DETROPETM CA-100 HYDROTROPE DATA
- Hydrotroping capabilities were determined in a series of cloud point tests.
- The hydrotrope was solubilized in a caustic or alkaline electrolyte solution followed by addition of a 9.5-mole nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE-9.5).
- Each sample was heated to the temperature at which the NPE-9.5 clouds out of solution.
- The graph below depicts the cloud point temperature of each solution.
- The higher the cloud point temperature, the more efficient the hydrotrope.

* Key: NaOH = Sodium Hydroxide, SMP = Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate, TKPP = Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate
DYNAMIC SURFACE TENSION OF DeTROPETM CA-100
- Dynamic surface tension measurements were conducted on DeTROPETM CA-100 at ambient temperature in deionized water.
- Compared to SXS-40, DeTROPETM CA-100 provides significantly lower surface tension.

PANEL SUBMERSION CORROSION TESTING WITH DETROPETM CA-100
- The bottom half of each metal panel was submerged in solution containing 0.25% - 1.0% by weight of DeTROPETM CA-100 in hard water (100 ppm as CaCO3 & 71 ppm as chloride) at room temperature.
- The top half of the panel was exposed to the vapor phase in closed glass containers.
