Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate
Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate is a chemical compound derived from naphthalene. It is a fine brown powder completely soluble in water with several applications in different industries such as:
- Construction (concrete additives)
- Agriculture
- Water Treatment
- Coatings and paints
- Textile industry
SODIUM NAPHTHALENE SULFONATE IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate is used as a concrete additive in the construction industry.
Some of its benefits are:
- It works as a highly effective water reducer without affecting the workability of the concrete and increasing its strength.
- It acts as a plasticizer, improving the workability of the concrete and facilitating its compaction.
- It reduces the segregation and the concrete bleeding during mixing and transportation.
SODIUM NAPHTHALENE SULFONATE IN THE AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY
Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate is used in the formulation of agrochemicals. It is a biodegradable and non-toxic product.
Some of its benefits are:
- It works as a dispersing and emulsifying agent, helping active ingredients to be evenly distributed in the solution and stay suspended during storage and use.
- Acting as a wetting and surfactant agent, it helps reduce the surface tension of the liquid, allowing it to spread better on surfaces and thereby improving the effectiveness of the applied products.
- It reduces the leaching of nutrients and pesticides in the soil.
SODIUM NAPHTHALENE SULFONATE IN THE WATER TREATMENT INDUSTRY
Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate is used in the water treatment industry. Some of its benefits are:
- It reduces the surface tension of water, increasing the penetration capacity of chemicals in water treatment.
- It acts as a dispersing agent, helping to keep particles in suspension.
- It can act as a chelating and coagulating agent.
- It helps reduce the load of organic pollutants in water, which helps improve water quality.
SODIUM NAPHTHALENE SULFONATE IN THE COATINGS AND PAINTS INDUSTRY
Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate is used as a dispersing and wetting agent in the production of pigments and inks. Some of its benefits are:
- It disperses pigments in the solution, achieving a uniform distribution.
- It increases the wetting of the surfaces to be coated and prevents foam formation during production.
- It acts as an antifoaming agent, avoiding the formation of bubbles on the surface of the paint during its application.
SODIUM NAPHTHALENE SULFONATE IN THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY
Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate is used in the textile industry. Some of its benefits are:
- It functions as a dispersing agent for dyes and pigments in the solution, achieving a uniform distribution in the fabric and improving the quality and durability of the color.
- It reduces viscosity in the solution, achieving a faster and more efficient dyeing process.
- It functions as a water reducer in the dyeing process.
