-
Made from natural petroleum oil feedstocks
-
Enhances the ability of the sulfonate to interact with the oil and provides excellent emulsification compared to a synthetic sodium sulfonate of the same equivalent weight.
-
Possess a structure which is composed of a poly-alkylated aromatic ring system, where the alkylates are primarily branched and short-chained, while typical synthetic sodium sulfonates are mono-alkylated aromatic ring systems where the alkylates are linear and long-chained
-
The presence of these short-chained branched alkyl aromatic groups provides benefits in both emulsion and rust prevention for the sodium sulfonates by improving the compatibility with the base oil
-
Sonneborn's sodium sulfonates provide excellent emulsion quality and corrosion resistance
-
While the low equivalent weight sulfonates provide excellent emulsion performance, the high equivalent weight sulfonates provide unsurpassed rust prevention
-
Depending on the application, the balance of these two properties are critical for performance in any market
-
In the oilfield and mining markets, which are less concerned with rust prevention they prefer the strong emulsifier Petronate® L, while the industrial oils market, where rust prevention is a large concern, prefers the corrosion prevention of the Petronate H and Petronate HH
-
In the metalworking industry, a balance of both the emulsion and corrosion performance is critical to a successful formulation and the market prefers the balanced emulsion and corrosion resistance of Petronate HL
