Treatment for water systems to inhibit corrosion and scale formation

摘要

This invention relates to an improved composition and method which inhibit the corrosion of and the formation of scale on metals present in an aqueous system. The composition comprises a water soluble copolymer having moieties derived from acrylic acid and from lower alkyl hydroxy acrylates, and a combination of a manganese compound and an aminoalkylenephosphonic acid derivative or its salts.
