High Refined Naphthenic Acids

High Refined Naphthenic Acids refer to a purified form of naphthenic acids, which are a complex mixture of cycloaliphatic carboxylic acids primarily derived from crude oil distillation. These acids are commonly found in naphthenic base oils and are typically extracted and refined for industrial applications.
Properties of High Refined Naphthenic Acids

   Purity: Significantly reduced impurities compared to raw naphthenic acids.
   Acidic Nature: Contains carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, making them effective for certain chemical reactions.
   Solubility: Soluble in organic solvents and slightly soluble in water.
   Corrosiveness: Can be corrosive to metals, especially in the presence of moisture.
   Thermal Stability: Generally stable under moderate temperatures.

Applications

   Metalworking Fluids – Used as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in lubricants.
   Rubber and Tire Industry – Acts as a processing aid and tackifier for rubber compounding.
   Paints and Coatings – Used in alkyd resins and driers.
   Wood Preservatives – Effective in preventing wood decay and protecting against insects.
   Fuel Additives – Helps improve fuel properties and prevent oxidation.
   Lubricants and Greases – Used in the formulation of industrial lubricants.
   Surfactants and Emulsifiers – Enhances emulsification properties in different industrial processes.
   Petroleum Refining – Can be used in refining processes to modify crude oil fractions.

Advantages of High Refined Naphthenic Acids

   Reduced sulfur and heavy metal content.
   More consistent composition compared to crude or unrefined naphthenic acids.
   Improved performance in industrial applications due to enhanced purity.
