TECHNOLOGIES FOR PRODUCING A MIXTURE OF ALKYLIMIDAZOLINES AND ACID CORROSION INHIBITORS

Abstract

Imidazoline is a class of heterocycles formally derived from imidazoles by reduction of one of the two double bonds. Imidazolines are thermally stable. The ability to form cations allows imidazoline salts to be strongly adsorbed on negatively charged surfaces of metals, plastics, glass, etc., while hydrophilic surfaces are converted to hydrophobic ones. Imidazoline salts are significantly more hydrophilic than imidazolines themselves. They are compatible with aqueous systems and are capable of forming a thin film. Thus, contact of the surface with water or aggressive acidic environment is reduced, which reduces corrosion [1].
