Sodium alkylnaphthalenesulfonate in a light mineral oil
Features & Benefits
- Fluids & Lubricants Features
- Product Advantages
- Forms a highly polar, hydrophobic film which is strongly bonded to metal surfaces
- Does not emulsify or demulsify; therefore, it can be used as a rust preventive additive for emulsion type fluids without destabilizing the emulsion
- Rust preventive films that contain NA-SUL® SS resist re-emulsification from high humidity, thereby increasing metal protection
- Solubility characteristics allow use in oil or water systems
- Corrosion resistance
- Non-staining
- Formulation advantages include solubility & resisting emulsification/demulsification

- Product Uses
- NA-SUL® SS is a high molecular weight synthetic sodium sulfonate with a narrow molecular weight distribution. Unlike most sodium petroleum sulfonates, NA-SUL® SS is not an emulsifier. NA-SUL® SS is used in rust preventive fluids, slushing oils, preservative oils and circulating oils.
- It is also used in rust preventive fluids where staining due to metal-to-metal contact is a problem. Rust preventive formulations based on NA-SUL® SS form protective films on metal parts which provide resistance to re-emulsification.
- NA-SUL® SS is recommended for use in soluble metalworking fluids and coolants to improve rust inhibition where it is significantly superior to sodium petroleum sulfonates. NA-SUL® SS effectively prevents corrosion caused by dissimilar metal contact.
