Description

Ammonium Diisopropylnaphthalenesulphonate is a specialized anionic surfactant and dispersant agent. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and solubilizing properties in demanding industrial formulations. It is primarily utilized in sectors requiring high-performance surface-active agents, such as agrochemicals, coatings, and textile processing. Its chemical structure provides effective performance in complex mixtures and under varied pH conditions.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent, dispersant, and emulsifier in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to improve spray coverage and active ingredient stability.
• Coatings and Inks: Serves as a pigment grinding aid and dispersant to prevent agglomeration and ensure uniform color strength and gloss in paints and printing inks.
• Textile Processing: Used in dyeing and printing processes as a levelling agent and dispersant for pigments to achieve even coloration and reduce spotting.
• Industrial Cleaners: Functions as a surfactant in heavy-duty cleaning formulations for degreasing and emulsifying oils and greases.
• Paper Manufacturing: Employed as a dispersant in coating slips and pulp processing to improve sheet formation and coating uniformity.
• Construction Chemicals: Enhances the workability and dispersion of additives in concrete admixtures and cement-based products.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Diisopropylnaphthalenesulphonate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and compliance with relevant industry specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and pH are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product performance.
