Hard Water and Electrolyte Stability

Variations in water hardness and electrolyte levels can quickly influence how a fluid behaves in use, even when the formulation is robust. Our ether carboxylic acids and phosphate esters strengthen stability under challenging ionic conditions with their lime-soap dispersion power. These surfactants are developed to help maintain emulsion integrity when systems are exposed to metal ions, salts, or variable water quality, reducing the risk of separation, change in viscosity, or loss of performance.

By supporting predictable behavior across a wide range of conditions, our technologies make it easier to create fluids that stay clean, stable, and reliable in demanding operating environments.
