Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to compositions of matter and methods of preparation of surface modified aluminum oxyhydroxide particles that release one or more types of corrosion inhibitors when triggered by corrosion products.
  • Corrosion inhibitors are anchored to the particles through a carboxylic acid. Hydroxide ions generated from the corrosion of metals triggers release of the corrosion inhibitors from the particles.
  • the particles carrying the corrosion inhibitors are incorporated into protective coatings to inhibit corrosion on metals and alloys such as iron, aluminum, copper, magnesium, nickel, brass and bronze.
  • Protective organic coatings are one of the most cost-effective methods of preventing the corrosion of metals. These protective organic coatings are typically polymeric. In typical practice, the protective organic coating is applied over an inorganic conversion coating.
  • the protective organic coating may comprise one or more layers of different organic coatings.
  • the first layer is typically an epoxy that adheres well to the conversion coating and has excellent chemical and barrier properties.
  • the epoxy coating is typically overlaid with a second coating, such as polyurethane, that is more resistant to weathering than the epoxy.
  • Conversion coatings are produced directly on the metal surfaces by treatment with a chemical agent [such as a soluble chromate or zinc phosphonate] to passivate or seal the surface.
  • Conversion coatings are thin, new phases produced by the reaction of the metal and the chemical agent and are typically either metal phosphates or metal chromates.
  • the conversion layers can enhance adhesion of the protective organic coating to the metal, provide an enhanced barrier to corrosion and can contain corrosion inhibitors.
  • the primary function of the protective organic coating is to prevent corrosion by physically blocking agents that cause corrosion (water, solubilizing organic or inorganic anions, certain oxidizing agents, etc.) from reaching the metal surface.
  • agents that cause corrosion water, solubilizing organic or inorganic anions, certain oxidizing agents, etc.
  • this approach is defeated if the coating has a defect, if the coating becomes damaged or simply if water or other corrosive agents slowly penetrate through the intact coating.
  • soluble or dispersible corrosion inhibitors are often added to the protective organic coatings.
  • a corrosion inhibitor for use in coatings is generally a soluble or dispersible material that is incorporated into the coating and can be transported by convection or diffusion to the site of corrosion where it slows down the corrosion reaction.
  • the corrosion inhibitor must therefore be mobile and be able to migrate to the corrosion site, because the site is often a scratch or a gap in the coating that is not directly in contact with the coating itself.
  • Corrosion inhibitors can be divided into two broad categories, those that enhance the formation of a native protective oxide film through an oxidizing effect and those that inhibit corrosion by selectively adsorbing on the metal surface and creating a barrier that prevents access of the corrosive agent to the surface.
  • materials such as inorganic chromates, inorganic nitrates, molybdates and organic nitrates.
  • the latter group includes materials such as carbonates, silicates and phosphates and organic molecules containing heteroatoms such as nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus and oxygen (e.g. materials such as anthranilic acid, thiols, organic phosphonates and organic carboxylates).
  • Soluble chromates are widely used corrosion inhibitors due to their high effectiveness in arresting corrosion. Chromates are highly effective corrosion inhibitors because they simultaneously provide several mechanisms to retard corrosion. (Frankel, G. S. and R. L. McCreery, "Inhibition of Al Alloy Corrosion by Chromates," J. Electrochem. Soc, Interface, Winter, 34-38, 2001). Soluble chromates are oxidizing compounds that can also react with the corroding surfaces of aluminum and steel to provide an insoluble and a somewhat hydrophobic barrier.
  • Chromates are also thought to inhibit corrosion by poisoning of the oxygen reduction reaction and inhibiting the initiation of corrosion.
  • high concentrations of chromates (sometimes up to 50% by weight) are added to the protective coating to provide a reservoir of the corrosion inhibitor so that a high level of corrosion protection can be maintained over several years, even in severe environments.
  • chromate corrosion inhibiting additives have adverse environmental effects, and there is a widely recognized need for non-chromate corrosion inhibitors.
