    Product Applications
    • ISOCARB acids and their derivatives are used as raw materials and intermediates in many specialized applications:
    1. Esters
    2. Betaines
    3. Ethoxylates
    4. Amides
    • Metalworking and lubrication:
    1. ISOCARB acids can be used as a corrosion inhibitor when formulating lubricating oils and greases in industrial and automotive applications.
    2. ISOCARB acids can be used, neutralized, as ingredient of soluble and synthetic metal-working fluids or in water-based degreasers due to their very good anticorrosion properties.
    • Inks, Paints & Coatings
    • Cosmetic Agents
