Method and composition for preventing oxidation
A composition for inhibiting oxidation includes an anionic, hydrophilic, water soluble polymer, an anionic surfactant, and water.
1. A composition for inhibiting oxidation, the composition comprising:
an anionic, hydrophilic, water soluble polymer, wherein the polymer is chosen from the group consisting of anionic polyacrylamide, methylcellulose, xanthan gum, guar gum, and lignin sulfonate;
an anionic surfactant, wherein the surfactant is sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate;
a co-solvent; and,
water.
2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the co-sol-vent is chosen from the group consisting of: diethylene glycol/isopropyl alcohol, diethylene glycol/ethanol, glycerin/isopropyl alcohol, and glycerin/ethanol.
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein polyacrylamide is between about 0.1% and about 20% by weight, the sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate is between about 0.4% and about 4.8% by weight, the co-solvent is between about 1.0% and about 11.1% by weight, and the water is between about 64.1% and 98.5% by weight.
4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the co-solvent is diethylene glycol and isopropyl alcohol, wherein the diethylene glycol is between about 0.9% and about 10.5% by weight and the isopropyl alcohol is between about 0.1% and about 0.6% by weight.
