The interfering effects of surfactants on the effectiveness of water soluble rust inhibitors in water base metal working fluids and water base metal cleaners were investigated.

With lipositol?acrylamide and glutamate as main materials, aqueous antirusting agent of type of environmental protection is prepared .

This paper introduces the preparation of water-borne anti-rust coatings, using iron oxide red as anti-rust extender pigment, zinc phosphate and zinc oxide as anti-rust pigments, lepidolite as flake pigment and styrene/acrylic latex as binder; analyzes the factors influencing the performances and compares the performances with solvent-borne antirust coatings.
