Products in Technical Salts & Inorganics: Lubricants

P.A.T Calcium Stearate is a fine, white powder. It is an insoluble salt of calcium, stearic acid, and palmitic acid. Recognized as physiologically safe, calcium stearate has gained increasing importance in recent years. This substance remains insoluble in most solvents. While it dissolves only slightly when heated in aromatic compounds, chlorinated hydrocarbons, or vegetable and mineral oils and waxes,

Libratex DOS70K is a solution containing 70% di-octylsulphosuccinate in odorless kerosene. This product is insoluble in water but has a wide range of applications in oil and solvent systems. As an anionic substance, Libratex DOS70K is compatible with both anionic and nonionic surfactants. It is particularly valuable in agricultural formulations, where it aids in the emulsification of oils and solvents. Additionally, it finds use in lubricants, dispersants, and paints, offering excellent wetting abilities and oil solubility, enhancing performance in these applications.

Potassium acetate (CH3COOK) is a hygroscopic granular powder which is soluble in water (and many other solvents). Aqueous solutions of potassium formate have pH between 7.5-9.0 which makes slightly alkaline to a near neutral pH which is not caustic or corrosive unlike bromide, fluoride, chloride, nitrate, hydroxide, sulfate, thiosulfate or carbonate salts, which are either strongly acidic or basic. Such favorable pH makes it an easy choice for users to substitute corrosive salts in many applications.
