This invention relates generally to compositions and methods for the formation of protective, corrosion-inhibiting pigments without the use of chromium in the hexavalent oxidation state or lead in the tetravalent oxidation state. More particularly, this invention relates to non-toxic, corrosion-inhibiting pigments based on trivalent and tetravalent manganese and methods of making and using the same.
Inhibiting the initiation, growth, and extent of corrosion is a significant part of component and systems design for the successful long-term use of metal objects. Uniform physical performance and safety margins of a part, a component, or an entire system can be compromised by corrosion. Aluminum, zinc, iron, magnesium, titanium and their alloys tend to corrode rapidly in the presence of water due to their low oxidation-reduction (redox) potentials. The high strength 2000 and 7000 series of aluminum alloys are used extensively in aircraft and are very sensitive to corrosive attack. Materials such as steels and carbon fibers with higher redox potentials will form a galvanic couple in water and promote corrosive attack when located near light metal alloys such as aluminum.
A bare metal surface or one that has been conversion coated, phosphated, sealed, rinsed, or otherwise treated will be protected by the application of a primer paint with a corrosion inhibiting pigment. As used herein, the term “pigment” means chemically active compounds with the ability to inhibit corrosion at a distance, rather than simple colorants or opacifiers. Oxidative compounds that are effective as corrosion inhibitors tend to be highly colored and/or opaque. An effective corrosion inhibiting pigment has throwing power and can protect exposed base metal in a scratch or flaw by oxidizing and passivating it at a distance during aqueous corrosion when dispersed in a suitable carrier phase. These compounds are usually solids or liquids that are typically dispersed in a liquid carrier or binder system such as a paint or wash. These compounds may also be used to help inhibit corrosion without a significant liquid carrier using an integral binder and/or a low-volatile application method. Barrier layer formers such as sol-gel coatings or polymeric films are also used, but they tend to have no inherent oxidizing character and no appreciable throwing power and fail to protect the metal surface when the film is breached.
Pigments that contain hexavalent chromium (CrVI) compounds are the de facto standard for high-performance corrosion inhibiting paints and coatings for metal protection and are a typical corrosion inhibitor used to protect aluminum, zinc, magnesium, iron, titanium, copper and their alloys. Zinc (C.I. Pigment Yellow 36) and strontium (C.I. Pigment Yellow 32) chromate pigments are typically used, although higher-solubility calcium and magnesium chromates have also seen some limited use as pigments. The coating vehicles of these pigments include alkyd-type primers, acrylic primers, and elastomeric sealants, among others. Some transition metal chromate pigments (e.g., complexed with copper, iron, manganese, or cobalt) and organic chromate pigments (e.g., bound with nitrogenous compounds such as guanidinium) have been used in protective coating systems. Barium or lead chromates have also been used as corrosion inhibitors, as well as colorants. Variations in chromate speciation (i.e., what the chromate ions are bound to) will result in significant differences in protection when used as corrosion-inhibiting pigments, due to differences in chromate solubility.
A clear correlation between performance and solubility of chromate pigments has been shown. However, oxidizing chromates can be dangerous to use as corrosion inhibitors if they are not delivered in sufficient quantity in a timely manner to the location of a coating breach. The chromate composition was far more important to the corrosion inhibiting performance of the primer film than the organic coating composition.
A principle use of zinc and strontium chromate pigments is in wash- or etch-primer formulations for aluminum protection. Wash- or etch-primers, which have been used since the 1940s, represent one of the harshest application conditions for chromate pigments. Wash-primers are applied to metal surfaces under acidic conditions where the primer is cured as a corrosion inhibiting film. Chromate pigment powders dispersed in an alcohol/resin base mixture are combined with an aqueous phosphoric acid diluent solution. The acid roughens the metal surface and initiates cross-linking of the resin to form a pigment-filled polymeric film. The chromate pigment may also be dispersed in other carriers that are not as harsh as the wash primer. However, if a corrosion-inhibiting pigment can survive the harsh conditions of acid diluent, then it can usually be successfully incorporated within other paint, polymeric, or barrier film systems for corrosion inhibition.
An important use of chromate pigments is in coil coating formulations for steel, zinc-coated steel, or aluminum sheet stock. Coil coatings can represent a challenging application environment for pigments in that cure temperatures for these paints can exceed 100 C. Corrosion-inhibiting pigments for these applications must exhibit both throwing power to inhibit corrosion and be thermally stable at elevated temperatures when incorporated into the paint.
Lead chromate pigments of various compositions are mostly used as colorants, although they are also used for corrosion protection, albeit often for different applications than zinc or strontium chromates. This is necessitated by the much lower solubility of lead chromate in comparison to these other chromates. The dark yellow lead chromate (PbCrO4, C.I. Pigment Yellow 34) exhibits a solubility of approximately 10−7 moles/liter Cr+6, whereas the darker basic lead chromate (PbCrO4.PbO, C.I. Pigment Orange 21) exhibits slightly lower solubility in water. In addition, lead chromate can be combined with other lead compounds to alter the spectral or solubility characteristics. For example, the lemon yellow lead silicochromate (PbCrO4.PbSiO3) and reddish lead molybdate-chromate (PbCrO4.PbMoO4, C.I. Pigment Red 104) are representative examples. [Note: This same situation exists for zinc chromate pigments such as ZnCrO4, ZnCrO4.Zn(OH)2, and ZnCrO4(OH).Zn(OH)2, wherein increased basicity leads to lowering of the solubility.]
While lead chromate can be used in some of the same coating vehicles as zinc or strontium chromate (i.e., alkyd-type primers), the much lower solubility of lead chromate permits its use in binder systems for which zinc or strontium chromate would be unsuitable. For example, lead chromate is often used in oil-based paints (i.e., linseed oil) wherein greater than 75% by weight of the paint system is pigment. The mechanistic action of the divalent lead ion present in the lead chromate pigments is discussed below.
Pigments that contain tetravalent lead (PbIV) are also used extensively in coatings for metal protection, especially for steels and cast irons. The most notable PbIV pigment is red lead (Pb3O4, C.I. Pigment Red 105). Red lead is compositionally equivalent to lead plumbate [(Pb2+)2(PbO44−)], wherein only one of the constituent lead atoms is in the tetravalent oxidation state, while the other two are present as the more common divalent species. The PbVI solubility for this compound is a remarkably low 10−17 moles/liter Pb+4 (Glasstone, J. Chem. Soc. 121: 1456-69, 1922), implying an extremely low release rate of PbIV. Red lead is used primarily in alkyd-type primers as well as oil-based paints such as those containing linseed oil.
Calcium plumbate (Ca2PbO4, Caldiox™) is another representative example of a corrosion-inhibiting pigment containing PbIV. Due to its higher solubility in comparison to red lead, calcium plumbate is most frequently used for applications where a quicker release of oxidizing ions is necessary for protection, such as on galvanized steel. Calcium plumbate is most frequently used in alkyd-type or acrylic primers.
The use of hexavalent chromium or tetravalent lead pigments allows a broad range of service conditions to be addressed by tailoring the solubility of the pigment to the application needs. Very low solubility pigments, such as red lead, employ other corrosion-inhibiting mechanisms in addition to oxidative passivation. The divalent lead ions present in red lead (and even lead chromate) have been observed to form “lead soaps” after long storage when the pigment is used in conjunction with oil paints, especially those comprised of linseed oil. “Lead soaps” are reaction products between the alkaline divalent lead ions and the long-chain carboxylic acids present (i.e., oleates, linoleates, linolenates, palmitates, and stearates). This indicates that even though these pigments exhibit low solubility in water, the constituent ions are still chemically active, but less than their more soluble cousins. The divalent lead ions form insoluble compounds with corrosive anions such as sulfate, and low-solubility compounds with other corrosive ions such as chloride, thereby effectively removing them from the corroding system. For the heavier, more insoluble lead pigments such as red lead and basic lead chromate, the inhibiting action is due to both the oxidative tetravalent lead or hexavalent chromium ions, and the ability of the divalent lead ions to ‘capture’ (insolubilize) corrosive anions such as sulfate.
Significant efforts have been made in government and industry to replace CrVI and PbIV with other metals for corrosion-inhibiting applications due to toxicity, environmental, and regulatory considerations. An effective replacement for hexavalent chromate or tetravalent lead pigment needs to have throwing power for self-healing coating breeches. Throwing power is the ability of a highly oxidized ion, such as hexavalent chromium or tetravalent lead, to oxidize and passivate the exposed bare metal in a small scratch or flaw.
A number of materials have been introduced as corrosion-inhibiting replacement pigments for tetravalent lead- or hexavalent chromium-based compounds. Commercially available corrosion inhibiting pigments including compounds such as molybdates, phosphates, silicates, cyanamides, and borates that have no inherent oxidizing character have been used as alternatives to chromate pigments. Coatings that contain these materials can effectively inhibit corrosion as barrier films until the coating is breached, as by a scratch or other flaw. Films or coatings that do not contain oxidizing species can actually enhance corrosion on a surface after failure due to the effects of crevice corrosion.
Manganese is one non-toxic, non-regulated metal which has been considered as a chromium or lead replacement. Manganese (like chromium or lead) exhibits more than one oxidation state (Mn+2, Mn+3, and Mn+4). In addition, the oxidation-reduction potential is comparable to that of CrVI or PbIV in acidic solutions. For example, in acid solution: Mn+2
Mn+3
Cr+3
Pb+2
The MnIV and MnIII ions are very good oxidizing species with oxidation-reduction potentials of +1.65, V and +1.49, V (at pH 0), respectively. The hydroxyl and oxygen liberated from water when MnIV or MnIII is reduced will oxidize nearby bare metal. This results in a passivated metal surface if sufficient oxygen is released. The potential required to reduce tetravalent or trivalent manganese to divalent manganese is only 0.29 or 0.13 volts greater than that needed to add three electrons to reduce CrVI to trivalent chromium (CrIII). Although neither MnIV or MnIII match PbIV in terms of redox potential, neither is significantly lower and so comparable passivation of metal is achieved. MnII is formed during corrosion inhibition by the oxidation of base metal in the presence of MnIV or MnIII and water. MnII is similar to CrIII in that neither is particularly effective as redox-based corrosion inhibitors.
A number of pigments using manganese have been reported in the literature over the years, but none approach the general performance or utility of PbIV- or CrVI-based pigments. For example, Manganese Violet is a colorant composed of MnII pyrophosphate with no oxidizing characteristics.
A number of compounds have been described as corrosion-inhibiting agents, including organic mercapto and thio compounds, cyclic tetraaza compounds, aminophosphonic acid, and triazinedithiols and triazinetrithiols. Other compounds have been described as corrosion inhibiting when complexed with manganese, typically in the divalent charge state. Among these compounds are porphyrin derivatives, tetraaza organic compounds, phosphoric and phosphonic acids, naphthenates, amidosulfonic acids, and amino acids. However, the pigments formed from these compounds provide only limited corrosion protection and do not approach the benefit derived from the use of hexavalent chromium.
In addition, the formation of manganese-containing pigments in which the manganese is complexed with ligands such as hydrazones, —O bidentates, azomethines, phthalocyanines, azo and disazo complexes, N—S bidentates, oximes, tetraaza complexes, porphyrins, 1,2-dithiolates, and semicarbazones, has also been described. However, these compounds do not use tetravalent or trivalent manganese and are not used for anticorrosive applications.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,416,868 to Sullivan, et al. describes the use of alkaline earth-manganese oxides as pigments, wherein the alkaline earth is selected from Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba. The pigments are described as being colorants and as resisting heat build-up due to infrared reflectance. Corrosion inhibiting characteristics of these compositions are not discussed or claimed. Additional manganese-containing colorants, frits, and ceramic pigments with no discussed or claimed anticorrosive properties are identified in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,159,207 to Nuss, 3,832,205 to Lowery, and 5,254,162 to Speer, et al., and German Patent Nos. DE 41 31 548 and DE 40 02 564, both to Speer, et al.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,469,521 to Salensky describes a corrosion-inhibiting pigment formed by sintering manganomanganic oxide (Mn3O4) with oxides of calcium, zinc, barium, magnesium, or strontium.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,388,118 to Eppler describes a corrosion-inhibiting black pigment formed by calcining calcium or strontium oxides or carbonates with manganese oxides. The formed calcium manganese oxide or strontium manganese oxide pigments have very low oil absorption and high tint strength.
German Patents Nos. 26 42 049, 28 15 306, and 26 25 401 to Hund, et al. describe the use of calcined calcium/iron/aluminum/manganese oxides as corrosion-inhibiting pigments.
