Applications
Oil Soluble Derivatives
Oil soluble derivatives can be produced by reaction with metal oxides, hydroxides or overbased petroleum sulphonates of calcium or barium. They are ideal for use as:
- Rust preventives oils
(Temporary-solvent or oil deposited or long term protective products, dewatering products and hot melt products)
- Wire rope dressings
- Grease formulations
- Oil based concrete mould release agents (also prevent corrosion of metal formers)
- Plasticisers in putties and mastics
Reaction with lithium or aluminum salts also produces oil soluble derivatives.
Water Soluble Derivatives
Neutralisation with sodium or potassium hydroxide produces a salt (soap) with increased water dispersibility. These derivatives find use in:
- Concrete water proofers
- Water based printing inks
- Oil based muds
Reaction with ammonia or morpholine produces a water soluble/dispersible product, which on drying leaves a water resistant film, excellent for:
- Water-based rust preventives
Reaction of oxidised hydrocarbon waxes with alkanolamines produces soaps having excellent properties for the formulation of emulsifiable concentrates for:
- Drawing compounds
- Concrete mould release agents
- Pressing lubricants
Esterified Derivatives
Oxidised waxes can be esterified with alcohols. These esters have excellent oil solubility characteristics with minimal staining and corrosion to ferrous and nonferrous metals thus finding uses as:
- Lubricity additives
- Additives for dewatering rust preventives
- Mould release agents
Oxidised waxes may be neutralised with fatty amines to form oil soluble corrosion inhibitors.
