It is presented in the market in varied packing as per the requirements of our clients. Wide array of chemicals including calcium petroleum sulphonate, barium petroleum sulphonate and others are attributed for high effectiveness, optimum Ph and eco-friendly.
Variety of chemicals offered under the category petroleum sulphonates include following:
Sodium Petroleum Sulphonate:
GL 1649 sodium petroleum sulphonate finds application as surfactant and rust inhibitor.< Sulphonate end of the molecule is of polar nature and hence functions as a typical anionic surfactant, orienting itself with water or other polar materials. While the hydrocarbon tail forms bridge to the non-polar phase.
GL 1649 is used in varied concentrations of 10% to 22% by weight in selected industrial and metalworking applications.
Applications of sodium petroleum sulphonate are tabulated below:
Metalworking Fluids |
GL 1649 Sodium sulfonates functions as emulsifiers and corrosion. inhibitors in metalworking fluids. In liquid system, sulfonates assists in formation of an emulsion by holding oil and water apart so that they can co-exist & form. Suggested SPS: GL 1649L, GL 1649M |
Anti-Corrosion Compounds |
High molecular weight sodium sulfonates provide excellent moisture barriers and adhere to metal surfaces. GL 1649H can be compounded with petroleum oils, waxes, petrolatums and various synthetic materials and the finished products find applications as preservative oils and automotive rust proofing formulations. GL 1649H forms thin film when dissolved to a wide range of solvents. It acts as adhesive holding oil to metal on solid surface. It binds oil to metal chemically, preventing water and air from reaching the surface of the metal. Suggested sps: GL 1649H |
Ore Flotation |
GL 1649 sulfonates serves as flotation agents for various metals and minerals. It has ability to wet the surface of particles rendering the ore hydrophobic. This allows the ore adhered to air bubbles and moved to the surface in the froth. Sulfonate binds the ore particles to air bubbles in froth and thus allow them to rise and separate from rock. Suggested sps: GL 1649M, GL 1649H |
De-emulsifiers |
GL 1649H grade sulfonates acts as de-emulsifier. A bulky structure prevents them from forming a continuous protective film around a droplet. It allows two droplets to contact one another, forming a large droplet which separates from solutions. Suggested SPS: GL 1649H |
Motor Oil and Fuel Additives |
For this application, sodium sulfonates is often converted to calcium or barium salts; though in some situations the sodium sulfonates may be preferred. When it is used as additives, detergency and rust inhibitive properties are the most important functions of GL 1649H. |
Overbasing |
It is a process of beefing up a solfonate molecule with extra atoms including calcium and magnesium to seek out and neutralize excess acids in a mixture. Overbasing is typically used in motor oil additives. Suggested sps: GL 1649H |
The sodium petroleum sulphonate is also used as dry cleaning solvents, printing ink & oil well drilling fluids and also finds application in leather processing.