Manganese oxides themselves have been described as being constituents in corrosion-inhibiting formulations. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,417,007 and 4,417,008 to Salensky, et al. as well as Belgian Patent Nos. BE 893,677 to Chopra, et al. and BE 893,676 to Salensky, et al. describe manganomanganic oxide (Mn3O4) as a constituent in a solvent-based paint formulation comprised of resin binders and additional extenders, fillers, and solvents. Manganese dioxide (MnO2) is also described as an anticorrosive constituent within formulations in French Patent No. 2,348,257 to Zatmann and German Patent No. DE 39 35 478 to Ortlepp.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,788,411 to Skinner describes a paint composition described to prevent corrosion of welds. This composition is described as being composed primarily of zinc dust, with manganomanganic oxide (Mn3O4) and organic binder included. The zinc pigment is described as being especially important for corrosion protection.
To date, no truly effective replacements have been developed for pigments based on CrVI or PbIV. Accordingly, the need remains for improved corrosion-protective pigments composed of currently unregulated and/or nontoxic materials which have an effectiveness, ease of application, and performance comparable to current CrVI or PbIV pigment formulations, and for methods of making and using the same.
This need is met by the present invention which represents a significant improvement in the formulation of non-toxic pigments through the use of trivalent or tetravalent manganese. Although the present invention is not limited to specific advantages or functionality, it is noted that the trivalent and/or tetravalent manganese pigments of the present invention have been demonstrated with accelerated corrosion testing to retard corrosion to a higher degree than prior art manganese pigments and other alternatives to CrVI- or PbIV-based corrosion inhibiting pigments. These pigments have been tested to inhibit corrosion to the same degree as zinc, strontium, and lead chromate-based CrVI pigments, as well as red lead or calcium plumbate Pb IV pigments. The raw materials are not exotic, are relatively inexpensive, and do not require complicated synthesis methods.
The present invention utilizes “valency stabilization” of the trivalent or tetravalent manganese ion in the as-formed pigments to achieve corrosion resistance comparable to the more soluble chromate-based CrVI pigments. More specifically, in order to achieve a high degree of corrosion resistance, a MnIII-based or MnIV-based pigment must exhibit the following characteristics:
1) A corrosion inhibiting pigment must contain a suitable source of oxidizing species. These species quickly oxidize bare metal and form a protective surface if bare metal is exposed in a coating breach.
2) A valence stabilizer for the trivalent or tetravalent manganese ion is necessary to ensure that the ion will not be reduced too quickly to the divalent state when released into solution or in the coating. The importance of stabilizing the manganese ion in its trivalent or tetravalent charge state was not previously recognized as critical to the corrosion inhibiting function of a pigment.
3) The MnIII or MnIV pigment powder must be a “sparingly soluble”, “low solubility”, or “insoluble” compound in water when dispersed in its binder-carrier system. If the pigment is too insoluble in a selected coating system that requires inhibitor release, an insufficient amount of corrosion inhibitor will be delivered to a flaw. A poorly formed, incomplete oxide layer produced by a pigment of too low solubility for a given binder-carrier system will not only fail to inhibit corrosion, but can promote crevice corrosion and result in locally enhanced corrosion rates.
The reservoir of oxidizing ions can be quickly flushed away if the pigment is too soluble, and typical corrosion will begin. Highly soluble pigments are also known to result in osmotic blistering of paint films and coatings. Trivalent or tetravalent manganese pigments that are too soluble can also be responsible for osmotic blistering depending on the aqueous permeability the carrier film.
It is difficult to place specific solubility values to these optimum “sparingly soluble”, “low solubility”, or “insoluble” pigment materials because there appear to be several variables associated with what makes an optimum anticorrosive pigment material (e.g., specific resin/binder system in which it is placed). The particle size and particle shape has been observed to noticeably affect the solubility of “low solubility” pigments such as lead chromate (e.g., May and Kolthoff, J. Phys. & Colloid Chem. 52: 836-54, 1948). The solubility of the candidate trivalent or tetravalent manganese pigment must be matched to the hexavalent chromium or tetravalent lead pigment that it is replacing (Table 1), such as zinc or strontium chromate, or calcium plumbate. If the trivalent or tetravalent manganese pigment exhibits a solubility in water of between about 1×10−4 and about 1×10−1 moles per liter of trivalent or tetravalent manganese sparingly soluble, then appreciable corrosion inhibition will be observed in the binder systems that typically incorporate zinc or strontium chromates (or calcium plumbate). Pigments that incorporate stabilized trivalent or tetravalent manganese compounds that fall outside of this particular range may also exhibit some corrosion inhibition as zinc or strontium chromate (or calcium plumbate) replacements. For example, pigments with solubilities as high as 1×100 moles per liter or as low as 1×10−5 moles per liter of trivalent or tetravalent manganese at standard temperature and pressure (about 25° C. and about 760 Torr) will exhibit some corrosion resistance in binder systems that currently incorporate zinc or strontium chromate (or lead plumbate), although not as great as those compounds which fall within the optimum solubility range. A solubility range from 1×10−6 to 1×10−8 moles per liter trivalent or tetravalent manganese low solubility is desirable for manganese pigments to inhibit corrosion in binder systems where lead chromate pigments are currently used. Pigments that incorporate trivalent or tetravalent manganese that fall slightly outside of this range may also inhibit corrosion as lead chromate replacements. For example, pigments with solubilities as high as 1×10−5 moles per liter or as low as 1×10−9 moles per liter of trivalent or tetravalent manganese at standard temperature and pressure (about 25° C. and about 760 Torr) insoluble will exhibit some corrosion resistance in binder systems that currently incorporate lead chromate, although not as great as those compounds which fall within the optimum solubility range. Lastly, any trivalent or tetravalent manganese pigment that exhibits a solubility lower than 1×10−9, but higher than 1×10−17 (based on red lead solubility) moles per liter of trivalent or tetravalent manganese at standard temperature and pressure (about 25° C. and about 760 Torr) will exhibit some corrosion resistance in binder systems that currently incorporate red lead. Under special conditions (i.e., very carefully controlled particle sizes), trivalent or tetravalent manganese compounds with solubilities as high as 1×10−7 moles per liter trivalent or tetravalent manganese can be used as red lead replacements. The solubility characteristics of the trivalent or tetravalent manganese in the pigment can be controlled through the use of valence stabilizer materials that form compounds that fall within the desired solubility ranges. A “controlled release” of trivalent or tetravalent manganese can thus be achieved similar to the “timed release” of hexavalent chromium or tetravalent lead in the “state-of-the-art” systems.
4) The “valence stabilizer” optionally helps establish an electrostatic barrier layer around the cation-stabilizer compound in aqueous solutions. The nature and character of the electrostatic double-layer surrounding the cation-stabilizer compound may be controlled and modified by careful selection of stabilizer species. In general, the electrostatic double layer formed acts to protect the cation from premature reaction with hydronium, hydroxide, and other ions in solution. The formation of electrostatic barrier layers also helps to impede the passage of corrosive ions through the binder phase to the metallic surface.
5) The trivalent or tetravalent manganese pigment material may also exhibit ion exchange behavior towards corrosion promoting ions, particularly alkali species. This optional consideration can be important because alkali ions are aggressive aqueous corrosion enhancers in alloys which contain metals such as aluminum, magnesium, or zinc.
6) The manganese/valence stabilizer complex can optionally exhibit a color change between the trivalent or tetravalent and divalent manganese oxidation states. This color change can act as a metric to determine when the “throwing power” associated with the pigments is no longer available, and when the paint system in which it is contained needs to be replaced. For this reason, it is also optionally important that the color of these pigments that exhibit a color change between divalent and trivalent or tetravalent oxidation states that is light-fast (i.e., not changed by strong light).
The effectiveness of an oxidizing species is a function of its individual oxidation-reduction potential, and more highly oxidized species exhibit greater corrosion protection, although lower stability. A stabilizer is necessary to provide a timed release of the inhibitor ion, as well as being needed to ensure that the oxidative strength will not be reduced too rapidly. Thus, a valence stabilizer is required for the trivalent or tetravalent manganese ion because of its reactivity and to produce controlled trivalent or tetravalent manganese solubilities. The corrosion resistance of a number of aluminum alloys as tested using both ASTM B-117 and ASTM G-85 has been enhanced through the use of stabilized trivalent and/or tetravalent manganese pigments. Not only do these optimized pigments retard corrosion to a higher degree than other prior art manganese pigments, but their corrosion resistance is comparable to that of hexavalent chromium or tetravalent lead systems.
In one aspect, the invention comprises a mechanistic and chemical approach to the production of corrosion-inhibiting pigments using trivalent or tetravalent manganese. This approach uses stabilizer materials which form compounds with trivalent or tetravalent manganese that match the observed solubilities of hexavalent chromium or tetravalent lead pigments currently in use (see Table 1). The solubility ranges reported provide a release of trivalent or tetravalent manganese at a rate slow enough that most binder systems will provide protection for an extended period of time and fast enough to inhibit corrosion during conventional accelerated corrosion testing methods such as ASTM B-117 and G-85. Compounds that fall slightly outside of the solubility ranges shown in Table 1 may also provide some corrosion-inhibiting activity under certain conditions and binder systems. However, pigment compounds with aqueous solubilities far outside of the target ranges are likely to be inefficient corrosion inhibitors. Solubility control can be achieved using organic or inorganic stabilizer materials.
In an optional aspect, the invention is the achievement of corrosion-resistant pigments using trivalent or tetravalent manganese by the use of stabilizer materials which form compounds that exhibit electrostatic dipoles to form electrostatic barrier layers composed of ions such as hydronium (H3O+) or hydroxide (OH−) in the presence of water. The formation of these electrostatic barrier layers through the use of stabilizer materials can be achieved using organic or inorganic materials.
In another optional aspect, the invention is the achievement of corrosion-resistant pigments using trivalent or tetravalent manganese by the use of stabilizer materials which form compounds that exhibit ion exchange behavior towards alkali ions. The formation of this ion exchange behavior can be achieved through the use of organic or inorganic materials.
In yet another optional aspect, the decomposition temperature of the trivalent or tetravalent manganese/valence stabilizer complex upon which the pigment is based should be above 100° C. In addition, the melting temperature of the complex is typically above 50° C., although lower-melting complexes may have some applications.
In still another optional aspect, the manganese/valence stabilizer complex upon which the pigment is based should exhibit a color change between the trivalent or tetravalent and divalent oxidation states. This allows for a visual metric of when the pigment has lost its “throwing power”, and the binder system within which it is contained must be replaced. Therefore, it is desirable that the color of these pigments be light-fast (unchanged by exposure to strong light).
These MnIII and MnIV compounds represent a substantial performance improvement over prior art related to pigment alternatives used to replace CrVI-based and PbIV-based corrosion inhibiting pigments. They also provide a capability to tailor the corrosion inhibiting pigment to the carrier system. This allows current binder/resin systems used for chromates or plumbates to be used for MnIII- or MnIV-based systems without modification. Likewise, new binder/carrier/resin systems with improved physical properties can be developed without the restriction of compatibility with zinc, strontium, or lead chromate; or plumbate pigments.
The raw materials needed for the solutions used to form these coatings are relatively inexpensive. The pigments do not use exotic materials or require complicated synthesis methods.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide non-toxic, corrosion-protective pigments based on trivalent or tetravalent manganese and for methods of making and using the same. These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description of the invention. It is noted that the scope of the claims is defined by the recitations therein and not by the specific discussion of features and advantages set forth in the present description.
A. Starting Materials
Four general starting materials are used for the preparation of trivalent or tetravalent manganese corrosion-inhibiting pigments. These include a manganese source, an oxidation source (if the precursor is a divalent manganese salt), a valence stabilizer source, and optional additional solubility control agents.
1) Manganese Source
Manganese is a nontoxic, non-regulated replacement metal for chromium or lead that exhibits more than one oxidation state (MnII, MnIII, and MnIV). The oxidation reduction potential for MnIII-MnII is comparable to that of the CrVI-CrIII couple, and the oxidation-reduction potential for MnIV-MnIII is comparable to the PbIV-PbII couple. The ionic radii of MnIII (61 pm) and MnIV (54 pm) are slightly larger than the CrVI ion (44 pm), and they will have a correspondingly lower charge density (electrostatic field) per ion as compared to hexavalent chromium. Conversely, both MnIII and MnIV are smaller than PbIV (78 pm), and have a higher charge density (electrostatic field) per ion compared to tetravalent lead. These factors are important in the selection and design of trivalent or tetravalent manganese compounds that match or exceed the performance of hexavalent chromium or tetravalent lead pigments.
Unlike most other high valence metal (HVM) systems, trivalent and/or tetravalent manganese ions exhibit remarkable stability under many environmental conditions. The numerous examples of manganese minerals that contain MnIII or MnIV are evidence of this stability (see Table 2 below). Trivalent or tetravalent manganese-containing minerals could conceptually be used as corrosion-inhibiting pigments. (However, natural impurities contained therein would alter the compositions so that the pigment materials would exhibit altered solubility characteristics.) The trivalent or tetravalent manganese minerals shown in Table 2 could be used as precursors for the production of anticorrosive manganese pigments for lead chromate or red lead replacements.
a) Manganese Sources for “Sparingly Soluble” Pigments
Zinc and strontium chromates, as well as calcium plumbate, are “sparingly soluble” in water, and are typically formed via precipitation from a liquid media (i.e., water), with subsequent particle sizing and powder processing. Trivalent or tetravalent manganese pigments to be used for the same applications as zinc and strontium chromates, or calcium plumbate, are produced in a similar fashion. This is because the higher solubility requirements (1×10−1 to 1×10−4 moles/liter inhibitor ion) for these pigments necessitate much higher release rates of MnIII or MnIV than can typically be achieved by calcined or “fired” materials. MnIII or MnIV compounds that can achieve high solubilities and release rates require special valence stabilizer and/or solubility control agents. The easiest preparative method for these constituents is via precipitation processes.
