DeTROPE CA-100 Hydrotrope Data
Hydrotroping capabilities were determined in a series of cloud point tests. The hydrotrope was solubilized in a caustic or alkaline electrolyte solution followed by addition of a 9.5-mole nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE-9.5). Each sample was heated to the temperature at which the NPE-9.5 clouds out of solution. The graph below depicts the cloud point temperature of each solution. The higher the cloud point temperature, the more efficient the hydrotrope.

Dynamic Surface Tension of DeTROPE CA-100
Dynamic surface tension measurements were conducted on DeTROPE CA-100 at ambient temperature in deionized water. Compared to SXS-40, DeTROPE CA-100 provides significantly lower surface tension.

Panel Submersion Corrosion Testing with DeTROPE CA-100:
The bottom half of each metal panel was submerged in solution containing 0.25% - 1.0% by weight of DeTROPE CA-100 in hard water (100 ppm as CaCO3 & 71 ppm as chloride) at room temperature. The top half of the panel was exposed to the vapor phase in closed glass containers.
