Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
51 words
A METHOD OF INHIBITING THE CORROSION OF METALS IN A WATER SYSTEM COMPRISING MAINTAINING IN THE WATER OF SAID STSTEM AT LEAST ABOUT 5 PPM OF A COMPOSITION COMPRISING ZINC AND AT LEAST ONE LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYMER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF POLYACRYLAMIDE, POLY ACRYLIC ACID AND SODIUM POLACRYLATE.
