Applications
Corrosion inhibitors
Naphthenic acids can be used as a building block for metal naphthenates and corrosion-inhibitor systems for industrial fluids.
Lubricants and greases
For selected industrial lubricant, metalworking-fluid and grease formulations where naphthenate chemistry is required.
Coatings
Used in coating and resin systems, including applications that use metal naphthenates as formulation components.
Flotation and mineral processing
Potentially suitable for selected flotation chemistries, subject to ore testing, formulation review and local regulatory requirements.
Packaging and origin
Available packaging is 190 kg drums or 900 kg IBCs. Origin, transport classification and the documentation package are confirmed with the quotation for the selected grade and destination.
