Technical Details & Test Data

Technical Information

Hydrotrope Properties Data - Deteric™ LP

  • DeTERIC™ LP is the superior hydrotrope when compared to other high foaming amphoteric surfactants in several electrolytic systems.
  • To determine hydrotrope capabilities, a series of cloud point tests were performed with 3% NPE-9 and 2.5% hydrotrope in the electrolytes listed below.

Corrosion Inhibition Properties

Acid Corrosion Protection

  • Metal panels were submerged in the acid solutions and placed in sealed jars at room temperature and observed for signs of corrosion.

Hard Water Corrosion Protection

  • Metal panels were submerged in hard water (100 ppm as CaCO₃ and 71 ppm as chloride) in sealed jars at room temperature and observed for signs of corrosion over time.
