Applications Of Iso Octanoic Acid Esters In Lubricants And Plasticizers
Application of ISO octanoate in lubricants and plasticizers
Today there is a chemical workshop run by Qidi Chemical, specializing in the chemical industry. Among many chemical products, the application of ISO octanoate in both lubricants and plasticizers is quite impressive, and it is the most important in the industry.
#1. The application of ISO octanoate in lubricants
Lubricants are the key to reducing the friction of their parts and ensuring their smooth operation when the equipment is running. ISO octanoate has its unique chemical properties and is fully capable in the field of lubricants.
First, ISO octanoate has excellent lubricating properties. Looking at its molecular structure, the length and branching of the carbon chain give it the ability to form a tough lubricating film on the metal surface. When the device parts rub against each other, the lubricating film can effectively reduce the friction coefficient and make the parts slide more smoothly. For example, in the operation of precision machinery, the friction between gears and shafts is significantly reduced after being treated with ISO octanoate-based lubricants, and the service life of the device is extended.
Second, ISO octanoate has good chemical stability. Under different temperatures and environmental conditions, it is not easy to chemically react with surrounding substances. In high temperature environments, many ordinary lubricants are prone to oxidation and decomposition, resulting in reduced lubrication performance. However, ISO octanoate can withstand higher temperatures, does not deteriorate easily, and maintains a stable lubricating effect. This characteristic makes it possible for machinery operating at high temperatures, such as furnace equipment in the metallurgical industry, engines in automobiles, etc., to play a good lubricating effect.
Third, the low temperature fluidity of ISO octanoate is also commendable. In cold environments, ordinary lubricants are prone to become viscous and reduce fluidity, which affects the start-up and normal operation of the equipment. Even at low temperatures, ISO octanoate can still maintain good fluidity, ensuring that all parts of the equipment are lubricated in time and operate as usual. This is of great significance for machinery and equipment operating in cold regions, such as polar research equipment and agricultural machinery in northern winter.
#Second, the application of ISO octanoate in plasticizers
Plasticizers are also used to improve the flexibility and plasticity of plastic products. ISO octanoate also has excellent performance in the field of plasticizers.
First of all, ISO octanoate has good compatibility with various resins. Whether it is common polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or other engineering plastics, ISO octanoate can be uniformly mixed with it. In this way, during the processing of plastic products, the uniformity of the plasticizing effect can be ensured. The resulting plastic products have consistent flexibility in all parts, no local hard or soft defects, and improve the quality and stability of the product.
Secondly, plastic products made of ISO octanoate as plasticizer have good durability. It can effectively prevent plastic products from becoming brittle and hard due to long-term use or environmental factors. This is because ISO octanoate molecules can interact with resin molecules to form a stable structure and enhance the anti-aging ability of plastic products. Outdoor plastic products, such as plastic pipes, plastic doors and windows, can still maintain good flexibility and mechanical properties after long-term exposure to the sun and rain, prolonging their service life.
Furthermore, ISO octanoate also has certain environmental advantages. In today's era of increasing environmental awareness, its low volatility and low toxicity make it an excellent choice for environmentally friendly plasticizers. Compared with traditional plasticizers, the use of ISO octanoate can reduce environmental pollution and potential harm to human health. ISO octanoate has broad application prospects in the production of plastic products with high safety requirements such as food packaging and children's toys.
In summary, ISO octanoate produced by Qidi Chemical plays an important role in the field of lubricants and plasticizers with its unique properties, contributing to the development of the chemical industry.
