Abstract:
A chemical composition comprising the neutralization product of at least one amine neutralization compound and a carboxylic acid, said amine neutralization compound comprising about 1% to about 100% by weight of the total amount of said amine neutralization compound of a first amine compound and 0% to about 99% by weight of a second amine compound, said first amine compound comprising a polyamine containing at least one tertiary amine group and at least one quaternary amine group, said tertiary amine group of said first amine compound reacting with said carboxylic acid to produce a tertiary ammonium carboxylate salt, said second amine compound containing at least one primary, secondary or tertiary amine group reacting with said carboxylic acid to produce an ammonium carboxylate salt with the proviso that when said second amine contains only primary and/or secondary amine groups, the amount of said second amine in said amine neutralization compound is no greater than about 20% by weight of said first and second amine and said carboxylic acid comprises at least about 80% by weight of a polycarboxylic acid.
