POLYRAD" SURFACTANTS Chemical Key to Better Products Are you acquainted with the Polyrad family? Chances are that the unusual characteristics of these commercially available surfactants will suggest an improved process or belter product for you. These ethylene oxide derivatives of Hercules Rosin Amine LD, are viscous liquids or wax-like solids. They ar-e soluble in water, hydrocarbons, alcohols, alkalies,and acids and brines, depend ing on molecmlar weight. Mildly cationic sur face active age^nts, Polyrad adsorbs readily on metallic surfaces. Polyrad surfactants have already indicated their value in many ways. For anti-cratering action and batih mud control, they are useful in rayon manufacture. Their wide range of per formance includes wetting agents, emulsifiers, and demulsifioation chemicals. As corrosion inhibitors for mineral acids and brines, they are used in crude oil wells and petroleum refiner ies, and as inhibitors (and wetting agents) for hydrochloric scid in oil well acidizing and in dustrial cleaning compounds. If the versatile Polyrad group appears to have potential value to you we'd be glad to work with you in exploring it further. Technical in formation will be sent on request.
. . AS ΑΝΤΙ - CRATERING AGENT — In rayon manufacture, Polyrad has been useful both lor anti-cratering action and bath mud control.
