Description

Sulfonic Acids, Petroleum, Potassium Salts are a class of synthetic surfactants derived from petroleum feedstocks. These potassium salts are valued for their excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties, making them critical components in high-performance industrial formulations. They are primarily utilized by manufacturers in the lubricant, metalworking, and agrochemical industries seeking reliable and cost-effective anionic surfactants.

Application

• Lubricant & Grease Additives: As emulsifiers and rust inhibitors in soluble oils, metalworking fluids, and industrial lubricants.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as wetting agents, dispersants, and emulsifiers in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.
• Industrial Cleaning: Key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, engine cleaners, and institutional cleaning products.
• Textile Processing: Acts as a levelling agent, wetting agent, and emulsifier in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an anionic emulsifier in the production of synthetic rubbers, latex, and polymers.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling mud formulations and as demulsifiers in crude oil processing.

Quality Control

Our Sulfonic Acids, Petroleum, Potassium Salts are manufactured under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent performance in key parameters such as active matter content, alkalinity, and viscosity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications 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). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