Manganese precursors for “sparingly soluble” pigments can be nearly any water, alcohol, or hydrocarbon soluble manganese compound in which the manganese is in the divalent, trivalent, tetravalent, or heptavalent oxidation state. Water-soluble precursors are typically used. Inorganic divalent manganese precursor compounds include, but are not limited to, manganese nitrate, manganese sulfate, manganese perchlorate, manganese chloride, manganese fluoride, manganese bromide, manganese iodide, manganese bromate, manganese chlorate, and complex fluorides such as manganese fluosilicate, manganese fluotitanate, manganese fluozirconate, manganese fluoborate, and manganese fluoaluminate. Organometallic divalent manganese precursor compounds include, but are not limited to, manganese formate, manganese acetate, manganese propionate, manganese butyrate, manganese valerate, manganese benzoate, manganese glycolate, manganese lactate, manganese tartronate, manganese malate, manganese tartrate, manganese citrate, manganese benzenesulfonate, manganese thiocyanate, and manganese acetylacetonate.
The manganese precursor for “sparingly soluble” pigments may also be a compound with manganese already in the trivalent or tetravalent oxidation state. A representative example is manganese III acetylacetonate. The manganese precursor for “sparingly soluble” pigments may be a compound with the manganese in the heptavalent oxidation state (permanganates). Heptavalent manganese precursors include, but are not limited to: potassium permanganate, sodium permanganate, lithium permanganate, ammonium permanganate, magnesium permanganate, calcium permanganate, strontium permanganate, barium permanganate, zinc permanganate, ferric permanganate, nickel permanganate, copper permanganate, cobalt permanganate, cerium permanganate, lanthanum permanganate, yttrium permanganate, and aluminum permanganate.
b) Manganese Sources for “Low Solubility” or “Insoluble” Pigments
Lead chromates are typically formed via precipitation from aqueous solution, while red lead pigments are produced by firing PbII oxide (PbO) in an oxidizing environment at approximately 400° C. Trivalent or tetravalent manganese compounds to be used as lead chromate or red lead replacements can be formed in two ways: 1) precipitating a manganese compound from a liquid medium and then firing or calcining the resultant precipitate; or 2) calcining or firing a manganese-containing compound or mixture using insoluble precursors. The commonality between these two options is firing, calcining, or otherwise heating a manganese-containing compound or mixture. The only manganese compounds suitable as replacements for lead chromate or red lead pigments (<1×10−5 moles/liter inhibitor ion) are those produced by calcining or heating manganese compounds with or without other additives.
Soluble manganese sources for precipitation prior to calcining, firing, or otherwise heating are similar to those described above for “sparingly soluble” pigments. Insoluble manganese-containing compounds useful as precursors include MnII, MnIII, MnIV, and some MnVII compounds. Insoluble divalent manganese compounds useful as precursors include, but are not limited to: manganese oxide (manganosite), manganese hydroxide (pyrochroite), manganese carbonate (rhodochrosite), manganese silicate (rhodonite, tephroite, manganhumite, or manganjustite), manganese sulfide (alabandite or hauerite), manganese phosphate (reddingite or hureaulite), manganese oxalate, and manganese borate. Insoluble trivalent manganese or tetravalent manganese compounds suitable as precursors include manganese dioxide (MnO2), manganomanganic oxide (Mn3O4), manganese sesquioxide (Mn2O3), lithiated manganese spinel (LiMn2O4), and manganese III hydroxide (MnOOH). The MnIII and MnIV containing minerals described in Table 1 are also useful insoluble trivalent and tetravalent manganese precursors.
MnIII and MnIV are capable of providing corrosion protection at a distance to a metal surface in the presence of coating flaws such as scrapes, scratches, and holes because of their throwing power. The solubility of the MnIII or MnIV compound needs to be tailored to suit the needs of the protection system and must be neither too high, nor too low in that system. The protective system includes the binder phase, assorted modifiers, and under- and over-coatings. The system needs to be performance matched to its intended usage environment. Timely release and throwing power of the inhibitor are critical to protective performance, but controlled tailoring of these has not been taught in prior art. Likewise, the body of systematic chemistry data required to control these properties has not been readily available in a form useful to help design coatings. The present invention outlines how to stabilize MnIII and MnIV with a variety of materials so the MnIII and MnIV may be adapted to a multitude of pigment applications with specific compatibility requirements.
2) Oxidation Source
If MnIII and/or MnIV pigment compounds are produced via precipitation, an oxidizing species will typically be included in the synthesis solution if divalent manganese compounds are used as precursors for MnIII and MnIV. Otherwise, a post-precipitation oxidation step will be required. Additional amounts of oxidizer may be added to help control and maintain a desired amount of MnIII/MnIV in the pigment solution by reoxidizing MnIII/MnIV that has become reduced. The trivalent manganese ion is an exceptionally good oxidizing species with an oxidation-reduction potential of +1.49, V at a pH of 0 for the MnIII-MnII couple in water, and the tetravalent manganese ion is an even stronger oxidizing species, with a redox potential of +1.65 V under similar conditions. Strong oxidizers are required because of the high potential of their redox reaction. The oxidizers may be gases, liquids, or solids. Solid oxidizers are typically used for this application due to ease of handling and reagent measurement. Other starting materials (manganese source and stabilizer source) will also frequently be solids. Liquid oxidizers may be used, but handling and accurate process metering have proven difficult. Gaseous oxidizers may be the most cost effective and chemically efficient on a large scale, but are also the most problematic due to handling and venting concerns.
Oxidizers suited for the purpose of producing and maintaining the manganese ion in the trivalent or tetravalent charge state include but are not restricted to peroxides and peroxo compounds (including superoxides, persulfates, perborates, pernitrates, perphosphates, percarbonates, persilicates, peraluminates, pertitanates, perzirconates, permolybdates, pertungstates, pervanadates, and organic peroxyacid derivatives), ozone, hypochlorites, chlorates, perchlorates, nitrates, nitrites, vanadates, iodates, hypobromites, chlorites, bromates, permanganates, periodates, and dissolved gases such as oxygen, fluorine, or chlorine. Inorganic and organic derivatives of these compounds may be used. Typical oxidizers for this use are peroxides, persulfates, perbenzoates, periodates, bromates, hypochlorites, gaseous dissolved oxygen, and even the oxygen content of air. In general, any inorganic, organic, or combination species with an oxidation potential of +1.0, V or greater (at a pH of 1) will be capable of oxidizing divalent manganese to the trivalent or tetravalent oxidation state.
Oxidized manganese may also be produced in solution by electrolytic oxidation. However, this approach may not be economically feasible due to the energy costs associated with electrolytic oxidation. Chemical oxidation, such as that described above, currently offers the best-value approach for oxidizing manganese to the trivalent or tetravalent state.
It is also possible to produce a divalent manganese/valence stabilizer complex, and then apply an oxidizer to oxidize divalent manganese to trivalent or tetravalent manganese. This, however, is less typical because the percentage of trivalent or tetravalent manganese will decrease from the outside to the interior of the pigment particle.
Oxygen (including the oxygen content of air) is the most useful oxidizer source for the production of “low solubility” or “insoluble” trivalent or tetravalent manganese pigment compounds via calcining, firing, or otherwise heating processes. The control of temperature, partial pressure of oxygen, flowrate, and even particle size allows the oxidation state of the manganese in the sintered particle to be divalent, trivalent, or tetravalent. Other oxidizing gasses such as NOx, SOx, chlorine, fluorine, or ozone can also be used, but these are less desirable due to their environmental impact.
3) Valence Stabilizers
Manganese is effective as an oxidative corrosion inhibitor if it can be supplied in sufficient quantities in the trivalent and/or tetravalent charge-state when brought into contact with unprotected bare metal. Corrosion resistance comparable to that of CrVI or PbIV can be achieved by the use of MnIII and/or MnIV oxidizer ions in pigment compounds. Valence stabilizers are materials that, when assembled, modify the rate of reduction and the solubility of the MnIII and/or MnIV ions. Valence stabilization has not been previously recognized as an important consideration in the development of effective corrosion inhibiting pigments. Stabilization helps avoid reduction and premature conversion of the ion to the divalent charge-state during compound formation, carrier incorporation, application, and exposure to a corrosive environment. Stabilizers control solubility, mobility, ion exchange, binder compatibility, and the degree of surface wetting. The exact solubility of this compound may be modified by species released into solution by the dissolving metal surface or by the subsequent addition of solubility control agents. A variety of inorganic and organic stabilizers are available that can serve to control solubility. The stabilizer may also act as an ion-exchange host and/or trap for alkali or halide ions in solution.
Valence stabilization is necessary for MnIII and MnIV due to the reactivity of these ions with water. Unlike MnII, which can readily be solubilized in water, MnIII and MnIV ions rapidly react with water, producing elemental oxygen. Valence stabilization is particularly useful for the more soluble MnIII and MnIV compounds (i.e., >1×10−5 moles/liter of inhibitor ion) where more rapid release rates of these ions are necessary. For example, manganese dioxide (MnO2) is reported to exhibit a solubility in water between 2.4×10−5 and 4.0×10−7 moles/liter Mn+4, depending upon pH (Swain, et al., Anal. Chem. 47(7): 1135-7, 1975 and Savenko, Geokhimiya (3) pp. 416-9, 1985). Similarly, manganese sesquioxide (Mn2O3) is reported to exhibit a solubility in water between 3.3×10−8 and 5.1×10−9 moles/liter Mn+3, depending upon temperature (Ampelogova, et al., Radiokhimiya 31(4): 160-5, 1989). For these low solubility compounds, oxygen (O) is a satisfactory “valence stabilizer” to achieve the desired solubilities and release rates. Specialized valence stabilizers are necessary for MnIII and MnIV compounds of solubilities higher than 1×10−5 moles/liter Mn+3 or Mn+4.
The need for “valence stabilization” of trivalent or tetravalent manganese for corrosion inhibition has only been indirectly noted in the general corrosion literature as a synergistic enhancement. Corrosion inhibition behavior of nitrogen-containing organics such as aniline or pyridine has been reported to be enhanced with the addition of manganese. The exact nature of this “synergistic enhancement” has never been adequately explained. These “synergistic” mixtures of nitrogen-containing organics and manganese have also been described as being “oxygen-scavengers”, and the organics are frequently observed to “chemisorb” onto the substrate piece being protected.
This enhancement can be explained by the “valence stabilization” model of corrosion inhibition by trivalent or tetravalent manganese outlined here. Nitrogen-containing organics and manganese result in the formation of an organometallic complex where the central manganese ion can be stabilized in a higher oxidation state. The observed “oxygen-scavenging” phenomenon associated with dissolved oxygen in aqueous solutions is easily explained by the oxidation of stabilized divalent manganese to the trivalent or tetravalent state. “Sparingly soluble” MnIII or MnIV complexes containing these organics are responsible for the corrosion-inhibiting activity, and these organics will appear to be “adsorbed” or “chemisorbed” from solution onto the metal piece being protected due to precipitation.
The key to providing a useful source of trivalent or tetravalent manganese at a metal surface is the creation of a compound in which the MnIII or MnIV ion is shielded from premature reduction during and after pigment formation. The formation of pigments with the proper release rate of MnIII or MnIV ions is problematic because of the instability of MnIII and MnIV in solution. A valence stabilizer must assemble around MnIII or MnIV to form a compound in order to produce the active corrosion-inhibiting component in a pigment. It is difficult to place specific solubility values to these optimum sparingly soluble pigments because of the wide range of binder systems in which corrosion-inhibiting pigments are used.
In order to replace the zinc chromates, strontium chromate, or calcium plumbate pigments, a MnIII- or MnIV-stabilized compound with a solubility in water of between about 1×10−4 and about 1×10−1 moles per liter of trivalent or tetravalent manganese should exhibit appreciable corrosion inhibition when used as a primer pigment. This solubility range provides a release of trivalent or tetravalent manganese at a rate slow enough that protection will be provided for an extended period of time and fast enough to inhibit corrosion during conventional accelerated corrosion testing methods such as ASTM B-117 and G-85 for coatings that contain these pigments. Manganese compounds that fall outside of this particular solubility range may exhibit a small degree of corrosion inhibition in the binder systems that currently use the zinc or strontium chromate pigments. For example, compositions with solubilities as high as 1×100 moles per liter or as low as 1×10−5 moles per liter of trivalent or tetravalent manganese will exhibit some corrosion resistance, although they will not be as effective as those compounds within the optimum solubility range. A common MnIII compound (MnIII acetylacetonate) is too soluble to provide effective corrosion inhibition if incorporated into a binder system such as a paint. Other compounds, such as Mn3O4 as described in the prior art, will not serve as effective corrosion inhibiting pigments in the binder systems that currently use the zinc or strontium chromate pigments because they are too insoluble.
