NOVEL POLYPHOSPHATE/AZOLE COMPOSITIONS AND THE USE THEREOF AS COPPER AND COPPER ALLOY CORROSION INHIBITORS

摘要

A polyphosphate in combination with an azole such as an alkyl or alkoxy benzotriazole, mercaptobenzothiazole, tolyltriazole, benzotriazole, a substituted benzotriazole and/or 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole, is used to inhibit the corrosion of metallic surfaces, particularly copper surfaces, in contact with an aqueous system. Systems and composition are also claimed.
