Metalworking Fluids

GL 1649 sodium sulphonates functions as emulsifiers and corrosion inhibitors in metalworking fluids. In liquid system, sulphonates helps in formation of an emulsion by holding oil and water apart so that they can co-exist & form. Suggested SPS: GL 1649L, GL 1649M

Anti-Corrosion Compounds

High molecular weight sodium sulphonates provide excellent moisture barriers and adhere to metal surfaces. GL 1649H can be compounded with petroleum oils, waxes, petroleum and various synthetic materials and the finished products find applications as preservative oils and automotive rust proofing formulations. GL 1649H forms thin film when dissolved to a wide range of solvents. It acts as adhesive holding oil to metal on solid surface. It binds oil to metal chemically, preventing water and air from reaching the surface of the metal. Suggested SPS: GL 1649H

Ore Flotation

GL 1649 sulphonate serves as flotation agents for various metals and minerals. It has ability to wet the surface of particles rendering the ore hydrophobic. This allows the ore adhered to air bubbles and moved to the surface in the froth. Sulphonate binds the ore particles to air bubbles in froth and thus allow them to rise and separate from rock. Suggested SPS: GL 1649M, GL 1649H

GL 1649H grade sulphonates act as de-emulsifier. A bulky structure prevents them from forming a continuous protective film around a droplet. It allows two droplets to contact one another, forming a large droplet which separates from solutions. Suggested SPS: GL 1649H

Motor Oil and Fuel Additives

For this application, sodium sulphonates are often converted to calcium or barium salts; though in some situations the sodium sulphonates may be preferred. When it is used as additives, detergency and rust inhibitive properties are the most important functions of GL 1649H.

It is a process of beefing up a sulphonate molecule with extra atoms including calcium and magnesium to seek out and neutralize excess acids in a mixture. Over basing is typically used in motor oil additives. Suggested SPS: GL 1649H

Garment Industry

GL 1649 sulphonates are also used in garment industry for leather processing.
