Description

Dipotassium Hexyl Phosphate CAS NO 56960-85-1 is an organophosphate salt widely utilized as a specialty surfactant and corrosion inhibitor. This compound is valued for its ability to modify surface properties and provide effective metal passivation in demanding industrial environments. It serves as a critical functional additive in sectors such as metalworking, industrial cleaning, and specialty chemical synthesis, where performance and reliability are paramount.

Application

• Metalworking Fluids: Acts as a corrosion inhibitor and anti-wear additive in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and lubricants.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Functions as a surfactant and sequestering agent in heavy-duty alkaline and acidic cleaning formulations for metal surfaces.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Used in drilling muds and completion fluids as a scale inhibitor and for controlling metal ion precipitation.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and antistatic agent in fiber treatment and dyeing processes.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing agent and corrosion inhibitor in water-based primer and coating systems.
• Personal Care: Can be used as a mild surfactant and chelating agent in select rinse-off cosmetic products.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as an intermediate or catalyst in the production of other organophosphorus compounds.
• Water Treatment: Applied as a scale and corrosion inhibitor in industrial cooling and boiler water systems.

Quality Control

Our production of Dipotassium Hexyl Phosphate adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, pH, and moisture content are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
