Quaternary Disinfectants
Quaternary Disinfectants are broad spectrum disinfectants. According to EPA’s definition broad spectrum disinfectants show efficacy against all the three major classes of microbial organisms-Bacteria, Fungi and Viruses
Cleaning products used in houses, industries, public places are mainly based on quaternary ammonium compounds.
The risk of contamination is increasing at an alarming rate in our everyday life. Thus disinfectants are an important component for safeguarding the environment.
Structurally Quaternary ammonium compounds contain a…
SURFACTANTS
Surfactants are surface active agents that aids in the lowering of interfacial tension between two liquids or between a solid and a liquid. All detergents, emulsifiers, wetting agents, foaming agents and dispersants fall under the class of surfactants.
Surfactant molecules are amphiphilic in nature chrachterized by a long hydrophobic tail group and a polar hydrophilic head group .This allows surfactants to achieve solubility in…
Rodine 85- Preventing Metals from Acid Corrosion
In many industrial operations metals such as steel and iron are subjected to very high temperature which often leaves a discoloring oxide layer or scale on the surface. The process of hot rolling, drawing, annealing and molding of metals result in the deposition of organic impurities, stains, rusts and scale which impede further metal processing. In industries same metals are used for a long period which makes them vulnerable to…
Metal Passivation using Rodine 85 for Sulfuric Acid Pickling - ChemEqual
Derusting and descaling operations on industrial metal components require the use of strong mineral acids like sulfuric acid to maintain surface quality. It employs the use of acid baths for oxidative removal of alkali scales and mineral oxide deposits. But mineral acids have a tendency to corrode metal surfaces as well rendering them distorted by formation of pits and loss of base metal.
To retard the corrosive nature of acids, the…
Rodine 2010 Corrosion Inhibitor for Boiler Chemical Cleaning - ChemEqual
Boiler systems and pipelines associated with power plants and heating systems often face the problem of mineral scaling on the inner linings and transmission bends. This is mainly due to the residual hardness of the coolant water used. While treated water is essential, minute traces of partially soluble salts of calcium, magnesium, strontium, as well as due to silica and ferrous oxides. While scaling may lead to choking and rupture…
RO Membrane Antiscalant Nalco PermaTreat PC191 - ChemEqual
Reverse osmosis is a water purification technique developed in 1950’s by US government to remove dissolved solids in saline and brackish water. The principle involves application of waterline pressure over untreated water against a semipermeable membrane. The separated H2O molecules pass through the membrane into a reservoir while contaminants remain on the other side. Over the years, RO has been extensively used for treating industrial feed water. While the primary…
Rodine 31A Corrosion Inhibitor to limit acid attack on base metals - ChemEqual
Formulated with an acidic blend of complex alkyl pyridines, 1, 3-diethyl thiourea, Rodine 31A serves as an aliphatic nitrogen corrosion inhibitor that provides protection to brass, steel and copper metals against the attack of sulfuric, phosphoric, sulfamic, formic acid, acetic oxalic acid, citric acid, bisulfate solution and mixtures thereof and conditionally for hydrochloric acid solutions. Rodine 31A Corrosion Inhibitor presents itself as a chloride free inhibitor. It has a maximum…
NALCLEAN 8940 HCL Based Cleaner For Food Processing Industry - ChemEqual
Food Processing, beverage and dairy industry have recently shown a major interest in Clean-in-Place processes due to increased demands from customers in CIP verification and improvements in hygiene standards, product quality shelf life and microbiological consideration. While microbial contamination requires use of sanitizer and disinfectants, pre-processing like pasteurization etc, removal of mineral scaling, food layering and organic depositions can be easily met with cleaning solutions specifically designed for the purpose.
CIP…
DOWCAL 200 Inhibited Propylene Glycol-based Heat Transfer Fluid- ChemEqual
Propylene glycol, also known as Propane-1,2-diol is used as a heat transfer fluid and antifreeze, particularly as a low corrosion non-toxic substitute to ethylene glycol based cooling systems. In aluminium based cooling systems like HVAC/R, propylene glycol has shown efficacy comparable to ethylene glycol.
Benefits of PG:
-Low freezing point
-The ability to decrease the freezing point of water
-Burst protection
-Low mammalian toxicity
-Low flammability
-Excellent heat transfer properties
-A high boiling point, low vapor pressure
Water based…
RODINE 213 Acid inhibitor for Hydrochloric Acid - ChemEqual
Most metal hot working processes tend to leave a discoloring oxide layer or scale on the surface. Deposition of inorganic impurities, stains, rust and scales from ferrous, cuprous, aluminium and precious metal mostly as oxides hinder with further processes like extrusion, rolling and galvanizing. In jewellery making, soldering and annealing processes leave metal oxide residue that prevent polishing of ornaments. Such impurities are cleaned with the help of diluted solution…
RODINE 92B Acid Inhibitor for Food Processing equipment cleaners - ChemEqual
Effective cleaning of equipment in the food processing industry is required to reduce chances for contamination of during preparation, processing, storage & serving. Cleaning prevents attraction of lower life forms like food pathogens, increases equipment life, boosts employee morale and efficiency and accounts for aesthetic considerations of consumers. The primary cleaning agent is water; free from disease producing organisms, toxic metal ions and objectionable taste & odor. But such quality…
NALCOOL 2000 Automobile Coolant Corrosion Inhibitor - ChemEqual
Corrosion and scaling in automobile cooling systems is primarily by chemical reaction of oxidizing agents in the coolant on the metal components. The type and nature of materials present at heat exchanging surfaces, the temperature of the system, pH and type of corrosive elements present in the coolant determine the type of inhibitor package needed.
Conventional water based coolants constantly need additives in the form of mineral inhibitors such as phosphates,…