The needed solubility will be strongly dependent on the net aqueous solubility of overlying paints and coatings and their usage environment. For example, solubility tailoring would be useful in a situation where a protected substrate is suddenly immersed in seawater, or where a rubber sealant allows only limited water penetration. Adequate corrosion protection could be achieved through the formation of a trivalent or tetravalent manganese pigment compound that exhibits a higher solubility in water (e.g., 1×100 to 1×10−3 moles per liter MnIII or MnIV). A rapid release of protective trivalent or tetravalent manganese ions would happen at the expense of depleting the manganese quickly from the coating. Trivalent or tetravalent manganese pigments of lower solubilities (e.g., 5×10−5 to 1×10−3 moles per liter MnIII or MnIV) may also be useful in some situations (e.g., as paints in nearly pure deoxygenated water). The number and range of compound solubilities offered by valence stabilized MnIII and MnIV compounds allows the development of protective coating systems with broad performance and application ranges. This feature is not presently available even for CrVI based corrosion inhibiting pigments.
Any material in the synthesis bath which complexes with trivalent or tetravalent manganese (whether inorganic or organic) and which results in the formation of a MnIII- or MnIV-containing compound that exhibits solubilities within or near this solubility range can serve as a valence stabilizer for trivalent or tetravalent manganese. The assembly of a protective shell around the highly charged MnIII or MnIV and its associated oxygen and hydroxyl species can help control the rate at which the manganese is reduced and its oxygen is released. Proper selection of materials for forming the protective shell will allow solubility tailoring of the entire assembly to its intended application environment. Valence stabilizers described above may need some type of additional solubility control to optimize the performance of the trivalent or tetravalent manganese-valence stabilizer compound. Additional solubility control agents may be in the form of inorganic or organic compounds. Their use is optional rather than a requirement for effective valence stabilization and solubility control.
Trivalent or tetravalent manganese-containing compounds that are useful as replacements for lead chromate or red lead pigments require lower solubilities. A typical formula for a red lead paint is:
The majority of this paint system is pigment. If the pigment in this paint system exhibited excessive solubilities for this specific application, the coating would quickly be exhausted, leaving limited protection for the underlying metal.
An optimum solubility range from 1×10−6 to 1×10−8 moles per liter trivalent or tetravalent manganese is desirable for manganese pigments to inhibit corrosion in the binder systems that lead chromate pigments currently are used in. Pigments that incorporate trivalent or tetravalent manganese that fall slightly outside of this range may also inhibit corrosion as lead chromate replacements. For example, pigments with solubilities as high as 1×10−5 moles per liter or as low as 1×10−9 moles per liter of trivalent or tetravalent manganese at standard temperature and pressure (about 25° C. and about 760 Torr) will exhibit some corrosion resistance in binder systems that currently incorporate lead chromate, although not as great as those compounds which fall within the optimum solubility range.
Any trivalent or tetravalent manganese pigment that exhibits a solubility lower than 1×10−9 moles per liter of trivalent or tetravalent manganese at standard temperature and pressure (about 25° C. and about 760 Torr) will exhibit some corrosion resistance in binder systems that currently incorporate red lead. Under special conditions (i.e., very carefully controlled particle sizes), trivalent or tetravalent manganese compounds with solubilities as high as 1×10−7 moles per liter trivalent or tetravalent manganese can be used as red lead replacements.
As with the more soluble MnIII and MnIV compounds used as zinc or strontium chromate replacements, changes in pigment solubility can be achieved through the use of additional solubility control agents.
Several variables are associated with making optimized pigments. If the pigment is too insoluble for the specific application, then insufficient trivalent or tetravalent manganese is available to inhibit corrosion. Low solubility compounds that do not provide a sufficient amount of oxidation quickly enough to a coating breach may produce an incomplete oxide layer and thus an ineffective barrier film. If the manganese pigment is too soluble, it will be washed away quickly, and an incomplete thin oxide film will form that will not provide long-term corrosion protection, or osmotic blistering of the paint system may result. The formation of spotty or patchy oxides can promote localized crevice corrosion and can result in enhanced corrosion rates at the breach.
The traditional chromate pigments are used not only in alkyd resin systems (e.g., DoD-P-15328D Wash Primers), but also in acrylic systems (e.g., MIL-P-28577B Water-Borne Acrylic Primers), and even in sulfonated rubber sealants (e.g., MIL-PRF-81733D Sealing and Coating Compound). Tetravalent lead pigments are typically used in either oil-based (i.e., linseed oil) paint systems, although some are used in alkyd resin coatings. Fortunately, it is possible to tailor the MnIII and/or MnIV valence stabilizer compound pigment systems themselves to specific binder/solvent systems using solubility (cohesion) parameters. Solubility parameters define how well an inorganic or organometallic complex will disperse in a given resin/binder system. This represents a radical departure from traditional paint systems, in which the paint systems are configured to specific pigments.
The formation of an electrostatic double layer can be important for the effectiveness of a corrosion inhibitor once it is released into solution during corrosion. There are differences in anodic and cathodic polarization, solubility, and the saturated pH of aqueous solutions of various chromate or plumbate pigments. The formation of an electrostatic double layer around the pigment while in its carrier film will not be as important as when the species is in solution. For this reason, the development of an electrostatic double layer around the pigment is an optional consideration. For example, zinc chromate pigment-filled paint does not exhibit electrochemical inhibiting behavior. The carrier film typically behaves as a water impermeable barrier and will muffle the polar character of the pigment. The hexavalent chromium pigments SrCrO4 and ZnCrO4 have very small barrier layers associated with them, but they are effective as corrosion-inhibiting pigments. Optimized solubility for MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilizer compounds alone can result in corrosion resistance comparable to the state-of-the-art chromium pigments. The degree of polarization exhibited by the MnIII or MnIV ions will be less than the CrVI ion because of their larger ionic radius and lower charge-state, and they will not be as efficient in forming electrostatic double layers in aqueous solution. The valence stabilization of trivalent or tetravalent manganese should be optimized to achieve the highest degree of efficiency in both solubility control and polar character, in order to further enhance the corrosion resistance.
Conversely, because both the MnIII and MnIV ions are smaller than the PbIV ion, the degree of polarization exhibited by these ions will be greater than PbIV, and they will be more effective in forming electrostatic double layers in aqueous solution. In order to replace PbIV pigments, a lower degree of valence stabilization is therefore acceptable.
The nature and character of the “electrostatic double layer” surrounding the trivalent or tetravalent manganese/valence stabilizer compound may be controlled and modified by careful selection of organic or inorganic stabilizers. Characteristics such as the electrical dipole moment and the shape/conformation (for steric effects) of the stabilizer were found to influence the performance of the corrosion-inhibiting pigment. These stabilizer ions establish a protective electrostatic shell around the cation-stabilizer compound and gather additional layers of ions such as hydronium (H3O+) or hydroxide (OH−) about them. The size of the electrostatic double layer is a function of the electrostatic potential at the compound surface and is inversely proportional to the ionic strength of the surrounding solution. An electrostatic double layer will likely form in aqueous solution for compounds that can carry a charge, have a natural electrostatic dipole, or can have an induced dipole. However, these compounds do not normally act as corrosion inhibitors because they have not been optimized for that purpose.
The melting point and decomposition temperature of the pigment material are important. Trivalent or tetravalent manganese-valence stabilizer compounds that decompose below about 100° C. limit both their useful lifetimes and range of use. The melting temperature should be above about 50° C. to ensure that the liquid phase does not form during normal handling procedures. An additive may be needed for pigments with melting temperatures below about 50° C. Inert solid addendum materials need not have any inherent corrosion-inhibiting capability and are used to provide a base (support) that the pigment can absorb on or into. Oxides, phosphates, borates, silicates, and polymers are examples of support compounds that can be used. Low melting temperature pigments (below about 50° C.) can be used, but they require handling and processing different from higher melting temperature pigments. Liquid-phase corrosion inhibitors based on MnIII, MnIV, and CrVI pigments have been demonstrated to provide excellent performance as corrosion inhibitors in primer paint systems.
The corrosion-inhibiting pigments of the present invention can optionally exhibit a color change between oxidized species and divalent species. The implications of these color changes from an applications standpoint are significant. Color changes in the pigment material in use can be used as a metric to determine when the pigment no longer exhibits corrosion-inhibiting action as a result of depleting the oxidized ion. Changes in hue of the pigment can be used to determine how much service life remains for that pigment in terms of corrosion-inhibiting capacity. Valence based color change is an attribute that conventional chromate or plumbate pigments do not exhibit. The color change associated with their redox reaction of chromate or plumbate pigments is insignificant as the pigments are reduced and “depleted” of their corrosion-inhibitive capability. Thus, trivalent or tetravalent manganese/valence stabilizer combinations that exhibit these color changes are superior to chromium or lead in terms of providing an easily measured, easily observed metric to gauge remaining service life of the pigment. However, this color change should not be initiated by exposure to strong light. Light-fast pigments are therefore desirable for these indicator pigments.
The incorporation of the valence stabilizer (inorganic or organic) may optionally result in the formation of a MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilizer compound that also exhibits ion exchange behavior towards alkali ions. This is not a requirement of the MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilizer compound, and pigments that do not exhibit this phenomenon have been successfully demonstrated to inhibit corrosive attack. However, it is a desirable characteristic for enhanced corrosion resistance. Existing CrVI-based or PbIV-based pigment systems do not exhibit this behavior to any significant degree.
The design of suitable MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilizer compounds allows typical and less typical stabilizers to be identified. The general classes of compounds described below represent only a first approximation of whether a specific coordination compound will provide favorable or unfavorable properties in a MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilizer compound. Property tailoring can also take place through selection of specific anions or cations bound to the MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilizer coordination compound. The “physiology” of inorganic stabilizers is simple because of the limited number of atoms and structural arrangements involved in their formation. The “physiology” of organic stabilizers is not as simple. An organically stabilized manganese compound may have one or more organic ligands that may have one or more bonding sites that can interact with the MnIII or MnIV ion/oxide cluster. The bonding groups can be the same or different atoms or functional groups on an individual or a variety of ligands. An organic stabilizer ligand can be modified in an unlimited number of ways to tailor its physical behavior with respect to such properties as chemical reactivity, solubility, electrostatic and polar character, and functional behavior.
It is possible to fine tune the electronic and structural characteristics of a MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilizer compound further via substituent groups on the coordinating ligand, and/or by the selection of cations or anions to complete the charge balance of the MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilizer compound. For example, some substituent groups have large dipole moments associated with them, which will increase the electrostatic barrier layers associated with the manganese/valence stabilizer complexes. These include: ketones (═C═O), thioketones (═C═S), amides (—C[═O]—NR2), thioamides (—C[═S]—NR2), nitriles or cyano groups, (—CN), isocyanides (—NC), nitroso groups (—N═O), thionitroso groups (—N═S), nitro groups (—NO2), azido groups (—N3), cyanamide or cyanonitrene groups (═N—CN), cyanate groups (—O—CN), isocyanate groups (—N═C═O), thiocyanate groups (—S—CN), isothiocyanate groups (—N═C═S), nitrosamine groups (═N—N═O), thionitrosamine groups (═N—N═S), nitramine groups (═N—NO2), thionitramine groups (═N—NS2), carbonylnitrene groups (—CO—N), thiocarbonylnitrene groups (—CS—N), sulfenyl halides (—S—X), sulfoxides (═S═O), sulfones (═S[═O]2), sulfinyl groups (—N═S═O), thiosulfinyl groups (—N═S═S), sulfenyl thiocyanato groups (—S—S—CN), sulfenyl cyanato groups (—S—O—CN), sulfodiimine groups (═S[═NH]2), sulfur dihaloimido groups (—N═SX2), sulfur oxide dihaloimido groups (—N═S[═O]X2), aminosulfur oxide trihalide groups (═N—S[═O]X3), sulfonyl azide groups (—S [═O]2N3), sulfonyl thiocyanate groups (—S[═O]2SCN), sulfonyl cyanate groups (—S[═O]2OCN), sulfonyl cyanide groups (—S[═O]2CN), halosulfonate groups (—S[═O]2OX), phosphonyl thiocyanate groups (—P[═O]OHSCN), phosphonyl cyanate groups (—P[═O]OHOCN), and phosphonyl cyanide groups (—P[═O]OHCN). In this way, the characteristics of less typical coordinating ligands may be adjusted so that the resultant MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilizer compound does exhibit some degree of corrosion inhibition. Conversely, the physical characteristics of typical coordination compounds can be adjusted so that they are no longer suitable as a corrosion inhibitor.
