ACID THICKENER
[EIRI/EDPR/3783] J.C.: 1878INR,1880US$
INTRODUCTION
Acid Thickener is a cationic surfactant that was originally designed to thicken hydrochloric acid, which it does very effectively on its own; however, when used in combination with sodium chloride (salt), it will thicken a variety of acid systems including phosphoric, sulfuric, hydrofluoric, citric, oxalic, etc. By varying the ratio between Acid Thickener and salt, you can adjust the viscosity to a given specification. Acid Thickener is a multifunctional material that provides thickening, wetting, corrosion inhibition, and perfume solubilization.
