Abstract From the Canadian patent

A single-phase method for quantitatively measuring the anionic surfacatant content of an aqueous machining fluid is provided. The method is carried out at a pH value of from about 1.5 to about 3.0 and from about 9.5 to about 10.6 and involves the addition of an excess of a standardized aqueous solution of 1,3-didecyl-2-methylimidazolium chloride to the sample of aqueous machining fluid and then back titrating the excess 1,3-didecyl-2-methylimidazolium chloride with a standardized aqueous solution of polyvinylsulfuric acid potassium salt in the presence of toluidine blue indicator. Values of the amount of 1,3-didecyl-2-methylimidazolium chloride amount corresponding to anionic …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed August 4, 1997 and granted December 3, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 4, 2017.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 4, 2019.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