  • the toxic properties of chromates are well documented.
  • the Public Health Service (ACGIH 1986/Ex. 1-3, p. 140) reports nasal irritation, evidence of liver enlargement and kidney dysfunction among chromate workers exposed to 0.06 to 0.07 mg Cr(VI)An 3 . This report also cites excess lung cancer among chromate workers exposed to 0.01 to 0.15 mg/m 3 soluble chromate and 0.1 to 0.58 mg/m 3 insoluble chromate.
  • the use of chromate- inhibited spray-on coatings creates inhalable chromate tainted dusts. Removing chromate- inhibited coatings by chemical or mechanical means also generates a hazardous chromated waste that requires expensive disposal.
  • Organic corrosion inhibitors are an alternative to the toxic heavy metal corrosion inhibitors currently used in coatings.
  • the inhibition of corrosion of a metal or an alloy by organic corrosion inhibitors can be achieved by many mechanisms, the effectiveness of which depends on many factors; including the nature of the metal, the oxidation-reduction potential of the environment, the temperature, and the concentration and strength of adsorption of the organic molecule to the metal surface.
  • Organic corrosion inhibitors are generally low to moderate molecular weight molecules that primarily prevent corrosion by either reacting with the surface of the metal, its oxide, or its corrosion products to form a thin film. (Kuznetsov, Y.I., J. G. N. Thomas and A. D. Mercer. "Organic Inhibitors of Corrosion of Metals", Plenum Pub Corp.
  • Organic corrosion inhibitors generally interact with the metal via chemical adsorption. Chemical adsorption involves the formation of a coordinate bond between the metal surfaces and the organic corrosion inhibitor. The nature of the metal and the structure of the organic have a decisive effect on the strength of the bond and therefore the efficiency of the organic corrosion inhibitor. Organic corrosion inhibitors generally have donor atoms such as S, O and N that can donate electrons to the metal, thereby forming the coordinate bond. All other things being equal, higher electron density and larger polarizabilities usually lead to better corrosion protection, as known in the art. Because film formation is a chemical adsorption process, the temperature and the concentration of the inhibitors are also important factors in determining the effectiveness of the organic corrosion inhibitors.
  • Corrosion inhibitors can be added directly to the protective organic coating, and using several different corrosion inhibitors can produce a synergistic effect. For example, combinations of oleic acid and phenyl anthranilate have been reported to be significantly more effective than either of the inhibitors alone (Kuznetsov, Y.I., J. G. N. Thomas and A. D.
  • the organic corrosion inhibitors are designed so that they would not be locked into the polymer structure (e.g. using latent reactive groups), when the corrosion-inhibited coatings are exposed to water (e.g. rain or aqueous detergent solutions used to clean the coatings), the inhibitors can be lost from the film by leaching, migration or extraction. The loss of inhibitor reduces the effectiveness and useful service lifetime of the coating.
  • the corrosion inhibitor must be able to diffuse through the coating to reach the corrosion site; especially if a hole or a scratch in the coating produced the corrosion site. Unfortunately, it is this mobility that allows the corrosion inhibitor to escape from the coating.
  • the coatings contain toxics (as do the currently used chromated epoxies), the toxics can be leached into the environment.
  • adding a high concentration of a corrosion inhibitor to a coating can change the physical properties and chemical properties of a coating, often for the worse.
  • compositions that release corrosion inhibiting agents from particles include ion-exchange resins, ion-exchanged zeolites and carbon molecular sieves, ion-exchanged solid particles and water soluble glasses.
  • U.S. Patent 3,899,624 discloses the use of organic ion-exchange resins incorporating corrosion inhibiting anions or cations and the release of said ions into a paint to arrest corrosion by ion exchange.
  • the corrosion inhibiting ions include zinc and chromates.
  • U.S. Patent 4,738,720 discloses the use of a calcium ion-exchange zeolite composition and its use in a paint.
