Technical Details & Test Data
- Hydrotrope Data
To determine hydrotroping capabilities, a series of cloud point tests were performed. The hydrotrope was solubilized in a caustic or alkaline electrolyte solution to which a
9.5 mole nonylphenol ethoxylate was added. Each sample was heated to the temperature at which the nonionic clouds out of solution. The graph below depicts the cloud point temperature. The higher the cloud point temperature, the more efficient the hydrotrope.- Hydrotrope Cloud Points: DeTROPE CA - 100 vs SXS 1% NPE-9
Key: NaOH = Sodium Hydroxide, SMP = Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate, TKPP = Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate
- Dynamic Surface Tension
Dynamic surface tension for DeTROPE CA - 100 was conducted at ambient temperature in deionized water. Compared to SXS - 40, DeTROPE CA - 100 provides significantly lower surface tension.

CORROSION TESTING USING DeFOREST CORROSION INHIBITORS
Cast Iron Chip Testing: Figure 1 depicts results of a 24 hour test using grade 35 cast iron chips tested in solution on filter paper. Each solution contained 1% by weight of corrosion inhibitor in hard water (100 ppm as CaCo₃ and 71 ppm as CaCl₂) at room temperature.
- A = Control, no corrosion inhibitor
- B = DeCORE APCI-95
- C = DeCORE IMT-100LF
- D = DeTROPE CA-100
- E = DeCORE BE-85
Submersion Testing:
- Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the results of metal coupon submersion testing in the presence of DeFOREST Enterprises corrosion inhibitors.
- Figure 2: Panels are hot dipped Zn/Fe galvanized (unpolished), 90gms; tested for 1 year.
- Figure 3: Panels are bare aluminum at 0.063 inch thickness; tested for 2 years.
- The top halves of the panels were submerged into a solution containing from 0.5 -1% by weight of corrosion inhibitor in hard water (100 ppm as CaCo₃ and 71 ppm as CaCl₂) at room temperature. The other half of the panel was exposed to the vapor phase in closed glass containers.
Key:
- A = Control, no corrosion inhibitor
- B = DeCORE IMT-100LF at 0.5%
- C = DeTROPE CA-100 at 1.00%
- D = DeCORE BE-85 at 1.00%
Figure 4 depicts result on ground 1/2 hard, low carbon cold rolled steel panels at 0.063 inch thickness after 2 years in the test solution. All solutions contained the following corrosion inhibitors on a ‘by weight’ basis.
- A. Control
- B. DeCORE IMT-100LF, 0.25%
- C. DeTROPE CA-100, 0.25%
- D. DeCORE IMT-100LF, 0.50%
- E. DeTROPE CA-100, 0.5%
- F. DeCORE BE-85, 0.5%
- G. DeCORE IMT-100LF, 1.0%
- H. DeTROPE CA-100, 1.0%
- I. DeCORE BE-85, 1.0%
Panel Submersion Corrosion Testing:
The bottom half of each metal panel was submerged in solution containing 0.25% - 1.0% by weight of DeTROPE 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.
