Description

Barium Dodecylbenzenesulphonate is a barium salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, functioning as a versatile anionic surfactant and metal soap. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and stabilizing properties in non-aqueous systems. It is primarily utilized in industrial sectors requiring high-performance additives for lubricants, greases, and polymer production.

Application

• As a key component in the formulation of high-temperature and extreme-pressure lubricating greases and additives.
• An effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of polymer dispersions and plastisols.
• Used as a corrosion inhibitor and anti-wear agent in industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• Acts as a catalyst or co-catalyst in various organic synthesis and polymerization reactions.
• Serves as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers in coatings, inks, and specialty chemical preparations.
• Employed in the research and development of fuel and oil additives to improve performance characteristics.
