Abstract
Compositions of (a) a salt of a metal and a carboxylic acid having at least 6 carbon atoms and (b) at least one salt of a metal other than the metal of (a) and a carboxylic acid having at least 6 carbon atoms in a fluid medium are stabilized towards storage decomposition and precipitation by incorporating in the composition (c) a complexing agent such as a ketoxime.
Claims62
A stabilized composition comprising, in an organic fluid medium:
- (a) a salt of a metal and a carboxylic acid having at least 6 carbon atoms;
- (b) at least one salt of a metal other than the metal of (a) and a carboxylic acid having at least 6 carbon atoms;
- and
- (c) an oxime complexing agent.
A process for providing shelf-stability to a mixture, in an organic fluid medium, of (a) a salt of a metal and a carboxylic acid having at least 6 carbon atoms and (b) a salt of a metal other than the metal of (a) and at least one carboxylic acid having at least 6 carbon atoms, comprising including in the mixture an oxime complexing agent.
A stabilized composition consisting essentially of:
- (a) a salt of a metal and a carboxylic acid having at least 6 carbon atoms;
- (b) at least one salt of a metal other than the metal of (a) and a carboxylic acid having at least 6 carbon atoms;
- and
- (c) an oxime complexing agent.
