This invention provides a series of novel acrylated, substituted imidazoline corrosion inhibitors of the formula: n n nwherein R 1 is an alkyl radical having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms; R 2 is a radical derived from a fatty acid; and R 3 is a radical derived from an unsaturated acid and a method for inhibiting corrosion in metallic flow lines through the introduction of such inhibitors into a system wherein corrosion is sought to be precluded. |
