Compositions comprising a sugar alkoxylate and processes for preparing said compositions are provided. The compositions can be used as a bio-film inhibitor, rheology modifier, emulsion breaker, and/or emulsion inverter. Additionally, the compositions can be used in methods of breaking and/or inverting an emulsion of water and oil.

Sugar/gluconoamide alkoxylate compositions and uses thereof

A method of preventing formation of rust on a metal surface is provided. The method may include applying a polyamine onto the metal surface and applying a compound of formula (I) or salt thereof onto the metal surface. The compositions and methods disclosed herein may be used to inhibit corrosion of a metal surface in contact with an aqueous system.

Galvanized metal corrosion inhibitor compositions and methods of use

This disclosure relates to compositions and methods of reducing corrosion using benzimidazoles. The method may include adding a benzimidazole and a halogen to an aqueous system that is in contact with a metal surface. The halogen may be bromine, iodine, or any combination thereof. In some cases, adding the halogen may be optional depending on the substituents on the benzimidazole ring. Compositions are also disclosed that include a benzimidazole, optionally a halogen depending on the substituents on the benzimidazole ring, and optionally a halogen stabilizer.

Process and method for reducing metal corrosion in water

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.

2-substituted imidazole and benzimidazole corrosion inhibitors

2-substituted benzimidazoles and methods of preparing the same are disclosed. The compositions may include a compound or salt thereof, an acid, and a polar aprotic solvent. The compositions may be used to inhibit corrosion of a metal surface in contact with an aqueous system, and provide enhanced protection against corrosion of metals in the aqueous system.
