- 9. The process which comprises treating at least part of the surface of a metal with the composition of claim 1.
- 10. The process of claim 9 wherein the composition is applied to the metal surface as a solution in an organic solvent, as an aqueous emulsion or as an aqueous emulsion of a solution of the composition in an organic solvent.
- 11. The process of claim 9 wherein the composition is applied to the metal surface in a surface coating composition.
- 12. A metal at least part of one surface of which has been coated with the composition of claim 1.
- 13. The composition of claim 5 wherein the weight ratio of anhydride to hydroxy-oxime is from 10:1 to 1:10, the anhydride is a polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride and the hydroxy-oxime is 2-hydroxy-5-nonlybenzaldoxime.
- 14. A composition comprising:
- (a) an anhydride of the formula: ##STR8## and (b) a hydroxy-oxime which contains the moiety, ##STR9## wherein: R is a long chain hydrocarbyl radical which is linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated and has a molecular weight of at least 100;
- X is hydrogen; and
- the weight ratio of (a) to (b) is from 10:1 to 1:10.
