Technical Details & Test Data

Product Efficacy Studies
  • Hydrotrope Properties

DePHOS 8028 was evaluated for its ability to hydrotrope NPE-9 into several alkaline electrolytes. 3.75% by weight of DePHOS 8028 was added to an electrolyte solutions followed by 5% by weight NPE-9. The solution was heated until reaching the cloud point, the temperature at which the NPE-9 clouds out of solution.

  • Hydrogen Peroxide Stability

 2% DePHOS 8028 by weight was added to varying concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and monitored over time. After 12 weeks at ambient temperature, very little peroxide degradation was observed. All samples were clear and free from precipitate initially as well as at the end of the test period.

  • Draves Wetting

DePHOS 8028 exhibits fast wetting properties at low concentrations. At 0.1% by weight in deionized water the wetting speed is 22 seconds.

  • Modified Ross-Miles Foam Height

DePHOS 8028 has relatively fast breaking foam. Foam height was conducted via modified RossMiles graduated cylinder shake test at 0.1% in deionized water at ambient temperature.

  • Corrosion Testing using DePHOS 8028

DePHOS 8028 is an effective corrosion inhibitor suggested for use in aqueous systems. Metal coupons were partially submerged in a solution containing from 0.25% -1% by weight DePHOS 8028 in hard water (100 ppm as CaCO3 and 71 ppm as chloride) and stored in sealed glass jars at room temperature. The top halves of the panels were exposed to the vapor phase.
