Metalworking Fluids:

• Sodium sulfonates have had a long history of use in metalworking fluids. It function as emulsifiers and corrosion inhibitors.
• In liquid system, sulfonates can hold oil and water apart so that they can co-exist & form an emulsion.

Anti-Corrosion Compounds:

• High molecular weight sodium sulfonates adhere to metal surfaces and provide excellent moisture barriers. It can be compounded with petroleum oils, waxes, petrolatums and various synthetic materials. Finished products are used in applications such as preservative oils and automotive rust proofing formulations. They are also compatible with a wide range of solvents when thin films are desirable.
• On solid surface, sulfonates functions like adhesive, holding oil to metal. By chemically bonding oil to metal, sulfonates prevent water and air from reaching the surface of the metal.

Perlastan L has hydrophobic character in its acidic state. Neutralisation with MEA, TEA, long fatty acid amines, KOH, NaOH etc. activates its amphiphilic properties.
