosion combination al. The use of reducing agents such as Sodium Nitrite as anti-corrosion agent for steels has been well known for a long time.

  In the context of the present invention, it has been found that the anti-rust properties of Sodium Nitrite solutions are exacerbated and very substantially improved when they contain, together with nitrite, one or more complexing agents, which are polyfunctional active against metal ions, in the form of amine salts, in particular, inter alia, salts of dimethyl amino ethanol, ethyl hexylamine, cyclohexylamine, morpholine, TEA, amino-methylene-phosphonic acid 1-hydroxy-ethylene-1,1-diphosphonic acid, hexamethylene-diamine tetra (methylphosphonic acid), diethylene triamine penta (methylphosphonic acid), and in particular ethylene diamine tetra ( methyl phosphonic):

  ## STR2 ##

O O

  And also: Nitrilotriacetic acid: N- (CH2-COOH) 3 in the form of amine salt, in particular from those indicated above.

  In general, the percentage of the complexing agent is between 3 and 10%, expressed as active material, relative to sodium nitrite.

  This synergistic effect results in a significant increase in anti-rusting power. Thus, comparative tests on metal fibers have shown that an aqueous solution containing 99.3% water and 0.65% sodium nitrite + 0.05% of the dimethyl amino ethanol salt of ethylene diamine tetra (methyl phosphonic acid) anti-rust virtually equivalent to an aqueous solution of 98.8% water and 1.2% sodium nitrite.

  a2. The passivation of steels by phosphoric acid and its derivatives is also well known for a long time.

  In the context of the invention, it has also been found that the combination of a phosphoric ester of general formula:

O

o P OH

RO RO

  (or R is an aliphatic or branched, hydrocarbon chain containing from four to eighteen carbon atoms, which chain may also be polyoxyethylenated, and comprise from three to nine units / EO in the form of an amine salt, in particular those indicated below. before at paragraph a1, and a polyfunctional complexing agent, phosphonate in the form of an amine salt and in particular the dimethylaminoethanol salt of ethylene tetra (methylphosphonic acid) with a 1 -0.1 ratio, had properties antirust 30 to 35% higher than that of the phosphoric ester alone, at the same dosages of use (1%).

  a3. In the context of the invention it has been found that if the two bases (a1-a2) described above are added, a film-forming bipolar solvent is added, their spreading is substantially improved, and a homogeneous continuous film is formed which is fixed on the metal surfaces, thus improving their rust protection.

  According to the invention, this film-forming solvent is constituted by dimethyl esters of succinic, glutaric, and adipic diacids used alone, or as a mixture, and in particular by a 20/60/20 mixture of: CH3-OOC-CH2-CH2 --- COO CH3 succinic acid methyl diesters CH3-OOC --- CH2-CH2-CH2 --- COO CH3 glutaric acid methyl diesters CH3-OOC --- CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-- -COO CH3 diesters methyl adipic acid whose distillation range is 195-225 C, and the surface tension, 35.5 dynes / cm.

  The basic anti-corrosion combinations claimed are composed of: - 60 to 75% of a reducing agent such as sodium nitrite - 20 to 10% of a polyfunctional complexing agent phosphonate amine salt - 20 to 15% of a bipolar film-forming solvent such as the methyl diester of a diacid The 60 to 75% of sodium nitrite can be replaced by 60 to 75% of an amine salt of a phosphoric ester, the other constituents remaining unchanged.

  On the other hand, the amine salts used according to the invention are obtained by leaving free an excess of amine. It maintains on the treatment site an alkaline amine atmosphere, having good anti-rust protection properties, especially with ethyl 2 hexylamine, and cyclohexylamine which form with water, always present, azeotropic.

  In anticorrosive, preventive and curative compositions, the level of amine left free is between 2 and 10%.

  B. Basic anti-corrosion additives to obtain the product for the preventive treatment These are products that improve the rheological characteristics of the fresh materials in order to obtain a better coating of the metal reinforcements.

  These adjuvants are anionic derivatives, dispersing, deflocculating, plasticizing and fluidizing surfactants which, according to the invention, are used in the form of amine salts, which gives them a propensity for the anti-rust effect, such as: Lignosulfonates of amines, and inter alia lignosulfonate triethanolamine, dimethyl amino ethanol, cyclohexylamine, or ethyl 2 hexylamine.

  Polynaphthalene sulphonate in the form of amine salt, in particular from those mentioned above.

  Polymelamine formol sulfonate of amines among others of those already indicated above.

  The level of these specific adjuvants used separately or in a mixture, in the anti-corrosive preventive solution is such that at the dosage of the use thereof, it corresponds to 0.15 to 0.5% (expressed as active ingredient) of adjuvant relative to the weight of the cement used.

  The anti-corrosion compositions for preventive treatments claimed include: - 30 to 40% of the base anti-corrosion combination - 70 to 60% of anionic surfactant derivative, in the form of an amine salt having properties, plasticizers, fluidifying against mortars and fresh concretes.

  c.1 Surfactants lowering surface and interfacial tensions.

  The importance of the wetting mechanisms and the spreading of an aqueous solution on the surface of a solid are known. These depend on the connection angle at the solid-liquid-air boundaries. The WASHBURN law gives the speed of penetration of a liquid into a capillary; while the DUPRE equation and the HARKiNS propositions make it possible to address the coefficients of spreading and adhesion tension.

  The knowledge of these physical phenomena, allows by the use of appropriate surfactants, to control the problems of diffusion, spreading and routing of the active anti-rust solutions, through micro-structures corroded hardened mortars 5o and concretes .

  According to the invention, the curative anti-corrosion formulations comprise at least one fluorocarbon surfactant, most often anionic. 5o

  These have exceptional surface properties which lead to lowering the surface tension of an aqueous solution at 0.1% o (0.1 per thousand) below 20 dynes / cm. These fluoro carbonaceous surfactants correspond to the following general formulas: F (CF 2 -CF 2) x linked to various groups such as: - CH 2 -CH 2 -SO 3 M -sulfonate - ethoxyl (CH 2 -CH 2 -O) xH - ethoxyl Phosphate (CH 2 -CH 2 -0) P- (OH), - carboxylate sulfide CH2-CH2-S-CH2-CH2-COOH

These two products also have a propensity for the anti-rust effect.

  The anti-corrosion compositions for claimed remedial treatments comprise: 95 to 99% of the base anti-corrosion combination; 5 to 1% of a fluoro carbonaceous surfactant in the form of an amine or lithium salt.

  C2. A polar solvent promoting the diffusion, the migration and the path through the micro-fissures of the materials of the anti-corrosive active solutions, to reach the sites where corrosion reigns.

  According to the invention, use will be made of Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) CH 3 CH 3 S o which has a vapor pressure at 20 C of 0.417 m / m H 2 O 2, and Dimethylformamide CH 3 NHCO CH 3 whose surface tension at 25 ° C. is 35 dynes / cm Or, - Ethyl Lactate CH3 CH COO CH2 - CH3 1
