Description

Naphthenic Acids, Ethoxylated CAS NO 68410-62-8 is a non-ionic surfactant produced by the ethoxylation of naphthenic acids, a class of carboxylic acids derived from petroleum. This chemical modification significantly enhances its surface-active properties, making it a versatile and effective emulsifier, dispersant, and wetting agent in demanding formulations. It is a critical raw material for industrial manufacturers requiring robust performance in challenging environments, particularly where compatibility with alkaline or organic solvent-based systems is essential.

Application

• Metalworking Fluids: Acts as a primary emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and semi-synthetic cutting and grinding fluids.
• Agricultural Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates (EC, SC formulations) to improve stability and sprayability.
• Lubricant & Grease Additives: Functions as a surfactant and rust inhibitor in industrial lubricants and greases, enhancing their protective properties.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, lubricant, and emulsifier in fiber processing and dyeing baths.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Employed as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid in solvent-based and alkaline coating systems to prevent settling and improve color development.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and completion fluids as an emulsifier and wetting agent.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Provides effective emulsification and cleaning power in heavy-duty degreasers and solvent-based cleaners.

Quality Control

Our Naphthenic Acids, Ethoxylated is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance and meets the specifications agreed upon with our customers. Key parameters such as acid value, hydroxyl value, saponification value, and ethoxylation degree are controlled. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong alkalis and incompatible materials. The product is compatible with organic solvents but should be stored in its original container to prevent contamination.
