POLYRAD' SURFACTANTS Chemical Key to Better Products
. . AS ANTI-CRATERING AGENT—-In rayon manufacture, Polyrad has been useful both for anti-cratering action and bath mud control.
Axe you acquainted with the Polyrad fajnily? Chances are that the unusual chiaracteristics of these commercially available surfactants will suggest an improved process or tetter product for you. These ethylene oxide derivatives of Hercules Rosin Amine D, are viscous liquids or wax-like solids. They are soluble in water, hydrocarbons, alcohols, alkalies, and acids and brines, depending on molecular weight. Mildly cationic surface active agents, Polyrad adsorbs readily on metallic surfaces. Polyrad surfactants have already indicated their value i n many ways. For anti-cratering action and bath mud control, they are useful in rayon manufacture. Their wide range of performance includes wetting agents, emulsifiers, and demxilsification chemicals. As corrosion inhibitors for niineral acids and brines, they are used in crude oil wells and petroleum refineries, and a s inhibitors (and wetting agents) for hydrochloric acid in oil well acidizing and industrial cleaning compounds. If the versatile Polyrad group appears to have potential value t o you we'd be glad to work with you in exploring it further. Technical information will be sent on request.
