Abstract

Corrosion inhibiting aqueous functional fluid compositions are provided which comprise (a) water (b) a water soluble or dispersible, surface active, corrosion inhibiting alkali metal, ammonium or organic amine salt of a water insoluble C.sub.4 to C.sub.9 aliphatic monohydric secondary alcohol half ester of a hydrocarbon cyclic dicarboxylic acid or anhydride, said half ester having a molecular weight of from 240 to 297, (e.g. monoethanolamine salt of the 2-octanol half ester of phthalic acid) and optionally (c) a substance selected from the group consisting of an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant and a lubricant or mixture thereof, the fluid having a pH in the range of 8 to 12. Such aqueous fluids are useful as metal working fluids.