Valence stabilizers can be either organic or inorganic compounds. Manganese coordination chemistry, which has been the subject of numerous scientific studies for almost 100 years, identifies chemical binding preferences, structure stability, and the physical properties of the resulting compounds. Producing effective MnIII- and/or MnIV-valence stabilizer compounds requires understanding the electrostatic and structural influence of candidate species on the compound. The solubility of the valence stabilized MnIII- and/or MnIV-compound scales roughly with the inverse of its diameter. The MnIII and MnIV ions and their layer of negatively charged hydroxyl ions are very small, which results in a high degree of aqueous solubility. The field strength of the complex also scales with the inverse of its physical diameter. Large compounds with an optimal degree of solubility will not necessarily be ideal with respect to the size of their electrostatic double layer. The size of the ligand must therefore be balanced against the desired electrical properties. The MnIII ion generally favors complexation either in the square pyramidal (coordination number 5) or octahedral (coordination number 6) arrangements, although it will occasionally be found in a pentagonal bipyramid arrangement. The MnIV ion almost exclusively favors complexation in the octahedral (coordination number 6) arrangement. Valence stabilizers (and stabilizer combinations) should be selected with the goal of achieving these coordinations.
Stabilizers can be designed that result in manganese compounds with the necessary physical, electrical, and chemical properties to perform as corrosion inhibitors with this information. The nature of a particular valence stabilizer shell surrounding the manganese ion, or combination of valence stabilizers, can be further manipulated by the selection of appropriate “shaping groups” and heteroatoms at the binding site. Inorganic valence stabilizers are typically oxygen-containing coordinations. Therefore, manipulation of different sized ionic complexes around the MnIII or MnIV ions is best controlled through adjustment of the heteroatoms (e.g., Mo, W, Te, etc.) within these “polymerized” oxygen-containing ionic complexes (ligands).
For organic compounds, the physical geometry of the binding sites is important to the stability of the MnIII- or MnIV-stabilizer compound. The influence of site geometry becomes evident when the solvation shell of a MnIII or MnIV ion is replaced by the ligand donor atoms as when pigments are formed. The number of available ligand binding sites should be at least equal to the standard coordination number of the MnIII or MnIV ion. The balance between solvation of the ligand and MnIII and/or MnIV and their complexation where MnIII or MnIV is solvated by a specific ligand is critical in maintaining stability. MnIII- or MnIV-ligand attraction increases with the number of available binding sites on the ligand. However, with an increasing number of binding sites, site-site repulsions will also increase, resulting in lower stability.
The number of binding sites available on the complexing ligand is important to the resulting MnIII- or MnIV-stabilizer's properties. Several ligands are required to effectively stabilize MnIII or MnIV if the chosen ligand has only one binding site. For example, six NH3 ligands are needed to octahedrally coordinate MnIII in a hexaaminemanganese (III) compound because NH3 has only one binding site. Bulky ligands with only one binding site, like pyridine, can be sterically hindered from packing tightly around the ion and will result in decreased compound stability. Conversely, macrocyclic organic and polymeric inorganic ligands can have many suitable binding sites. However, instability will result if a MnIII or MnIV ion is not completely embraced by all of the multiple macromolecular bonding sites on the ligand. For example, if a macromolecule surrounding the MnIII or MnIV ion has an insufficient number of binding sites available for charge balance, then the MnIII- or MnIV-stabilizer compound will be much less stable than a macromolecule that contains an adequate number of sites.
The stability of the MnIII- or MnIV-organic compound is strongly influenced by the charge, charge sign, and degree of polarizability of specific binding sites. Factors influencing compound stability include: 1) ion-pair interactions for charged ligands and MnIII or MnIV; 2) ion-dipole and ion-induced dipole interactions for neutral ligands; 3) hydrogen bonding; and 4) the hard-soft acid-base (HSAB) rules convention of coordination chemistry. HSAB rules help identify functional groups on ligands that might be effective as binding sites. Optimum binding for organic valence stabilizers to MnIII or MnIV will be with ligands with hard bonding species such as those that contain oxygen or nitrogen. Certain coordination complexes of the soft base sulfur are also effective for binding with MnIII or MnIV. HSAB rules can also help identify groups that might provide a degree of polarization to the stabilizer because of their large dipole moments. The nature of bonding between the MnIII or MnIV ion/oxide cluster and the stabilizer ligand can be altered by using a substituent group to modify the stabilizer. Specific interactions between the ligand and MnIII or MnIV can be tailored by substituent group selection coupled with altering the size or geometry of the complexing ligand. Some substituent groups, such as carbonyls (ketones, amides, ureas), nitro groups, cyano groups, and azido groups have large dipole moments. The polarization of the MnIII- or MnIV-stabilizer can therefore be optimized via evaluation of the effect of ligand type and substituents.
Finally, the size of the valence stabilizer plays an important role in solubility control of the resultant MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilizer compound. As the ligand increases in size, it becomes more difficult to keep it in solution, therefore lowering the solubility. However, this must be balanced against the fact that as ligands are increased in size, it also becomes more difficult to establish the necessary dipoles at the compound/water interface. The size of the ligand must therefore be balanced against the desired electrical properties. The addition (or subtraction) of functional groups on organic valence stabilizers can be used to modify the solubility of the formed Mn+3 or Mn+4/valence stabilizer species. For example, the addition of sulfonated groups (—SO3−) to organic valence stabilizers will significantly increase the solubility in water. Other substituent groups that will increase the solubility in water include: carboxyl groups (—CO2−), hydroxyl groups (—OH), ester groups (—CO3—), carbonyl groups (═C═O), amine groups (—NH2), nitrosamine groups (═N—N═O), carbonylnitrene groups (—CO—N), sulfoxide groups (═S═O), sulfone groups (═S[═O]2), sulfinyl groups (—N═S═O), sulfodiimines (═S[═NH]2), sulfonyl halide groups (—S[═O]2X), sulfonamide groups (—S[═O]2NH2), monohalosulfonamide groups (—S[═O]2NHX), dihalosulfonamide groups (—S[═O]2MX2), halosulfonate groups (—S[═O]2OX), halosulfonate amide groups (═N—S[═O]2X), aminosulfonate groups (═N—S[═O]2OH), iminodisulfonate groups (—N[SO3−]2), phosphonate groups (—PO3−2), phosphonamide groups (—PO2NH2−), phosphondiamide groups (—PO[NH2]2), aminophosphonate groups (═N—PO3−2), and iminodiphosphonate groups (—N[PO3−2]2). Conversely, the addition of nitro groups (—NO2), perfluoroalkyl groups (—CxF2x+1), perchloroalkyl groups (—CxCl2x+1), nitramine groups (═N—NO2), thioketone groups (═C═S), sulfenyl halide groups (—S—X), and sulfur dihaloimide groups (—N═SX2) to organic valence stabilizers will decrease the solubility in water. In this way, the solubility characteristics of valence stabilizers can be “tailored” to meet specific binder/resin needs.
Valence stabilizers and combinations of stabilizers can be manipulated by the selection of “shaping groups” and heteroatoms positioned at the binding site. Saturated organic chains can form flexible ligands that wrap around MnIII- or MnIV- and can enhance their stability. Unsaturated organics typically have less freedom to bend and contort and are less likely to be a ligand that can wrap or fit around the MnIII or MnIV ions. Addition of substituents onto an organic ligand may further restrict its freedom to flex. For example, the attachment of a phenyl group onto an organic valence stabilizer that contains two or more binding sites will likely restrict the ability of that ligand to flex around the MnIII or MnIV ions so as to coordinate it as a square pyramid or octahedral complex.
The physical, chemical, and electrostatic requirements for the design of effective pigments based on MnIII- or MnIV-stabilizer compounds result in lists of stabilizers that may be divided into wide band or narrow band stabilizer classes for MnIII or MnIV, depending upon the application. Wide band valence stabilizers can be used under a wide variety of service conditions (e.g., corroding specie, temperature, etc.) to achieve a high degree of corrosion resistance. Wide band physical properties (stability, solubility, and polarization) can be achieved by both inorganic or organic valence stabilizers. The desirable physical property of ion exchange can also be achieved with both inorganic and organic coordination compounds. “Narrow band” valence stabilizers result in satisfactory pigments only under limited applications. Table 3 lists the wide and narrow band valence stabilizers for MnIII and MnIV depending upon the specific application.
The compounds listed here are general guides for the initial selection of a coordination compound and do not represent a complete list. Tailoring substituent groups and the selection of cations or anions for charge balance can influence whether a particular MnIII- or MnIV-stabilizer compound will have wide band or narrow band corrosion inhibiting characteristics. Both inorganic or organic valence stabilizers may form compounds with the necessary physical properties of stability, solubility, and polarization to be effective corrosion inhibiting pigments.
3a) Wide Band Inorganic Valence Stabilizers
Wide band inorganic valence stabilizers are formed around the MnIII or MnIV ion by “polymerizing” in synthesis solution. Inorganic wide band valence stabilizers for MnIII or MnIV for “sparingly soluble” pigments include molybdates (Mo+6, Mo+5, or Mo+4, for example [Mn+4Mo9O32]6− and [Mn+4Mo12O40]4−), tungstates (W+6, W+5, or W+4, for example [Mn+4W12O40]4− and [Mn+32W22O74]10−), vanadates (V+5 and V+4, for example [Mn+4V13O38]7− and [Mn+4V11O32]5−), niobates (Nb+5 and Nb+4, for example [Mn+4Nb12O38]12−), tantalates (Ta+5 and Ta+4, for example [Mn+4Ta12O38]12−), tellurates (Te+6 and Te+4, for example [Mn+4Te3O18]14−), periodates (I+7, for example [Mn+4I3O18]11−), iodates (I+5, for example [Mn+4I6O18]2−), antimonates (Sb+5 and Sb+3), stannates (Sn+4), sulfates (S+6, such as manganese spinels [Mn+3(SO4)2]1−), and polyphosphates (P+5, for example [Mn+3P3O10]2− and [Mn+3P2O7]1−). Many of these inorganics form octahedral and square pyramidal heteropolymetallate structures on precipitation from solution. For example, tellurate ions begin to polymerize near pH 5 in water and will complex with MnIII or MnIV ions in basic solution pH's. Therefore, as the pH is raised in the pigment synthesis bath, the tellurate ion polymerizes to polymorphs, which then complex the MnIII or MnIV ion.
The general structural aspects of heteropolymetallates are well understood, and the stability of heteropolymetallates as a function of composition and structure is also well-characterized. The relatively unstable MnIII or MnIV ions are protected and stabilized within the surrounding octahedral and square pyramidal groups, although specific configurations of the heteropolymetallate anions differ from stabilizer to stabilizer (i.e., from molybdate to periodate or iodate). The dimensions of the octahedra and square pyramids are controlled by the size of the heteroatom (e.g., Mo, W, or Te) around which they are assembled.
A MnIII or MnIV ion trapped by the precipitation of these heteropolymetallates and its resulting “ion within a cage” structure can exhibit an even greater apparent volume due to the development of a large electrostatic double layer. This will influence both the valence stabilization of the MnIII or MnIV, as well as the solubility of the assembled compound. These compounds are reported to be excellent ion exchange agents for alkali ions. This caging structure serves to lower the solubility of the MnIII or MnIV because the chemical elements typically associated with these valence stabilizers (e.g., I, Te, Mo, or W) are all inherently less soluble in water than Mn. These materials can also establish oriented dipoles with the interior MnIII or MnIV ion and form an electrostatic double layer during aqueous corrosion. Finally, the elements associated with these valence stabilizers themselves can contain high valence ions (i.e., V+5, Te+6, or Mo+6), which will also serve somewhat in corrosion protection, although not to the degree of MnIII or MnIV (or CrVI), due to their lower redox potential.
Water-soluble precursors for these materials are generally used so that the synthesis can be carried out from aqueous solution. Many elements associated with these stabilizers (e.g., Mo, W, or Te) do not typically form water-soluble compounds so the identification of suitable precursors can be difficult.
Complex, partially-polymerized salts such as para- or meta-polymorphs for each compound may also be used as precursors. These polymorphs typically exhibit slightly lower solubilities in water than the simple salts. Peroxo-salts of these compounds, especially permolybdates, pertungstates, and pervanadates may also be used as precursors. Formation of the chosen heteropolymetallates from precursors such as the fluorides, chlorides, bromides, nitrates, and perchlorates (e.g., SnCl4 to form heterostannates and SbF5 to form heteroantimonates) can be difficult, but may be acceptable in certain circumstances. A valence stabilizer can be a cross between two or more of the wide-band inorganic valence stabilizers listed above. For example, a valence stabilizer composed of a periodate and a molybdate may be desirable in some situations. During the synthesis process, both of these materials will polymerize to form a mixed periodate/molybdate valence stabilizer out of the pigment solution.
