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.
