US 5,854,145 A · Corrosion inhibitor solution applicator

Abstract

A package for facilitating the protection of metallic surfaces against corrosion and including a blend of corrosion inhibitor and surface-conditioning component such as a degreaser, descaler, and/or anti-static component in liquid state impregnated into a substrate such as a wipe for simultaneous and direct application to the surface of the article being protected. The corrosion inhibitor component is preferably an amine salt of carboxylic acid, triazole, an alkali metal salt of aldonic acid, or alkanolamine salts of fatty acids, an alkali metal or alkanolamine salt of aromatic sulfonic acid, or blends thereof. The substrate is preferably a wipe fabricated from a fabric such as soft cotton, but may also include other wipe materials such as woven or non-woven polyolefin fabric, or non-woven materials such as paper toweling.
