CI-300

Sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate (neutral)

Water-tolerant rust inhibitor. The sodium salt is the one that stays functional in emulsions and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids where calcium would drop out.

Cross-reference

Grades a formulator would benchmark CI-300 against. Naming them is not a claim of equivalence — it is where to start the comparison.

The chemistry

Corrosion & Rust Inhibitors

Ferrous surface passivation and water displacement

Typical treat rate0.05 – 1.0 %

Neutral alkylbenzene sulfonates adsorb onto steel and physically exclude water from the surface. Neutral — as opposed to overbased — means they contribute rust protection without the acid-neutralising reserve, so they are used where TBN is not wanted.

Documentation

A full technical data sheet, safety data sheet in the language of the receiving country, REACH status statement and SVHC declaration are issued with every enquiry for CI-300. Certificates of analysis accompany each consignment and retained samples are held for the full shelf life.
