Antifreeze containing carboxysiloxane metal salts and hydroxybenzoic acid as PH buffer and corrosion inhibitor

摘要

This invention relates to single-phase antifreeze and coolant concentrates comprising an alcohol, a metal salt of a carboxysiloxane and an organic basic PH buffer and corrosion inhibitor comprising a hydroxybenzoic acid or mixtures thereof. The concentrates are preferably used as coolants either undiluted or upon dilution with about 25 to about 90 percent by weight of water based upon the total weight of the concentrate. The alcohol is preferably ethylene glycol. The coolant compositions are effective in providing protection against corrosion of all metals and alloys used in industrial heat exchangers and are especially effective in inhibiting the corrosion of aluminum internal combustion engine and radiator components.