  • H856 a statutory invention registration, discloses the use of calcium and barium exchanged Y-zeolites and their incorporation into a paint as corrosion inhibitors for steel panels.

  • the present invention provides for chemically anchoring carboxylic acids to the surface of aluminum oxyhydroxide surfaces, as evidenced by quantum mechanical calculations based on Density Functional Theory and solid-state NMR studies.
  • the chemically anchored corrosion inhibitors of the present invention are not released by ion-exchange, but they are released by chemical disruption of the carboxylate bond between the corrosion inhibitor and the aluminum oxyhydroxide surface.
  • U.S. Patents 4,210,575, 4,428,774, 4,346,184, 4,518,429, and 4,561,896 disclose water soluble glass compositions, including as its major constituents phosphorous pentoxide and either zinc oxide or calcium oxide, which together form the glass forming oxide and glass modifying oxide respectively of the glass, together with a minor proportions of one or more oxides of an element or elements of Group IIA or Group IHB of the periodic table, the compositions of the glass being such that, when the glass is contacted with water, phosphate ions and either zinc or calcium cations are leached into solution.
  • the leached ions are disclosed as effective in the corrosion protection of iron or steel surfaces.
  • ketocarboxylic acids are preferably bound to the surfaces of oxides, hydroxides, silicates or carbonates, where examples of these materials are alumina, magnesium oxide, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, kieselguhr, talc, aluminium silicate, calcium carbonate or iron oxide. These materials are incorporated into paints where they are disclosed to arrest corrosion.
  • the material to which the corrosion inhibitors are chemically anchored are aluminum oxyhydroxides or inorganic particles that are fully or partially covered with aluminum oxyhydroxides, a class of materials not disclosed in U.S. Patent 5,489,447.
  • the materials are designed to release the corrosion inhibitors under certain conditions, e.g. alkaline environments with pH greater than 9.
  • the present invention provides for an improvement over the above disclosures.
  • the materials are designed to release the corrosion inhibitors over time whether or not there is any corrosion occurring at the metal surface.
  • the concentration of the organic inhibitor may therefore be reduced by leaching of the corrosion inhibitor from the coating before corrosion occurs. This reduces the effectiveness of the inhibitor and the effective service life of the coating.
  • the present invention describes methods and materials for providing the triggered release of organic corrosion inhibitors from particle carriers.
  • the invention also provides for incorporating these corrosion inhibiting particles into protective organic coatings.
  • corrosion inhibitors are chemically anchored to a particle surface through a labile chemical bond that can be broken by interaction with hydroxide ions generated by corrosion of the metal surface.
  • hydroxide ions generated by corrosion of the metal surface.
  • the basic hydroxide ions generated by the corrosion process break the chemical bond between the corrosion inhibitor and the particle, and thereby release the previously anchored and immobilized corrosion inhibitor into the protective organic coating.
  • the corrosion inhibiting particles comprise one or more organic corrosion inhibitors that are covalently anchored to an aluminum oxyhydroxide surface through a carboxylic acid.
  • the triggered release of the anchored corrosion inhibitors from the aluminum oxyhydroxide surfaces of the present invention is observed when an aqueous dispersion of the carboxylate-anchored surface modified pseudoboehmite/boehmite particles is titrated.
  • FTIR of the particles recovered from solution in this pH range shows that the organics are still anchored to the surfaces of the particles. However, above ⁇ pH 9, the particles precipitate out of solution. FTIR of the particles recovered from the latter experiment show no organic anchored to the surface and the quantitative recovery of the organics from the solution was achieved. Thus, the bond between the carboxylic acid and the pseudoboehmite/boehmite surfaces is unstable in basic conditions (i.e. above ⁇ pH 9).
  • the release of corrosion inhibitors is linked to and triggered by the corrosion process. Since the release of the organic corrosion inhibitors occurs only when triggered by the corrosion processes, this minimizes the amount of corrosion inhibitor that can be leached out of the coating.
