Methods of using a mixture as a corrosion inhibitor, moisture or formaldehyde scavenger, reactive diluent, rheological modifier, thermoplastic foam inhibitor, antifreezing agent, decolorizing agent, or drying agent. The mixture consists of from 0 to 100 mole percent of an iminoalcohol compound: ##STR1## wherein: R.sub.1 is a methyl or methylol group, an ethyl or ethylol group, a branched or straight chain alkyl or alkanol group, a cycloalkyl group, or an aryl group; R.sub.2 is a hydrogen atom, a methyl or methylol group, an ethyl or ethylol group, a straight chain or branched chain alkyl or alkanol group, a cycloalkyl group, or an aryl group, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are fused together with the attached carbon to form a cycloalkane ring; R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are, individually, a hydrogen atom, a methyl or methylol group, an ethyl or ethylol group, or a straight chain or branched chain alkyl or alkanol group; R.sub.6 is a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, an ethyl group, or a straight chain or branched chain alkyl group; and R.sub.7 is a hydrogen atom, a methyl or methylol group, an ethyl or ethylol group, a straight chain or branched chain alkyl or alkanol group, a cycloalkyl group, an acyl group, an aryl group, an ester containing group, or an amino containing group; and from 0 to 100 mole percent of an oxazolidine compound having the structure: ##STR2##
A method of scavenging moisture from a preparation, wherein the method comprises admixing with the preparation from 1 mole to about 100 moles of a moisture scavenging compound for every mole of water to be dehydrated from the preparation, the moisture scavenging compound being selected from the group consisting of:
A method of inhibiting corrosion of a metal or alloy, wherein the method comprises contacting the metal or alloy with at least one mole of a corrosion inhibiting compound for every mole of water to be removed from a surface of the metal or alloy, the corrosion inhibiting compound being selected from the group consisting of:
A method of reducing foaming of a thermoplastic comprising admixing with the thermoplastic at least one mole of an antifoamant for every mole of water to be reacted in the thermoplastic, the antifoamant being selected from the group consisting of:
