Phosphate Esters
Phosphate esters are anionic surfactants which are produced by phosphation of (ethoxylated) aliphatic or aromatic alcohols.
Phosphate esters are used as emulsifying, corrosion inhibitors and anti-wear additives in metalworking fluids, wetting agents, anti-statics and hydrotropes in cleaning formulations.
By carefully selecting the type of alcohol ethoxylate used and the mono to di-ester ratio the NiPhos multifunctional phosphate esters offer specific advantages including stability over a broad pH range, good solubility, softer soap (scum) deposits and corrosion inhibiting properties.
NiPHOS IPP76 is a triaryl isopropylated phosphate with the CAS No of 68937-41-7. It has excellent wear protection properties and is Particularly suitable for the production of metalworking fluids, transmission and hydraulic oils. It can be used as a flame retardant plasticizer in a variety of polymers such as PVC, PET or EPDM. The NiMAC IPP76 is our offered alternative to the Durad 220.
NiPhos 4000 is a phosphate ester of an oleyl (C18) alcohol plus 5 moles of ethoxylation. It is used as an anionic emulsifier and anti-wear additive in a wide range of industrial formulations. This phosphate ester has improved low temperature properties and reduces the hardness of soap scum deposits in metalworking fluids as compared to the more commonly available oleyl/cetyl based phosphate esters.
