Description

A BIOCIDAL CORROSION INHIBITING COMPOSITION
Technical Field
This invention relates to a corrosion inhibiting composition, and in particLilar, to a corrosion inhibiting composition for use with a strong oxidising agent. Background Art
The invention is particularly applicable for sterilising medical instruments which may include brass, copper, aluminium, stainless steel, carbon steel and plastic parts. As will be clear to a person skilled in the art, strong oxidising solutions can catise corrosion in a variety of metals. This is of particular concern in the medical field where strong oxidising solutions are used to sterilise medical equipment. The equipment is, for example, immersed in a bath of oxidising solution, such as an aq ieous solution of stabilised hydrogen peroxide, activated glutaraldehyde, chlorine dioxide or chlorine solution. The solution can cause surface or local corrosion of metal parts of the medical instruments.
Sterilisation is, of course, required however it is desirable to eliminate or at least reduce corrosion. Throughout this specification, unless the context requires otherwise, the word "comprise", or variations such as "comprises" or "comprising" will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated element or integer or group of elements or integers but not the exclusion of any other element or integer or group of elements or integers. Disclosure of the Invention
In a first aspect the present invention provides a corrosion inhibiting composition for use in combination with a strong oxidising agent, said composition comprising at least one aromatic triazole, at least one molybdate salt and at least one nitrate salt. The preferred aromatic triazoles are benzotriazole and tolyltriazole, benzotriazole being more preferred. The preferred molybdate salts are alkali metal salts such as sodium molybdate. The preferred nitrate salts are alkali metal salts such as sodium nitrate.
The corrosion inhibiting composition may include a free-flow agent such as silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide is suitable as it is inert in oxidising solutions. Fumed silicon dioxide improves flow properties of the composition when the composition is in powder form and also gives improved dispersion and solubilisation of the powder in water. It is theorised that this is d ie to an alteration in electrostatic charge and prevention of attractive forces thus inhibiting clumping. The particle surface change from hydrophobic to hydrophilic allows rapid penetration of water through the powder thereby improving solubility.
In a second aspect the present invention provides a biocidal composition comprising a strong oxidising agent and a corrosion inhibiting composition, said corrosion inhibiting composition comprising at least one aromatic triazole, at least one molybdate salt and at least one nitrate salt. The corrosion inhibiting composition may be present in an amount of 1.5 - 15% by weight based on the total weight of the biocidal composition, preferably including 0.5 - 5% by weight of each of the aromatic triazole, the molybdate salt and the nitrate salt.
The strong oxidising agent may be selected from the gimip consisting of monopersulphates, persulphates, perborates, hydrogen peroxide/ peracetic acid, benzoyl peroxide, permanganates, nitrates, and chlorous/hypochlorous acid. Preferred oxidising agents are monopersulfates. The oxidising agent may be included in an amount of 40 - 95% by weight, based on the total weight of the biocidal composition. The biocidal composition may also include at least one water-soluble acid, the acid being selected for compatibility with the oxidising agent to maintain the appropriate pH.
In a composition containing monopersulphates such as potassium monopersulphate, the acid is preferably selected from the group consisting of malic acid, sulfamic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, sorbic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, boric acid, glycolic acid and mixtures thereof. Most preferably, the acids are a mixture of malic acid, sulfamic acid and citric acid.
The biocidal composition may also include surfactants and free flow agents.
A preferred biocidal composition comprises:
(a) 40- 95% potassium monopersulfate (commercial grade);

(c) 0.5- 10% nonionic surfactant; (d) 1.5-15% corrosion inhibiting composition comprising benzotriazole, sodium molybdate and sodium nitrate.
The water-soluble acid is preferably a mixture of malic acid, sulfamic acid and citric acid. Citric acid in particular, when solubilised with monopotassium persulphate provides excellent chelating properties and increases the permeability of the outer membrane of bacteria, particularly gram-negative bacteria. The acid accelerates the formation of nascent oxygen and boosts the reactivity of the oxygen with the cell's metabolism. It promotes the increase in speed of the metabolism to the detriment of the cell.
The combination of citric acid and the oxidising agent at the % stated aids the direct reaction of the molecular structure of the cell's proteins and interferes with enzyme reactions.
The nonionic surfactant may be selected from disulfonated anion surfactants, such as, DOWFAX 20B102 or alkyl polyether alcohol surfactants, such as, Triton DF16.
The sensitivity of the made up solution to trace metals and organic matter is also reduced, thus improving the Liseable life of the solution.
The composition preferably also includes 0.1 - 5% of a free flow agent such as fumed silicon dioxide.
The biocidal composition is usually made up in powder form and is diluted in deionised water for use, preferably to a concentration of 2.5-7.5% w/v more preferably 5% w/v. The pH of the made up solution is approximately 2.0. In a third aspect the present invention provides a method of reducing corrosivity of a strong oxidising agent characterised in that a strong oxidising agent is used in conjunction with a corrosion inhibiting composition comprising at least one aromatic triazole, at least one molybdate salt and at least one nitrate salt. Preferably the corrosion inhibiting composition comprises benzotriazole, an alkali metal molybdate salt such as sodium molybdate and an alkali metal nitrate salt such as sodmm nitrate. The corrosion inhibiting composition may also include a free flow agent such as fumed silicon dioxide.
In a fourth aspect the present invention provides the use of the corrosion inhibiting composition of the first aspect of the invention for reducing the corrosivity of a strong oxidising agent. In a fifth aspect the present invention provides a method of cleaning and sterilising a surface comprising contacting the surface with a strong oxidising agent and a corrosion inhibiting composition, said corrosion inhibiting composition comprising at least one aromatic triazole, at least one molybdate salt and at least one nitrate salt.
The surface may be selected from plastics, carbon steel and metals including brass, aluminium, copper and alloys thereof and stainless steel. The surface may comprise at least in part, one or more surfaces. The surfaces will be at least partially protected from corrosion which may otherwise occur in the presence of the oxidising agent. Preferably the surfaces are selected from metals. Brief Description of the Drawings

