Reaction products of substituted imidazolines and amino tri (lower alkylidene phosphonic acids)

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5004600

An amino phosphonic acid is made dispersible in organic solvents to form clear solutions by reacting the acid in water solution with an imidazoline having an alkyl side chain containing about 8 carbon atoms. The resulting reaction product is highly soluble in a wide variety of organic solvents. It is useful as a scale inhibitor, corrosion inhibitor, paraffin solvent and inhibitor, and acid retarder in oil wells. It has other uses in the oil field and outside the oil field. (2 claims)
