BARIUM DINONYLNAPHTHALENESULFONATE

Chemical Properties

Barium dinonylnaphthalenesulfonate is a dark brown viscous liquid with a melting point of 259-260°C, a boiling point of 600-601°C, a flash point of 170°C and is practically insoluble in water. Lethal Concentration: LC50 (rat) > 21,000 mg/m3/1hr.

Uses

Barium dinonylnaphthalenesulfonate is a metal-organic reagent used primarily in chemical and experimental research to determine its micelle size in low-polarity solvents^[1]. It is also an intermediate component in the preparation of other compounds such as refrigeration oil compositions, grease compositions and high performance cooling lubricants.
