Abstract:
Conversion and passivation coatings and methods for treating metal surfaces such as steel and aluminum are disclosed. The coating compositions comprise a silane and a stabilizing agent. The methods herein comprise contacting the requisite metal surface with the coating composition.
Abstract:
An improved stabilized biocidal delivery system has been found which increases the efficiency and effectiveness of introducing antimicrobial compounds into complex bio-film matrices through the use of liposome vesicular carriers, thereby removing the bio-fouling in industrial water bearing systems, including piping, heat exchanges, condensers, filtration systems and fluid storage tanks. The improved stabilized biocide is comprised of a vesicle encapsulated biocide that is stabilized against chemical and heat degradation over longer periods of time than previously possible through the incorporation of a stabilizer compound. A method for treating an industrial water system with the delivery composition is also claimed.
Abstract:
Conversion and passivation coatings and methods for metal surfaces such as steel and aluminum are disclosed. The coating compositions comprise an aqueous sol of cerium oxide and/or silica particles and a ureido silane compound. The methods of the invention comprise contacting the requisite metal surface with the coating composition.
