Description

Naphthenic Acids, Zinc Salts, Basic is a metal carboxylate compound derived from naphthenic acids, a class of carboxylic acids found in petroleum. This product serves as a versatile and effective multi-functional additive, primarily valued for its role as a corrosion inhibitor, lubricant stabilizer, and catalyst component. It is essential for manufacturers in the lubricant, fuel additive, polymer, and metalworking industries seeking to enhance product performance and longevity.

Application

• Corrosion Inhibitor: A key component in industrial lubricating oils, greases, and fuel additives to protect metal surfaces from oxidation and rust.
• Lubricant Additive: Functions as a detergent and stabilizer in engine oils and industrial lubricants to prevent sludge formation and maintain viscosity.
• Polymer Stabilizer: Acts as a heat stabilizer and co-stabilizer in PVC and other halogenated polymer formulations to prevent degradation during processing.
• Catalyst & Intermediate: Used as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in organic synthesis and as an intermediate for other metal naphthenates.
• Wood Preservative: Employed in formulations for wood treatment to impart fungicidal and water-repellent properties.
• Paint & Coating Drier: Serves as a secondary drier in alkyd resin-based paints and coatings to promote uniform drying and film formation.
