<p>"SYNERGISTIC SCALE AND CORROSION INHIBITING ADMIXTURES CONTAINING CARBOXYLIC ACID/ SULFONIC ACID POLYMERS" The instant invention is directed to an admixture, and its use in inhibiting scale and corrosion in aqueous systems, comprising: (a) a water-soluble polymer having a weight average molecular weight of less than 25,000, as determined by low angle laser light scattering, comprising an unsaturated carboxylic acid and an unsaturated sulfonic acid, or their salts, having a ratio of 1:20 to 20:1, and (b) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of water-soluble polycarboxylates, phosphonates, phosphates, polyphosphates, metal salts and sulfonates. (Continued): The instant invention is also directed to a method of inhibiting the formation of insoluble alluvial, metal oxide and metal hydroxide deposits in an aqueous system, comprising adding to the system at least 0.1 mg/l of a water-soluble polymer having a weight average molecular weight of less than 25,000, as determined by low angle laser light scattering, comprising an unsaturated carboxylic acid and an unsaturated sulfonic acid, or their salts, having a ratio of 1:20 to 20:1 and a phosphonate.</p> |