The most notable valence stabilizer for low and insoluble MnIII and MnIV pigments is oxygen (O), as evidenced by the natural stability of such compounds as MnO2, Mn3O4, Mn2O3 and MnOOH, all of which contain MnIII and/or MnIV ions. In instances where oxygen is used as a valence stabilizer for MnIII or MnIV, differences in addendum cations (i.e., Ca+2 in CaMn2O4 or Zn+2 in ZnMn2O4) are observed to alter the solubility of the formed compound, and its performance as a corrosion inhibitor in a given binder system. This is discussed under Section 4 describing Additional Solubility Control Agents.
Additional wide band valence stabilizers for MnIII or MnIV for “low solubility” or “insoluble” pigments include silicates (Si+4, for example [Mn+3, Si2O6]1−), borates (B+3, for example Mn+32B4O9), phosphates (P+5, for example Mn+3, PO4), titanates (Ti+4), zirconates (Zr+4), and aluminates (Al+3). These compounds can also form octahedral or square pyramids, but have a higher tendency to form chain-like structures during calcining or firing. Combinations of these materials, such as phosphosilicates, aluminosilicates, or borosilicates may also function as wide band valence stabilizers for low and insoluble MnIII and MnIV compounds.
3b) Wide Band Organic Valence Stabilizers
A variety of organic compounds meet the criteria to be typical wide band valence stabilizers for MnIII or MnIV. These coordination ligands produce MnIII or MnIV valence stabilized compounds that fulfill the general requirements of a MnIII or MnIV pigment material. Organic compounds can be very effective manganese stabilizers and provide the greatest degree of freedom in designing new manganese-stabilizer compounds with new functionalities. More possible organic valence stabilizer species exist than inorganic valence stabilizers because of the immense number of organic compounds and functionalities from which to choose. Water-soluble precursors for the organic valence stabilizers are generally used so that pigment synthesis can be carried out in aqueous solution. However, alcohol or hydrocarbon soluble species can also be used.
The number of wide band (and narrow band) organic compounds that are acceptable as valence stabilizers for trivalent or tetravalent manganese is limited. Common organic compounds such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, ethers, alkyl or aromatic halides, most carboxylic acids, anhydrides, phenols, sulfonic acids, phosphonic acids, carbohydrates, waxes, fats, sugars, and oils are not as effective as the structural types described in these Tables to stabilize the trivalent or tetravalent manganese ion. At best, some of the organic types described in these Tables may presently be used for other industrial applications, but their incorporation into corrosion-inhibiting blends to stabilize trivalent or tetravalent manganese has heretofore been unrecognized.
The choice of substituent functional groups on these general classes of valence stabilizers will affect the physicochemical properties of the MnIII- or MnIV-containing compound and the corrosion resistance achieved using that compound. For example, the addition of —NH2 or ═O substituents increases the net polarization of the overall net MnIII or MnIV/valence stabilizer compound, but will also increase its water solubility. Careful molecular design of MnIII and MnIV compounds is necessary in order to achieve desired performance characteristics.
In general, the bonding atoms in typical organic valence stabilizers are nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur. Bonding atoms such as phosphorus, carbon, silicon, tin, arsenic, and antimony are much less desirable due to problems with valence stability, toxicity, or solubility. Other stable coordinations (like pentagonal bipyramidal) are known, even though these particular agents prefer octahedral or square pyramidal coordination with Mn+3 or Mn+4. These valence stabilizers all serve to stabilize the Mn+3 or Mn+4 ions within a sparingly soluble complex that can exhibit a polar character in aqueous solution.

As with the inorganic valence stabilizers, crosses between two or more organic stabilizers can be used. For example, in some instances it may be desirable to form a valence stabilizer out of a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic and an amine ligand. During the synthesis process, both of these materials will complex with the MnIII or MnIV ion to produce a mixed nitrogen heterocyclic/amine valence stabilizer compound from the pigment solution.
3c) Narrow Band Inorganic Valence Stabilizers
Additional valence stabilizers can be used in conjunction with the MnIII and MnIV ions for corrosion protection. However, these less typical stabilizers suffer from disadvantages that make their selection over the previously mentioned wide band valence stabilizers less desirable. For this reason, we term them “narrow band” valence stabilizers because of their limited applications. Narrow band stabilizers exhibit some limitation in their use when compared to wide band stabilizers. Narrow band inorganic stabilizers may be toxic or may complex MnIII or MnIV only with difficulty. These narrow band stabilizers include, but are not limited to, bismuthates, germanates, arsenates, and carbonates. For example, valence stabilizers using arsenate are less desirable because their inherent toxicity is very large (greater than PbIV or CrVI), although they may be very effective at inhibiting corrosion when used with MnIII. Arsenates could be used as MnIII valence stabilizers in situations where the toxicity of the pigment is not a factor in its use.
Modifications of wide band inorganic valence stabilizers can result in a complex with reduced corrosion inhibition. The central cavity of the heteropolymetallates can contain ions in addition to the desired MnIII or MnIV ion. For example, the use of silicomolybdates, phosphomolybdates, silicotungstates, and phosphotungstates is possible. In these MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilizer complexes, Si+4 or P+5 ions also occupy the central cavity of the complex with the MnIII or MnIV ion. The inclusion of additional ions in the central cavity reduces the stability of the complex, and thereby leads to lower corrosion protection. Nonetheless, these complexes also demonstrate some corrosion inhibiting activity. The additional ions that can be included within the central cavity of the heteropolymetallates described above depend upon the size of the central cavity, which in turn depends upon the specific chemistry exhibited by an inorganic valence stabilizer (e.g., molybdate, tungstate, periodate, etc.) In general, these additional ions must also be small so as to ensure the stability of the formed MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilized complex. Examples of small additional ions include, but are not limited to: B+3, Al+3, Si+4, P+5, Ti+4, V+5, V+4, Cr+6, Cr+3, Mn+2, Fe+3, Fe+2, Co+3, Co+2, Ni+2, Ni+3, Ni+4, Cu+2, Cu+3, Zn+2, Ga+3, Ge+4, As+5, As+3, Zr+4, and Ce+4.
Water-soluble precursors for these materials are desirable. Typically, the free acids (e.g., silicomolybdic acid, phosphotungstic acid, borotungstic acid, etc.) offer the most water-soluble precursors for these materials.

Water-soluble precursors for the organic valence stabilizers are typically used to ensure that sufficient material is available for pigment synthesis. However, in the case of organic valence stabilizers, it is also possible to synthesize the desired MnIII or MnIV/valence stabilizer compounds from organic solvent systems. Therefore, solubility in organic solvents (for the precursors) is also acceptable. Identification of suitable water soluble precursors can be difficult because many of these organics do not form a wide range of water-soluble compounds.
3e) Mixed Inorganic/Organic Valence Stabilizers
Mixing organic and inorganic valence stabilizers in a pigment solution will often result in a pigment with poor corrosion inhibiting properties because of cross interference. Inorganic and organic stabilizers interact with MnIII and/or MnIV in different ways. For example, inorganic valence stabilizers perform their function by forming a shell of octahedrally or square pyramidally coordinated anionic species around a captured MnIII or MnIV ion. The net charge of these inorganic MnIII- or MnIV-stabilizer compounds is therefore always negative. Organic species stabilize by the formation of a hard or soft bond between the bonding atom in the stabilizer (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur) and the MnIII or MnIV ion. The net charge of these compounds is usually positive. If these two very different types of stabilization ligands are combined, then the magnitude of the charge on the stabilized compound can be significantly reduced. The performance of organic or inorganic stabilized corrosion inhibitor compounds has been found to be related to the ability of the compound to form and sustain a thick electrostatic barrier layer. Additionally, a mixed stabilizer will have a poorly developed electrostatic field and a non-optimal packing around the MnIII or MnIV ion, resulting in a compound with less resistance to aqueous attack. Mixed organic/inorganic stabilized MnIII or MnIV pigments can perform more poorly than pigments that have exclusively inorganic or organic valence stabilizers for this reason.
4) Additional Solubility Control Agents
The use of additional solubility control agents is optional. For example, the anions or cations present in the pigment synthesis bath useful for preparation of “sparingly soluble” pigments may be sufficient to form compounds with the desired solubility and saturated pH characteristics. However, pigment synthesis may produce compounds with greater than optimal solubilities, and the use of additional solubility control agents may be desirable. In situations where fine tuning of solubility or saturated pH is desired, cationic species are typical for MnIII- or MnIV-stabilizer combinations when an inorganic valence stabilizer is used, and anionic species are typical for MnIII or MnIV/organic valence stabilizer combinations.
Additional solubility and saturated pH control can be achieved through the use of nontoxic inorganic cations, which include, but are not limited to: H+, Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, NH4+, Mg+2, Ca+2, Sr+2, Y+3, La+3, Ce+3, Ce+4, Nd+3, Pr+3, Sc+3, Sm+3, Eu+3, Eu+2, Gd+3, Tb+3, Dy+3, Ho+3, Er+3, Tm+3, Yb+3, Lu+3, Ti+4, Zr+4, Ti+3, Hf+4, Nb+5, Ta+5, Nb+4, Ta+4, Mo+6, W+6, Mo+5, W+5, Mo+4, W+4, Mn+2, Mn+3, Mn+4, Fe+2, Fe+3, Co+2, Co+3, Ru+2, Ru+3, Ru+4, Rh+3, Ir+3, Rh+2, Ir+2, Pd+4, Pt+4, Pd+2, Pt+2, Cu+, Cu+2, Cu+3, Ag+, Ag+2,Ag+3, Au+, Au+2, Au+3, Zn+2, Al+3, Ga+3, Ga+, In+3, In+, Ge+4, Ge+2, Sn+2, Sn+4, Sb+3, Sb+5, Bi+3, and Bi5. Any water compound containings these cations can be used for this purpose. The nitrates, chlorides, bromides, and perchlorates of these cations offer inexpensive water-soluble precursors, although many other water-soluble precursors exist. The use of alkaline ions such as Mg+2, Ca+2, and Sr+2 for solubility control has been demonstrated successfully, with acceptable saturated pH values.
Cationic solubility control may also be achieved through the use of nontoxic organic cations that include, but are not limited to: quaternary ammonium compounds (NR4+, where R can be any combination of alkyl, aromatic, or acyclic organic substituents, such as the methyltriethylammonium ion); organic compounds containings at least one N+ site (such as pyridinium or thiazolium cations); organic compounds containing at least one phosphonium site (P+, such as the benzyltriphenylphosphonium ion); organic compounds containing at least one stibonium site (Sb+, such as the tetraphenylstibonium ion); organic compounds containing at least one oxonium site (O+, such as pyrylium cations); organic compounds containing at least one sulfonium site (S+, such as the triphenylsulfonium ion); and organic compounds containing at least one iodonium site (I+, such as the diphenyliodonium ion).
The quaternary ammonium compounds, organic compounds containing at least one N+ site, and organic compounds containing at least one oxonium site are the most important of these classifications because of the very large number of stable cations that are available. Water-soluble precursors for these organic cations are desirable in order to maximize the amount of material available in the appropriate pigment synthesis solution. Most of these materials are also soluble in organic solvents and hydrocarbons. Fluorides, chlorides, and bromides offer the most water-soluble precursors for these organic cations, although nitrates and perchlorates of those cations with lower molecular weights (e.g., tetramethylammonium) are also acceptable water-soluble precursors. Nitrates and perchlorates of larger (greater molecular weight) organic cations are generally not acceptable as precursors because of their low water solubility.
Toxic inorganic or organic cations can be used as additional solubility control agents although this is less desirable. Examples of toxic inorganic cations that can be used include, but are not limited to: Be+2, Ba+2, V+5, V+4, V+3, Cr+3, Ni+2, Ni+4, Os+4, Cd+2, Hg+1, Hg+2, Tl+, Tl+3, As+3, As+5, Pb+2, and Pb+4. Examples of toxic organic cations include, but are not limited to: organic compounds containing at least one arsonium site (an example being the tetraphenylarsonium ion of As+) and organic compounds containing at least one selenonium site (an example being the triphenylselenonium ion of Se+). Use of these materials for additional solubility control may be necessary in some specific instances where the toxicity of the resulting pigment is of limited importance to the operator. Water-soluble precursors for these toxic cations are typical in order to maximize the amount of available cation for solubility control in aqueous-based synthesis solutions. The organic cations are frequently hydrocarbon-soluble. In general, the nitrates, chlorides, bromides, and perchlorates of these cations offer the highest water solubility.
