Cleaning and corrosion inhibitor systems and compositions for the surface of aluminum or colored metals and their alloys under alkaline conditions

摘要

The present invention relates to corrosion inhibitor systems, in particular to cleaning and corrosion inhibiting compositions for surfaces of aluminum or colored metals and alloys thereof under alkaline conditions, especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The cleaning and corrosion inhibiting compositions comprise as a corrosion inhibitor at least one alkyleneoxy alkylphosphate di- or triester having the general formula (I) where Z is either O-M or O-(AO)n2 Alkyl wherein M is an ammonium, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal cation, Alkyl is a C5-C22 alkyl or alkylaryl group, AO is a C2-4-alkylene oxide unit and n1, n2 and n3 each are integers from 2 to 10.
