Foam Height Properties of DeTROPE SA-45:
The foaming properties of DeTROPE SA-45 were determined via modified Ross-Miles, graduated cylinder shake test. The foam heights are presented in the following charts compared to sodium xylene sulfonate (SXS-40) and are reported as millimeters of foam present initially, at 30 seconds, at 60 seconds and after 2 minutes.
-
Hydrotrope Cloud Point Properties of DeTROPE SA-45 (continued):
To determine hydrotroping capabilities, a series of cloud point tests were performed. The hydrotrope was solubilized in caustic or alkaline electrolyte solution to which a 9.5 mole nonyl phenol was added. Each sample was heated to the temperature at which the NPE-9.5 clouds out of solution. The higher the cloud point temperature, the more efficient the hydrotrope. The control is 1% NPE-9.5 in each alkaline electrolyte solution without hydrotrope added. The hydrotroping capabilities of DeTROPE SA-45 at higher levels of NP-9.5 show similar trends (data available on request).
Key:
- NaOH = Sodium Hydroxide
- SMP = Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate
- TKPP = Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate
- SXS-40 = Sodium Xylene Sulfonate 40% active
-
Dynamic Surface Tension of DeTROPE SA-45:
Dynamic surface tension was conducted at 1.0% and 2.0% by weight in distilled water at ambient temperature. DeTROPE SA-45 provides considerably lower surface tension as compared to SXS-40.
-
Corrosion Inhibition Properties of DeTROPE SA-45:
Metal coupons were partially submerged in a solution containing from 0.25% - 1.0% by weight of DeTROPE SA-45 in hard water (100ppm as CaCO3 and 71ppm as CaCl2) and stored in sealed glass jars at room temperature. The top halves of the panels were exposed to the vapor phase.