Additional solubility control can also be achieved by using nontoxic inorganic anions, especially for MnIII or MnIV/organic valence stabilizer combinations. Soluble precursors for these inorganic anions are desirable in order to maximize the amount of material available in the appropriate pigment formation solution. Inorganic examples include, but are not limited to: fluorotitanates, chlorotitanates, fluorozirconates, chlorozirconates, fluoroniobates, chloroniobates, fluorotantalates, chlorotantalates, molybdates, tungstates, permanganates, fluoromanganates, chloromanganates, fluoroferrates, chloroferrates, fluorocobaltates, chlorocobaltates, fluorozincates, chlorozincates, borates, fluoroborates, fluoroaluminates, chloroaluminates, carbonates, silicates, fluorosilicates, fluorostannates, nitrates, nitrites, azides, phosphates, phosphites, phosphonates, phosphinites, thiophosphates, thiophosphites, thiophosphonates, thiophosphinites, fluorophosphates, fluoroantimonates, chloroantimonates, sulfates, sulfites, sulfonates, thiosulfates, dithionites, dithionates, fluorosulfates, tellurates, fluorides, chlorides, chlorates, perchlorates, bromides, bromates, iodides, iodates, periodates, and heteropolyanions (e.g., heteropolymolybdates or silicomolybdates).
Additional solubility control can also be achieved through the use of an almost unlimited number of nontoxic organic anions (e.g., organics with different carboxylate or acid groups). Examples include, but are not limited to: ferricyanides; ferrocyanides; cyanocobaltates; cyanocuprates; cyanomanganates; cyanates; cyanatoferrates; cyanatocobaltates; cyanatocuprates; cyanatomanganates;

organic silicates; and stibonates [useful representatives including, but not limited to, antimonyl tartrate and benzenestibonic acid]. Soluble precursors for these organic anions are desirable to maximize the amount available in the appropriate pigment synthesis solution. These organic anions are frequently soluble in organic solvents or hydrocarbons in addition to water-based systems.
Finally, toxic inorganic or organic anions can be used as additional solubility control agents, although they are less desirable. Examples of toxic inorganic anions include, but are not limited to: arsenates, arsenites, fluoroarsenates, chloroarsenates, selenates, selenites, fluorothallates, chlorothallates, iodomercury anions (e.g., Nessler's reagent), thiocyanatomercury anions (e.g., Behren's reagent), chloromercurates, bromomercurates, osmates, fluoronickelates, chromates, Reinecke's salt, and vanadates. Examples of toxic organic anions include cyanides; cyanochromates; cyanonickelates; cyanatochromates; cyanatonickelates; thiocyanatochromates; thiocyanatonickelates; cyanamidochromates; cyanamidonickelates; nitritonickelates; arsonates, diarsonates, or triarsonates [useful representatives being propylarsonic acid, phenylarsonic acid, hydroxyphenylarsonic acid, benzenearsonic acid, methylbenzenearsonic acid, hydroxybenzenearsonic acid, and nitrobenzenearsonic acid]; and organic selenates, diselenates, or triselenates. These materials may be necessary in some specific instances for additional solubility control where toxicity of the final pigment material is of limited importance. Soluble precursors for these organic anions are desirable to maximize the amount available in the appropriate pigment synthesis solution. The alkali or ammonium species of these anions typically offer the greatest water solubility.
Solubility control agents can also be used for “low solubility” and “insoluble” MnIII and MnIV pigments for use as lead chromate and/or red lead replacements. However, the choice of solubility control agents is limited due to the chemistry and preparation methods for these pigments. These pigments are typically prepared by calcining, firing, or otherwise heating powder mixtures, so organic solubility control agents are not acceptable because of thermal degradation. In addition, because these calcined or fired manganese-containing mixtures result in complex oxide compounds, there is no need to add anionic solubility control agents. The only solubility control agents suitable for use with the “low solubility” or “insoluble” MnIII or MnIV pigments will overwhelmingly be inorganic cations.
Solubility control agents for calcined, fired, or otherwise heated MnIII and/or MnIV-containing pigments include, but are not limited to: Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Be+2, Mg+2, Ca+2, Sr+2, Ba+2, Y+3, La+3, Ce+3, Ce+4, Ti+4, Zr+4, V+5, Nb+5, Ta+5, Mo+6, W+6, Cr+3, Mn+2, Fe+3, Fe+2, Co+2, Co+3, Ni+2, Cu+2, Ag+, Ag+2, Zn+2, Al+3, In+3, Sn+4, Sb+3, Sb+5, Bi+3, and Bi+5. Table 6 shows example compositions of low solubility or insoluble MnIII or MnIV compounds suitable as pigments that can be produced for many of these solubility control cations. It is interesting to note the similarity between these compositions and those shown in Table 1 for naturally-occurring MnIII or MnIV minerals, further validating their long-term stability. As the solubility control cation is changed, dramatic differences in solubility can be observed. For example, Mg-containing MnIII or MnIV pigments (i.e., MgMn2O4) exhibit higher solubilities (i.e., 10−4 moles/liter MnIII or MnIV) whereas Ba-containing MnIII or MnIV pigments (i.e., BaMnO3) exhibit much lower (i.e., 10−8 or 10−9 moles/liter MnIII or MnIV) solubilities. In this way, even the performance of calcined or fired MnIII or MnIV ceramic powders can be tailored for specific applications. Combinations of these ions can also be used to modify performance.
It has been noted that one of the primary functionalities of lead chromate and especially red lead pigments is the ability to insolubilize corrosive anions (especially sulfate) via the divalent lead ion. Similar functionality can be achieved using proper choice of the solubility control agents described above. For example, barium (Ba+2) is notorious for its ability to insolubilize sulfate ions. Bismuth (Bi+3) can produce insoluble chlorides under the proper conditions. Therefore, of the cationic solubility control agents listed above for “low solubility” or “insoluble” MnIII and MnIV pigments, those containing Ba+2, Bi+3, and Bi+5 are typical.
Similarly, compositions containing cations that are themselves corrosive towards structural metals are less desirable. Hence, compositions containing potassium (K+) and especially sodium (Na+) are less desirable.
5) Valence Stabilizers for “Indicator Pigments”
Some heteropolymetallate valence stabilizers for trivalent or tetravalent manganese pigments have been observed to result in pigments that change color as the MnIII- or MnIV-stabilizer compound was exhausted during corrosion. For example, molybdate-stabilized MnIV pigments are typically maroon in color after being prepared and combined with a suitable binder system. These pigments were observed to gradually change from maroon to royal blue after extended exposure to ASTM B-117 and ASTM G-85 accelerated corrosion testing environments. The rate of color change was gradual with time and scaled with initiation and continued corrosion of the substrate. The color change from maroon to blue is well-documented in the inorganic chemistry literature for heteropolymolybdates. Numerous studies have shown that the color change associated with molybdenum blues is due to reduction of the molybdenum (VI) ion (the valence stabilizer for MnIV in this example), to the more reduced molybdenum (IV) ion. Other manganese-containing compounds can exhibit differences in color with the change in valence of the manganese ion in the pigment compound. Organometallic literature has many examples of manganese compounds where an organic trivalent or tetravalent manganese compound is one color and the divalent compound is a different color.
Color changes in the paint can be used as a metric to determine when the corrosion-inhibiting ability of the pigment has begun to fail. Alternatively, changes in pigment color hue may suggest remaining corrosion-inhibiting service life. The color change behavior is not observed for all MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilizer combinations. Those compositions that do exhibit a significant color change between fully oxidized and reduced valence states are typical for applications where an indication of the amount of remaining unreacted pigment is desired. This represents an advantage over conventional chromate or plumbate pigments which do not demonstrate a significant color change during reduction.
B) Pigment Synthesis
The manganese compounds of the present invention can be synthesized by many different formation routes, and the synthesis of specific trivalent or tetravalent manganese compounds is often found in the general manganese coordination chemistry literature. The syntheses of several trivalent or tetravalent manganese compounds suitable for use as pigments are outlined in the Examples section of this specification.
The pigments can be synthesized via precipitation routes (including onto inorganic or organic substrates), by firing of constituents at elevated temperatures, by evaporative routes, by freezing, by freeze drying, etc. In general, “sparingly soluble” MnIII and MnIV pigments are best prepared by precipitation or evaporation routes, whereas “low solubility” or “insoluble” MnIII and MnIV pigments are best prepared by firing of constitutents. Precipitation is a typical synthesis route, for “sparingly soluble” pigments because: a) it is easiest to control, b) it allows inorganic valence stabilizers to polymerize, and c) many organic valence stabilizer precursors are degraded by high temperatures. Precipitation from aqueous (water-based) solutions is typical, because the formed trivalent or tetravalent manganese pigment materials are required to be sparingly soluble in water in order to function adequately as corrosion-inhibitors. For the more soluble pigments (i.e., with solubilities as high as 1×100 moles/liter of trivalent or tetravalent manganese, for specialized applications), precipitation can be aided by traditional salting-out methodologies, such as adding salt or alcohols to further facilitate precipitation. If desired, precipitation onto or in combination with inert materials such as oxides, hydroxides, silicates, borates, aluminates, phosphates, carbonates, titanates, molybdates, tungstates, oxalates, polymers, etc., can be initiated. An almost infinite variety of colors, hues, tints, solubilities, saturated pHs, decomposition temperatures, melting points, and corrosion-inhibiting action can be produced in pigments based solely on the MnIII or MnIV ions.
Organic solvents can also be used for the synthesis of these pigments, especially for many of the organic valence-stabilized manganese compounds. Conventional organic solvents include, but are not limited to: methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, sec-butanol, benzyl alcohol, glycerol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, cresol, cyclohexanol, butyl Carbitol® (diethylene glycol monobutyl ether), Cellosolve® (ethylene glycol monoetheyl ether), methyl Cellosolve® (ethylene glycol monomethy ether), ethyl lactate, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), diethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), cyclohexanone, acetophenone, diethyl ether, isopropyl ether, furan, tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxane, tetrahydropyran, methyl formate, ethyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, methyl propionate, ethyl propionate, methyl butyrate, ethyl butyrate, propylene oxide, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyrolactone, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, benzaldehyde, propyl amine, diethyl amine, ethanolamine, aniline, pyridine, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide (DMF), propionitrile, nitrobenzene, hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, xylene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, methylene chloride, dichloroethane, trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, chlorobenzene, Freon® 113 (trichlorotrifluoroethane), carbon disulfide, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPT). These solvents can be used in instances where the specific MnIII or MnIV/valence stabilizer is insoluble in that specific solvent and sparingly soluble in water, or in instances where evaporative formation of fine particle sizes is desired.
A typical MnIV compound with inorganic valence stabilization was prepared as follows:
1) the stabilizer was dissolved in a minimum of water with added acetic acid or sodium acetate to buffer the solution to the proper pH;
2) manganese nitrate was dissolved in a separate buffered water solution;
3) the stabilizer solution was heated to near boiling and the manganese solution added all at once;
4) this stabilizer-manganese solution was heated for 15 to 60 minutes with a potassium acetate buffer to initiate inorganic polymerization of the valence stabilizer in the presence of a persulfate oxidizer to form tetravalent manganese;
5) this solution (mother liquor) was cooled and any precipitate filtered;
6) the mother liquor was separated into five fractions and an additional solubility control agent was added; and
7) each solution from step 6 was ice chilled and precipitates filtered and dried.
Solubility control agents Mg, Ca, Zn, Sr, and Ba were used to obtain a broad spectrum of solubilities with a single MnIV-valence stabilizer combination. Occasionally a precipitate would not form with the addition of a “solubility control agent” or a day of evaporation. This would imply that the target compound was extremely water soluble and unsuited for use as a pigment. Conversely, a precipitate would occasionally form immediately on addition of the last pH buffer or even the oxidizing agent. This would imply that the target MnIV compound was extremely insoluble and unsuited for use as a corrosion inhibiting pigment when incorporating the buffer or oxidizer's cations.
Those of skill in the art will appreciate that variations in the method described can be made. For example, the manganese solution and the valence stabilizer solution can be combined either by adding the manganese solution to the valence stabilizer or vice versa. The valence stabilizer can be added to the manganese solution or provided as a separate solution. The solubility control agent can be added to the manganese solution or to a separate valence stabilizer solution. Alternatively, it can be provided as a separate solution. The manganese solution can be cooled or heated as needed.
MnIII and MnIV pigments with organic valence stabilizers were synthesized in a similar fashion. Water-soluble organic ligands (i.e., the azo dye examples) allowed the entire synthesis to be performed in aqueous solution. Valence stabilizers of low water solubility (i.e., 8-hydroxyquinoline) were complexed in an isopropanol/water mixture. It was not necessary to carefully control pH of the organic syntheses because polymerization like that needed for the heteropolymetallate inorganic stabilizers was not necessary. Anionic “solubility control agents” such as sulfate, phosphate, molybdate, tungstate, and phosphomolybdate were used for the organic examples to form progressively larger compounds with less solubility.
The color of MnIII or MnIV pigments depends on the specific MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilizer combination. Inorganically valence stabilized MnIII or MnIV compounds ranged from maroon to black. The color of MnIII and MnIV pigments incorporating organic valence stabilizers often matched the color of the valence stabilizer. This was particularly true of the azo dyes. The colors of the organically stabilized pigments were orange-yellow ranging to green or brown.
