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:
anionic polyacrylamide; and,
sodium alpha olefin sulfonate, wherein the composition does not contain a solvent.
2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polyacrylamide is either synthetic or a naturally occurring biopolymer.
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polyacrylamide is between 0.1% and 20% by weight, and the sodium alpha olefin sulfonate is between about 2% and about 38% by weight.
4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the polyacrylamide is about 10% by weight, and the sodium alpha olefin sulfonate is about 8% by weight.
5. A. composition for inhibiting oxidation, the composition comprising:
anionic polyacrylamide;
sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate;
a co-solvent; and,
water.
6. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the co-solvent is chosen from the group consisting of: diethylene glycol/isopropyl alcohol, diethylene glycol/ethanol, glycerin/isopropyl alcohol, and glycerin/ethanol.
7. The composition of claim 5 , 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.
