Protective compositions for steel surfaces and the process for their preparation

摘要

The invention refers to new compositions for protecting steel surfaces from the oxidizing action of atmosphere. The essential components are: glucosides of pyrogallic and/or allagic acid of molecular weight between 270 and 1200; phosphoric acid, phosphates of bivalent transition metals such as Zn and Mn and nitrates of bivalent metals such as Zn and Mn.