Figure 3 is a graph of measured anodic current vs applied potential for an aluminium electrode comparing a 5% w/v solution of a composition of the present invention with a reference composition.
Figures 4 and 5 are graphs similar to Fig. 3 using an akiminium alloy electrode.
Figures 6 and 7 are graphs similar to Fig. 3 using stainless steel electrodes.
In order that the invention be more clearly understood, preferred forms thereof will now be described with reference to the following examples. Best Modes The most straightforward electrochemical procedure has been applied in conjunction with the microscope examination of materials before and after testing. When driven electrochemically to corrosion during testing, the mode of degradation observed was by pitting. Consequently, estimates of "corrosion current" are not meaningful because the CLirrent densities depend on the specific areas of electrochemical activity which are not readily measurable and, indeed are changing continually both in number and extent.
The test involves imposing on the test specimen a steadily increasing aggressive potential and observing the resulting anodic current. (This is a poteniodynamic procedure.) Until active corrosion (pitting) occurs, low anodic currents allow some comparison of the respective stabilities of metallic components and the likelihood of galvanic effects. The potential corresponding to the establishment of pitting is a measure of the effectiveness of the intrinsic passivity or of inhibition. In practice, a single open cell is used which contains the test piece, suitably mounted as an electrode, a calomel reference electrode and an iridium counter electrode. The potential between the test electrode and the reference is monitored and controlled by a Solartron Instruments Electrochemical Interface (Type 1286) which supplies the measured and recorded corrosion current via the Iridium electrode. This instrument is computer controlled, either by a Hewlett Packard 9000/216 with Solartron software 1090 or an IBM PS2 system 80 with University written software for data logging, electrochemical control and graphic outputs.
Test electrodes are immersed in the electrolyte until the open circuit potential stabilises. The potential is then swept anodically until passivation or inhibition breaks down. It is an important feature of the experiment that the applied potential should change slowly (typically 0.5 mV Sec'1) to allow the surface phases to respond.
In the present tests, the cell is held at 20°C. The metals to be tested were immersed in the electrolyte solutions described below for 2 hour periods.
The electrolytes correspond to biocidal compositions. A corrosion inhibiting composition according to the present invention (shown below as (A)) and a comparative reference composition (B), containing a corrosion inhibiting composition outside the scope of the present invention, were added to the biocidal composition. Biocidal composition: Qty w/w
Potassium monopersulfate (commercial grade) 82.5%
Citric acid (ANH) 9.0%
Malic acid 0.5%
Sulfamic acid (ANH) 0.5%
Nonionic surfactant 7.5%
The above biocidal composition is added to the following compositions, (A) and (B):
(A) Corrosion Inhibiting composition of the invention:
Figure imgf000008_0001
The resulting compositions are diluted with deionised water to a concentration of 5% w/w to form the electrolytes and the corrosiveness of each solution was compared using the potentiodynamic test described above.
The resvilts of the test were assessed with reference to Figures 1 to 7.
For the comparative composition (B), the electrolyte is aggressive towards brass and copper but harmless to stainless steel. In practical use, for an item comprising stainless steel as well as brass, there would be a risk of contamination of the stainless steel components with corrosion products from brass. This could lead to harmful galvanic effects.
For the composition of the present invention (A) there is a dramatic improvement in the performance of brass, aluminium and aluminium alloy. Good corrosion inhibition is also foLind on the stainless steels. The combination of sodium nitrate with sodium molybdate and benzotriazole has a synergistic effect giving improved performance and allowing active levels to be reduced.
When used in conjunction with a strong oxidising agent, the reduction of corrosion inhibitor levels allows more oxidising agent to be present thus boosting biocidal activity.
It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that numerous variations and/or modifications may be made to the invention as shown in the specific embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as broadly described. The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.
