Title: Coating composition for inhibiting corrosion of metal substrates

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6347754

The corrosion-inhibiting coating composition for application to a metal substrate is described comprising: (a) from about 55% to about 78.5%, by weight of nonvolatile material, of an epoxy resin having a molecular weight of about 15,000 to about 80,000; (b) from about 20% to about 40%, by weight of nonvolatile material, of a phenolic resin; (c) from about 1.5% to about 5%, by weight of nonvolatile material, of an organic corrosion inhibitor having the structural formula: wherein each R is selected, independently, from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulfonyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl, alkylphenyl, phenylalkyl, halo, cyano, nitro, carboxyl, carboxyalkyl, hydroxy, amino, and carbamoyl, and wherein R[sub 1], R[sub 2], R[sub 3] and R[sub 4] are selected, independently, from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, carboxyalkyl, carboxyl, phenyl, and phenylalkyl, and wherein at least one of the R[sub 1], R[sub 2], R[sub 3] and R[sub 4] groups is a carboxyl group; and (d) a sufficient amount of a nonaqueous carrier such that the corrosion-inhibiting composition includes from about 20% to about 40%, by weight of the total composition, of nonvolatile material.