  • the invention allows multiple organic corrosion inhibitors to be incorporated simultaneously into a protective polymer coating at concentrations sufficient to inhibit corrosion without degrading the physical properties and performance of the coating (either by anchoring different types of inhibitors to a single particle or by using two or more types of particles each with a single type of inhibitor attached). This means organic corrosion inhibitors that are active over a wide range of pH conditions (corrosion can also be occurring at additional sites where the electrolyte conditions are neutral or acidic) are available in the coating for arresting corrosion.
  • the ability to chemically anchor multiple types of releasable corrosion inhibitors to the particle carriers is also important since numerous studies have shown that mixed organic corrosion inhibiting agents can have a synergistic effect.

  • the materials comprise one or more corrosion inhibitors that are chemically anchored to a particle having an aluminum oxyhydroxide surface through the carboxylate end of an organic carboxylic acid.
  • the said corrosion inhibitors may themselves contain the carboxylic acid and be directly chemically anchored to the aluminum oxyhydroxide surface or the corrosion inhibitors may be grafted to the particle having an aluminum oxyhydroxide surface by chemical reaction with functional groups that are present in a carboxylic acid that is chemically anchored to the aluminum oxyhydroxide surface through the carboxylate functionality.
  • the release of the corrosion inhibitor from the aluminum oxyhydroxide surface is triggered by disruption of the particle-carboxylate bond under corrosion-causing conditions (e.g. the strongly basic conditions generated by the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction that is part of the corrosion process, or other conditions that cause the particle-carboxylate bond to break).
  • the present invention also allows multiple types of corrosion inhibitors to be incorporated into a protective coating, preferably at concentrations sufficient to inhibit corrosion without degrading the physical properties and performance of the coating, either by adding particles having several different types of corrosion inhibitors chemically anchored to the particle surface or by adding several types of particles, each with a different type of corrosion inhibitor chemically anchored to the particle surface to the coating.

  • the reaction sequence(s) can be continued in additional steps using reactions selected from the above reactions.
  • the active component of the corrosion inhibitor may be incorporated as the terminal step in the grafting process or may be incorporated at any step in the grafting process.
  • the reaction sequence(s) can also be used to graft non-corrosion inhibitors to the surface of the aluminum oxyhydroxide particles. These non-corrosion inhibitors can be used for the purpose of compatibilizing the surface of the particle corrosion inhibitors with the protective coating, and other uses, as known in the art.
  • Corrosion inhibitors that can be anchored to the particles are numerous.
  • Corrosion inhibitors that can be anchored to the surface of the particle are organics or organometallics that inhibit corrosion of metals and metal alloys, and include but are not limited to materials such as organophosphates, organothiols, organonitrates, nitrogen- heterocyclics, sulfur-heterocyclics, oxygen-heterocyclics, aromatics, ring substituted aromatics, cycloaliphatics, heterocyclic aromatics and cycloaliphatics, sulfides, organo phosphates, olefins, phenols, substituted phenols, quinones, amines, aromatic amines, carboxylates, amine-carboxylates, aromatic amine carboxylates, and salts and/or combinations of any of the above.
  • Preferred corrosion inhibitors are organic or metal- organic complexes or metal-organophosphorous complexes.
  • Particularly effective classes of anchored corrosion inhibitors are chelating agents (i.e. compounds having two or more functional groups positioned so that multiple bonds can be formed with a single atom). These chelants react with metals to form insoluble metal chelates. While these materials generally work by forming insoluble films, these materials can also suppress corrosion in the absence of the formation of a stabilized oxide layer or an insoluble film. In this latter case, the materials are classified as adsorption passivators (Kuznetsov, Y.I., J. G. N. Thomas and A. D. Mercer "Organic Inhibitors of Corrosion of Metals", Plenum Pub Corp. 1996). These materials passivate corrosion via their hydrophobicity. There is thought to be a "squeezing out" of corrosion enabling anions from the metal surface.
