Technical Details & Test Data

Product Efficacy Studies

• Hydrotrope Properties of DiTech Amphoteric Surfactant B:

DiTech Amphoteric Surfactant B is the superior hydrotrope when compared to other high foaming amphoteric surfactants in several electrolytic systems. To determine hydrotrope capabilities, a series of cloud point tests were performed with 3% NPE-9 and 2.5% hydrotrope in the electrolytes listed below. The higher the cloud point temperature, the more efficient the hydrotrope.

• Corrosion Inhibition Properties of DiTech Amphoteric Surfactant B:

ACID CORROSION PROTECTION: Metal panels were submerged in the acid solutions and placed in sealed jars at room temperature and observed for signs of corrosion.

 

Cold-Rolled Steel

HARD WATER CORROSION PROTECTION: Metal panels were submerged in hard water (100 ppm as CaCO3 and 71 ppm as chloride) in sealed jars at room temperature and observed for signs of corrosion over time. The following photos were taken at 72 hours.

Metal Panels:

1. Steel Panels: Q-Panel – Type RS – low carbon, cold-rolled steel, 0.063” thick, ½ hard.
2. Aluminum Panels: Q-Panel – Type AR - Alloy 2024T3 bare, 0.063” thick, 120 hardness.
