Abstract:
Secondary amines having the formula (I): R(Y).sub.s NHX, in which R is a hydrocarbon group having 2-12 carbon atoms, Y is the group --CH(OH)CH.sub.2 --, --OCH.sub.2 CH(OH)CH.sub.2 -- or --O(CH.sub.2).sub.3, X is an alkyl group having 2-3 carbon atoms and substituted with hydroxyl groups in the 2-position or in the 2 - and 3-positions, and s is 0 or 1 with the condition that when s is 0, then X is an alkyl group substituted in the 2- and 3-positions, or a salt thereof, are used as anticorrosion and antimicrobial agents. They are suitable to be incorporated in aqueous, alkaline, industrial fluids. An aqueous, alkaline metal working fluid is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present application relates to a method of producing an amide product mixture having a low content of secondary amines by reacting an amide product mixture having a high secondary amine content with an aliphatic alkylene oxide in the absence of an essential amount of any alkoxylation catalyst. The amide product mixture obtained contains a minor amount of tertiary amines and exhibits advantageous properties when used for the formulation of cosmetic products, such as shampoos and creams; foam cleaning compositions, e.g. for textiles and cars; and functional fluids, such as lubricants, metal working fluids and hydraulic fluids.
Abstract:
A method for mechanically working cobalt-containing metals is carried out in the presence of a synthetic metal working liquid containing specific tertiary amines which are alkanol amines capable of reducing both the release of cobalt and the corrosion of iron. The alkanol amine compounds contain one or more hydrophobic groups, such as alkyl groups or higher alkylene oxy groups. A concentrate is provided which contains the alkanol amine compounds and which is suitable, after dilution with water, for use in mechanical working.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method for mechanical working of a metal containing copper, aluminum or an alloy thereof. The method is carried out in the presence of an aqueous cooling lubricant containing an alkanol amine. The lubricant is capable of preventing and reducing the corrosion of both metals and iron.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to cationic sugar surfactants with improved biodegradability that can be used as hydrotropes for surfactants, especially for nonionic alkylene oxide adducts in alkaline solutions, and as cleaners for hard surfaces. The cationic sugar surfactants contain at least one hydrocarbon group with 6-24 carbon atoms and at least one quaternary ammonium group where at least one substituent is an alkyleneoxy containing group which is connected to a saccharide residue by a glycosidic bond. They are obtained from ethoxylated quaternary ammounium compounds and reducing saccharides or alkyl glycosides.