  • the corrosion inhibitors to be selected for incorporation onto the nanoparticles depend on the corrosion environment and the metal to be protected, as known in the art. Examples of some of the preferred corrosion inhibitors for acid, neutral and alkaline environments are given as follows. For acid environments, materials such as quaternary ammonium compounds, imidazolines, aldehydes, and sulfoxides are capable of inhibiting general corrosion. For neutral solutions, carboxylic acids, mercaptocarboxylic acids, imidazoles, oximes and azoles are effective corrosion inhibitors. For alkaline solutions, materials such as tannins, substituted phenols, substituted quinolines and quinalizarin are highly effective.
  • the types of corrosion inhibitors described above can be chemically anchored to the nanoparticle surface through a carboxylate anchor or they can be grafted to the nanoparticle by reaction with a functional group that is anchored to the nanoparticle through a carboxylic acid.
  • phenolic acids such as p-hydroxybenzoic acid and 4,4-bis(4- hydroxyphenyl)valeric acid can be chemically anchored directly to the aluminum oxyhydroxide surface through their carboxylate groups.
  • the phenolic acid modified aluminum oxyhydroxide particles can then be incorporated into protective organic coatings and provide corrosion protection.
  • both 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 4,4-bis(4- hydroxyphenyl)valeric surface modified pseudoboehmite nanoparticles have been incorporated into epoxy and polyurethane coatings, and provided very good corrosion protection to Al-7075 alloys for 2000 hours in a salt fog test.
  • anchor corrosion inhibitors to the aluminum oxyhydroxide surfaces that can arrest corrosion under neutral or acidic pH environments. When released from the aluminum oxyhydroxide surfaces by alkaline conditions these corrosion inhibitors will diffuse through the coating and arrest corrosion where the surface conditions are neutral or acidic. Anchoring corrosion inhibitors that protect in alkaline, neutral, and acidic environments to aluminum oxyhydroxide particles provides protection over a wide pH range.
  • the carboxylate-free corrosion inhibitor structures can be chemically grafted to a previously carboxylate-derivatized particle.
  • the particle can be first derivatized using acrylic acid (not normally used as a corrosion inhibitor) and then a corrosion inhibitor such as 2-(4-imidazolyl)ethylamine can then be Michael adducted to the surface anchored acrylate.
  • the surface can be simultaneously modified with two or more corrosion inhibitors. For example, both acrylic acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid can be anchored to the boehmite surface.
  • An amine containing corrosion inhibitor can then be grafted to the anchored acrylate via a Michael addition reaction.
  • Other addition or substitution reactions known to those skilled in the art of organic synthesis can be carried out with the appropriate reaction pairs as known in the art to graft a wide range of corrosion inhibitors to the derivatized aluminum oxyhydroxide surface particle surface.
  • the corrosion inhibitor-modified particles are then incorporated into a protective organic coating where the corrosion inhibitors are released from the particle surface by reaction with hydroxide ions generated by corrosion of the metal substrate.
  • the protective coating is generally a polymeric material (organic or inorganic polymer) whose primary function is to provide a physical barrier between the environment and the metal substrate.
  • the protective coating also serves as a carrier or matrix to hold the soluble/dispersible corrosion inhibitor in place.
  • organic protective coatings e.g. paints
  • organic protective coatings include latexes, amino resins, polyurethanes, epoxies, phenolic resins, acrylic resins, polyester resins, alkyd resins, polysulfide resins and halogenated polymer resins. Other coatings are known in the art.
  • Particles containing corrosion inhibitors and optional additives can be introduced into the coating using the methods of the present invention and other means known in the art, such as adding the appropriate amount of particles with other components of the composition.
  • Corrosion inhibitors that interfere with different mechanisms of the corrosion process can be chemically anchored to the same particles, or alternatively, each corrosion inhibitor can be anchored to a different particle surface. In the latter case, several different types of surface modified particles are added to the protective coating.
