Title: Films, foils or like structures of regenerated cellulose and method of manufacturing same
IPC: C08J7/06
Filed: 1942-10-12
Abstract: A water-soluble inorganic compound which has a passivating action on ferrous metals is incorporated in a sheet, film, foil, or the like, of regenerated cellulose which is used for wrapping metal articles. Although the sheets may be permeable to moisture and may contain softening agents of a hygroscopic nature they provide adequate protection for ferrous metals against rusting. The films may be moisture-proofed so as to provide a further protection against rusting of the wrapped ferrous metal articles. The corrosion inhibitor may be an alkali metal chromate or dichromate, an alkali metal nitrite, or an alkali metal chlorate. It may be incorporated in the bath containing softening agent which immediately precedes the drier on which the film is dried. Alternatively, a solution of the corrosion inhibitor may be applied to the surface of the finished dried film.
