CI-302

Barium alkylbenzene sulfonate (neutral)

Barium sulfonates give the strongest salt-spray and humidity-cabinet performance of the three metals. European acceptance of barium chemistry is the constraint, not the performance — see the compliance flags before quoting this grade in the EU.

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-302. Certificates of analysis accompany each consignment and retained samples are held for the full shelf life.