  • the chemically anchored corrosion inhibitors can then be released into the coating and thus to the metal surface by the action of hydroxide ions generated by the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction on metals such as iron and aluminum. High concentrations of multiple corrosion inhibitors can incorporated into the protective coating via the particle carriers without degradation of the properties of the protective coating.
  • one or more non- corrosion inhibiting groups may be anchored to the particle surface.
  • the non-corrosion inhibiting groups provide other functions than corrosion inhibition to the particles.
  • the surface modified particles may also improve the effectiveness of the protective organic coating by acting as barriers to slow diffusion of water and other corrosive agents to the metal surface.
  • composition of coatings incorporating corrosion inhibitors as described herein on metal surfaces change as the surface and coating are exposed to corrosive conditions.
  • the permeability of the coating may change, and the amount of corrosion inhibitors present in the coating changes with time, as particles release their corrosion inhibitors to the surface. This is expected and desired.
  • a corrosion inhibitor can be chemically anchored directly to the aluminum oxyhydroxide surface via a carboxylate group ( Figure 1 and Figure 2).
  • the corrosion inhibitor contains at least one carboxylic acid group that is used to chemically anchor the corrosion inhibitor to the surface of the particle.
  • the carboxylic acid group may in fact be the primary functional group of the corrosion inhibitor that chemically adsorbs to the metal surface to arrest corrosion or the anchored molecule or carboxylic acid may also contain additional functional groups that inhibit corrosion.
  • the corrosion inhibitor can be chemically grafted to the aluminum oxyhydroxide surface through reactions that graft the corrosion inhibitor to carboxylates that have previously been chemically anchored to the surface of the aluminum oxyhydroxide surface.
  • the corrosion inhibitors can be chemically grafted to the aluminum oxyhydroxide materials by a series of reactions.
  • the series of reactions may comprise separate sequential reactions with recovery of intermediates, or a series of reactions in a single pot where only the final product is recovered.
  • the purpose of the described chemical surface anchoring methods is to allow anchoring of different corrosion inhibitors to the surface of the aluminum oxyhydroxide particles or to anchor both corrosion inhibitors and non corrosion inhibitors such as compatibilizing agents to the particle surfaces.
  • the resulting surface modified aluminum oxyhydroxide particles are then incorporated into a protective coating applied to a metal surface.
  • the anchored corrosion inhibitors are released from the aluminum oxyhydroxides by the strongly basic conditions that are encountered following the onset of corrosion of metals such as aluminum and iron.
  • the corrosion inhibitors of the invention may be used in a variety of applications, including but not limited to polymers coated on a metal surface, paints painted on the metal surface and adhesives coated on a metal surface, powder coatings baked onto metal surfaces, polymers flame sprayed onto metal surfaces, coating materials electrostatically sprayed onto metal surfaces.
  • the corrosion inhibitors can be used with a variety of additives, that may be active or inert, including fillers, anti-oxidants, pigments, colorants, leveling agents, thixotropic agents, UV absorbers, wetting agents, dispersion agents, defoamers biocides, fungicides, etc.

Abstract

L’invention fournit une nouvelle classe de matériaux libérables empêchant la corrosion pour des revêtements de protection, leurs procédés de fabrication, leurs procédés d’utilisation, et des revêtements les contenant. Les matériaux comprennent un ou plusieurs inhibiteurs de corrosion qui sont chimiquement ancrés à la surface d'une particule ayant une surface d'oxyhydroxyde d’aluminium par l’intermédiaire d’une liaison carboxylate. La liaison carboxylate/surface d’oxyhydroxyde d’aluminium se casse dans des conditions entraînant la corrosion (par exemple la présence de niveaux élevés d’ions hydroxyde produits par la réaction cathodique de réduction de l'oxygène sur des métaux tels que le fer et l'aluminium) permettant de ce fait aux inhibiteurs de corrosion de se détacher de la surface des particules lorsque la corrosion est présente.
