Anticorrosion additives for manufacturing processes, a process for preparation thereof and use thereof
The present invention relates to novel anticorrosion additives for manufacturing processes, comprising at least one triazole and the reaction product of at least one alkylene glycol and at least one carboxylic anhydride, to a process for preparation thereof and to the use thereof for corrosion protection for aluminum and/or aluminum alloys.
1. An anticorrosion composition for inhibiting discoloration of aluminium and/or aluminium alloys in manufacturing processes, the composition comprising:
water; and
an additive comprising:
at least one triazole; and
the reaction product of at least one alkylene glycol and at least one carboxylic anhydride selected from the group consisting of maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, glutaric anhydride, and mixtures thereof, wherein the ratio by weight of the at least one alkylene glycol to the at least one carboxylic acid is 0.7:2 to 1.3:2, and wherein the composition is free of silicone and phosphorus, and the composition inhibits discoloration corrosion of aluminium and/or aluminium alloys.
2. The anticorrosion composition according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one alkylene glycol is a C 3 -C 24 -alkylene glycol.
3. The anticorrosion composition according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one triazole is tolyltriazole or benzotriazole or a mixture thereof.
4. The anticorrosion composition according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio by weight of the at least one triazole to the reaction product of the at least one alkylene glycol and the at least one carboxylic anhydride is 1:10 to 1:2.
5. A process for preparing the anticorrosion composition according to claim 1 , comprising:
preparing the reaction product of the at least one alkylene glycol and the at least one carboxylic anhydride by either
a) melting the at least one carboxylic anhydride and then adding the at least one alkylene glycol at temperatures of at least 60° C., or
b) reacting the at least one carboxylic anhydride and the at least one alkylene glycol at temperatures of at least 60° C., and
then adding to the reaction product the at least one triazole.
6. A process for protecting aluminium and/or aluminium alloys from corrosion during manufacturing processes, comprising applying the anticorrosion composition according to claim 1 to the aluminium and/or aluminium alloys.
7. An anticorrosion additive for aluminium and/or aluminium alloys in manufacturing processes, the additive comprising:
tolyltriazole, and
the reaction product of triethylene glycol and maleic anhydride, wherein the ratio by weight of triethylene glycol to maleic anhydride is 0.7:2 to 1.3:2, wherein the additive is phosphorus and silicone free.
