Vapor phase corrosion inhibitor compositions and method of inhibiting corrosion using said compositions

摘要

A method for inhibiting corrosion of metal by contacting the metal with a volatile alkyl ester of an amino acid. The invention also provides compositions containing these alkyl esters of amino acids as an active anti-corrosion inhibitor. These compositions may be fluid or semi- fluid compositions exemplified by oil-base compositions. The compositions may also be porous materials such as zeolite, silica gel, paper board, kraft paper, cloth, etc.
