Description

Lithium Butylnaphthalenesulphonate is an organometallic salt widely utilized as a high-performance surfactant and dispersing agent. Its value lies in its ability to effectively reduce surface tension and stabilize colloidal systems in demanding industrial environments. This compound is essential for manufacturers in sectors such as agrochemicals, construction materials, and specialty coatings who require reliable and consistent additive performance.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a potent wetting and dispersing agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, improving spray coverage and active ingredient stability.
• Construction Chemicals: Used as a plasticizer and air-entraining agent in concrete admixtures and cement grinding aids to enhance workability and final product properties.
• Industrial Coatings & Inks: Serves as a pigment grinding aid and dispersant, preventing agglomeration and ensuring color consistency and gloss in paints and printing inks.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Functions as an emulsifier and viscosity modifier in drilling mud formulations and enhanced oil recovery processes.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a levelling agent and dispersant in dye baths to achieve uniform coloration and improve dye fixation.
• Detergent & Cleaning Products: Used in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations for its surfactant properties and compatibility with builders.

Quality Control

Our Lithium Butylnaphthalenesulphonate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, impurity profile, and physical property verification, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and consistent performance benchmarks. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are provided with every shipment.

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); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