Oxidation of divalent manganese to the trivalent or tetravalent oxidation state can be performed prior to, or after, compound formation. If trivalent or tetravalent manganese salts are to be used for synthesis, then additional oxidation may or may not be necessary, depending upon the synthesis conditions. For example, a MnIII or MnIV/valence stabilizer coordination compound could be prepared, or a MnII/valence stabilizer compound could be prepared and subsequently oxidized to a MnIII or MnIV/valence stabilizer compound. Oxidation prior to compound formation is typical, however, to ensure that the stability of the formed compound is maintained.
The stability of compounds using the same valence stabilizer ligand differs significantly because of the difference in size between the MnII, MnIII, and MnIV ions (67 pm versus 61 pm versus 54 pm). This has to do with the size requirements of the coordinating ligand. Therefore, one ligand geometry may result in a very stable MnII compound, but the same compound containing MnIII or MnIV can, in many instances, exhibit lower stabilities because of the difference in size of the ions. Oxidation to the trivalent or tetravalent state prior to precipitation (or other preparative methodology) ensures that once recovered, the compound is for the most part in a usable form.
Preparation of a divalent manganese compound, with subsequent oxidation treatment (e.g., via steam, gaseous oxygen, concentrated liquid oxidizer, etc.) to convert the compound to a trivalent or tetravalent oxidation state, can degrade the ligand or the entire compound, or can alter substituent groups on that ligand. Trivalent or tetravalent manganese/valence stabilizer complexes having a melting temperature lower than approximately 50° C. can be produced as a low melting solid, or a liquid-phase inhibitor. They can also be combined with inert materials in order to provide a solid material. If combination with inert materials is desired, then the trivalent or tetravalent corrosion inhibiting compound can be absorbed into, or adsorbed onto, the surfaces of the inert particles. The particles can be inorganic (e.g., oxides, hydroxides, phosphates, borates, silicates, carbonates, aluminates, titanates, molybdates, tungstates, oxalates, polymers, or combinations thereof) or organic (e.g., polymeric) in nature.
If low solubility or insoluble MnIII or MnIV compounds are desired, then calcining, heating, or firing of mixtures of compounds in an oxidizing environment represents the simplest route to formation. Firing temperatures of between about 200 and about 1200° C. typically can be used depending upon the specific composition. MnII, MnIII, MnIV, or even MnVII precursors can be used for this preparation. Suitable oxidizing environments include oxygen, air, ozone, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, chlorine, fluorine, or combinations thereof.
Once synthesized, the pigments can then be incorporated into a wide range of binder systems to afford corrosion protection. Examples of organic binder systems that can incorporate MnIII or MnIV corrosion-inhibiting pigments include, but are not limited to: alkyd-type primers, acrylic primers, polyester primers, epoxy primers, conductive primers, organic sol-gels, ketimine coatings, polyvinyl coatings, acrylic thermoplastics, asphaltic and coal tar thermoplastics, polyamide thermoplastics, polyethylene dispersion thermoplastics, fluorocarbon thermoplastics, chlorocarbon thermoplastics, silicone thermosets, polyurethane thermosets, polyester thermosets, epoxy-amine thermosets, epoxy-amide thermosets, epoxy-ester thermosets, epoxy-coal tar thermosets, furane thermosets, phenolic thermosets, butadiene styrene elastomers, chlorinated rubber elastomers, polysulfonated elastomers, neoprene elastomers, sulfur-containing rubbers, or combinations thereof. Examples of inorganic binder systems that can incorporate MnIII or MnIV pigments include, but are not limited to: low temperature enamels, low temperature glass frits, carbonaceous coatings, zeolites, inorganic sol-gels, or combinations thereof.
In order that the invention may be more readily understood, reference is made to the following examples, which are intended to illustrate the invention, but not limit the scope thereof.
The corrosion inhibiting performance of MnIII and MnIV pigments was evaluated by incorporating them into primer paint formulations. The acid wash primer paint formulation called out in DoD-P-15328 [Primer (Wash), Pretreatment (Formulation No. 117 for Metals)] was used to test the synthesized pigments. The wash primer is composed of a resin, an acid, a corrosion inhibiting pigment, powdered talc, and carbon lampblack. The acid content of this wash primer provides a rigorous initial test of the stability and performance of the pigments. Other, more benign, polymer-based binder and resin systems might not separate the compounds based on their performance as effectively or as rapidly.
The base solution for the wash primer in this specification was prepared by mixing 88.3 grams of isopropanol, 31.3 grams of n-butanol, and 3.8 grams of deionized water with 14 grams of poly(vinyl butyral) resin (PVB) (Monsanto Butvar B-90™). PVB was used exclusively throughout testing to avoid preparation and compositional complications during analysis of pigment performance. However, the invention is not limited to the use of PVB.
Acid diluent was prepared by mixing 70 grams of 85% phosphoric acid, 63 grams of deionized water, and 247 grams of isopropanol. Finely-ground pigment powder was measured out and added to 13.74 grams of the base solution for each paint to be tested. A small amount (0.2 g) of powdered talc (magnesium silicate) “filler” was added. Lampblack was not added to these samples. These components were mixed thoroughly by hand and 3.8 g of phosphoric acid diluent added with further mixing. This rough processing allowed direct comparisons of pigment performance to be made without complications due to powder treatments, modifications, and additives.
For each pigment to be tested, the primer paint was applied onto 10 metal substrates—5 precleaned 7075-T6 and 5 precleaned 2024-T3 aluminum substrates. This is not the conventional paint application procedure for aluminum alloys. Under normal service conditions, aluminum alloys are first subjected to a hexavalent chromium-containing conversion coating prior to primer application. However, the conversion coating was omitted so that the performance of the pigment alone could be evaluated and not the synergistic effects of hexavalent chromium (in the conversion coating) or even of barrier films (in the phosphate or anodized coatings).
Multiple samples of specific pigment compositions were prepared and tested. Samples treated with zinc and strontium chromate were used as comparison standards. The chromate pigments were prepared identically to those used to test MnIII and MnIV composition variations.
PVB wash primers containing various pigment formulations were evaluated by exposing them to static salt fog (ASTM B-117) and cyclic Prohesion™ (ASTM G-85.5) accelerated corrosion tests. ASTM B-117 is a traditional corrosion “proof” test that has little relation to a real working environment. This accelerated corrosion test exposes samples to a constant salt-water fog and is a de facto test of solubility for corrosion inhibitors. B-117 does not necessarily test the ability of a corrosion inhibitor to actually inhibit corrosion. This is particularly true of inhibitors and compounds that have not been fully optimized with respect to solubility. ASTM G-85.5 (Prohesion™) is a cyclic corrosion test that more closely resembles real working environments. This accelerated corrosion test exposes samples to a cycle of fog of dilute salt and ammonium sulfate at room temperature followed by forced-air drying at an elevated temperature. This is a more realistic test of the ability of a compound to inhibit corrosion. Results of these tests can be combined to gain insight into how a particular coating or compound will perform relative to a standard as well as helping identify strengths and weaknesses in the performance of the material.
ASTM D-1654 evaluation standard for painted or coated specimens subjected to corrosive environments was used to evaluate the performance of the coatings. After the paint dried for 24 hours, each plate was scribed with an X and the plate edges were sealed with PVC tape to eliminate corrosion edge effects.
Two visual observations are associated with this rating test. Procedure A involves a rating of the failure at the scribe—the representative creepage of corrosion away from the scribe. Procedure B involves a rating of the failure in the unscribed areas in terms of the percentage which shows corrosion coming through the film. In this way, not only the bulk corrosion-inhibiting action of a pigment through the binder can be rated, but also its “throwing power”.
Zinc and strontium chromates are commercial CrVI-based pigments used extensively to provide corrosion protection to metal surfaces. These pigments were used as performance baselines to determine the effectiveness of permanganate-based pigment compositions developed using the methodology described in this specification.
Chromate pigments were precipitated from aqueous solutions and incorporated into PVB wash primer formulations so that each primer sample had the same molar quantity of hexavalent chromium. These primers were then applied to 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloy samples. After the samples had dried for 24 hours, they were scribed and the edges of each sample taped to eliminate edge effects. These samples were then exposed to 168 hours of both ASTM B-117 and G-85.5. Magnesium chromate is so soluble in aqueous solution that the resin began to cross-link immediately, even before the phosphoric acid diluent was added to the PVB pigment mixture. PVB based paints containing magnesium chromate pigments performed well initially (the first 4 days of the test) but began to degrade rapidly as the chromate was depleted. Insoluble bismuth chromate appeared to enhance the effects of corrosion and performed worse than PVB samples that contained no pigment. Zinc and strontium species with intermediate aqueous solubility provided the greatest corrosion inhibition of the chromate pigments when used in the PVB wash primer.
Table 7 presents the accelerated corrosion testing results for bare 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloy test panels treated with PVB combined with zinc and strontium chromate corrosion inhibiting pigments. For each pigment, the first row shows the results on 2024-T3, and the second row shows the results on 7075-T6. The zinc and strontium chromate treated samples performed well during their period of exposure as is expected from the current state-of-the-art. Minor differences in performance as a function of substrate composition were noted.

MnIII- and MnIV-valence stabilizer compounds were synthesized using either published literature procedures, or standard organometallic synthesis techniques because optimized MnIII and MnIV corrosion-inhibiting pigment materials are not commercially available. The pigment syntheses were mainly aqueous-based precipitation techniques, although some pigments (i.e., those using some selected organic valence stabilizers) needed alcohol/water mixtures for the synthesis due to the low solubility of the valence stabilizer compound in pure water. Table 8 shows the MnIII- and MnIV-valence stabilizer combinations used for these optimized manganese-containing paints. As can be seen in Table 8, MnIII and MnIV pigments containing both inorganic and organic valence stabilizers were formed.
Table 9 presents the accelerated corrosion testing results for bare 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloy test panels treated with inorganically stabilized MnIII and MnIV pigments in PVB, while Table 10 shows some organically stabilized manganese pigments. Table 9 shows the samples that were produced, as well as the pigment contained within them. Note that the molar concentration of MnIII or MnIV in these paints is much less than that in the zinc chromate primers (7.44×10−3 M). This was done because the molecular weight of the MnIII or MnIV compounds exceeds that of zinc chromate, implying that a much larger mass would be necessary to achieve equal molar concentrations of MnIII or MnIV and CrVI. As can be seen in the corrosion exposure results, even with these much lower molar concentrations of MnIII or MnIV, the “optimized” pigments provided comparable or substantial corrosion protection compared to chromium. These pigments also outperformed by a significant margin those pigments (i.e., molybdates, tungstates, phosphates, borates, cyanamides) containing no inherent oxidizer properties. For each pigment, the first row shows the performance of one sample under the specified conditions, and the second shows the performance of a duplicate sample under the same conditions. It is also interesting to note the change in performance for the MnIII/MnIV pigments just by altering the solubility control agents.

Table 10 shows the results for a few of the organic valence stabilizers evaluated. Due to low substrate supplies, these pigments were only tested on duplicate 2024-T3 aluminum alloy under both ASTM B-117 and G-85 conditions. The molar concentration of MnIII and MnIV in these pigments were also much less than in the standard chromate pigments. Clear progressions in the performance of these pigments as a function of anionic solubility control agents were also observed.
Calcined MnIII and MnIV pigments were prepared by mixing oxides, hydroxides, or peroxides of Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Bi, Co, Ni, or Fe with manganese oxides such as Mn2O3 or MnO2 and firing in air for up to four hours between 400 and 715° C.±10° C. The ceramic oxide pigments were mixed 1:1 by weight with boiled linseed oil. This mixture was painted on to bare 1008 carbon steel sheet that had been prepared with an alkaline cleaning treatment. An identical steel specimen was painted with red-lead (Pb3O4) and boiled linseed for use as a comparison standard. The painted test panels were allowed to dry for 48 hours, X scribed completely through the coating, and then exposed to ASTM B117 for 41 hours.
The Ca-, Zn-, and Sr-containing pigments demonstrated corrosion inhibition performance equal to that of the of the red lead pigments in a side by side comparison. The Ba-containing pigment performed nearly as well as Ca, Zn, and Sr formulations by providing a high degree of surface protection but not quite as good as the red lead standard.
Chromium- or lead-free pigments based on MnIII and/or MnIV which can be used as replacements for the current CrVI or PbIV pigments can be made. Many synthesis methodologies and procedures are available for those skilled in the art of coordination compound synthesis to produce a multitude of MnIII and/or MnIV corrosion inhibiting pigments. One or two synthesis procedures or solvents are likely to be typical for specific MnIII- or MnIV-valence stabilizer combinations. The methodology described in this specification encompasses the entire range of valence stabilized MnIII or MnIV pigment formulations.
Pigments formed in accordance with the prior art are not competitive with the present invention. Prior art embodiments require the use of application processes and chemical compounds that do not form pigments containing valence stabilized MnIII- or MnIV-based active corrosion inhibitors that perform equivalent to current effective commercial hexavalent chromium- or tetravalent lead-based pigment systems.

Accordingly, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the disclosed embodiments, but that it have the full scope permitted by the language of the following claims.
