OXIDIZED PETROLATUMS OVERVIEW

Chemically oxidized petrolatums are mixtures of long-chained, branched and cyclic hydrocarbons and their derivates like organic acids, oxi-acids and esters. The acids present in our Oxidized Petrolatums can be neutralized with bivalent metal oxides giving end-products of a high molecular weight and wax-like nature with excellent water-resitant properties and corrosion protection

MAIN APPLICATION

Neutralisation can be achieved with preferably calcium-hydroxide or zinc-oxide in a white spirit dilution. The white spirit solution of neutralized products gives improved anti-corrosion properties by the addition of a high-molecular petroleum sulfonate. To obtain special characteristics in the end-product it is also possible to add a certain quantity of microwax (Witcovar 146) and/or Petrolatum. The end-product may be sprayed of brushed on the metal surface to be protected.
