Description

Zinc Dodecylbenzenesulphonate is an organometallic salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, valued for its surfactant and emulsifying properties. This compound is a critical component in formulations requiring metal-based stabilization and hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the lubricant, polymer, and specialty chemical industries for its role as an anti-wear additive, emulsifier, and catalyst component.

Application

• As a high-performance anti-wear and extreme pressure (EP) additive in industrial lubricants and greases.
• Functioning as an emulsifier and stabilizer in oil-based drilling muds and metalworking fluids.
• Acting as a catalyst or co-catalyst in specific organic synthesis and polymerization reactions.
• Utilized as a hydrophobic agent and dispersant in pigment and dye preparations.
• Employed in the formulation of corrosion inhibitors for metal surface treatment.
• Serving as a key ingredient in certain detergent and cleaning compound formulations for industrial use.
