Abstract:
A concentrate inhibitor composition having a total mass, comprising:(A) a mass of a component selected from the group consisting of secondary and tertiary amine molecules conforming to the chemical formula (I): where: R1 represents a moiety selected from the group consisting of monovalent moieties conforming to the chemical formula â€”CH2â€”R4, where R4 represents an &agr;-ketonyl moiety; R2 represents a moiety selected from the group consisting of abietyl, hydroabietyl, and dehydroabietyl moieties; and R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a moiety conforming to R1, which moiety may or may not be the same as R1, where the mass of component (A) is from about 2% to about 50% by weight of the total mass of said concentrate inhibitor composition; (B) a mass of a component selected from the group consisting of organic compounds and polymers that contain at least two hydroxy moieties per molecule of said component and an average of at least 0.4 hydroxy moieties per carbon atom, where the mass of component (B) has a ratio to the mass of component (A) that is from about 0.10:1.0 to about 8.0:1.0 by weight; (C) a mass of a component selected from the group consisting of organic molecules that contain at least one carbon-sulfur bond and are not part of any of the previously recited components (A) or (B), where the mass of component (C) has a ratio to the mass of component (A) that is from about 0.02:1.0 to about 1.5:1.0 by weight; and (D) a mass of surfactant that is not part of any of the previously recited components (A) through (C), where the mass of component (D) has a ratio to the mass of component (A) that is from about 0.10:1.0 to about 5.0:1.0 by weight.
