Behenyl Alkohol for Water Treatment
Behenyl alcohol is a true all-rounder in wastewater treatment plants. It is used in four areas of water treatment:
EMULSIFIER
As a saturated fatty alcohol, behenyl alcohol can help to bind and stabilize mixtures of oil and water. For example in cleaning agents: It helps to mix water and oils or surfactants and thus improves cleaning power.
DEFOAMER
Foam hinders work with water or waste water. It is therefore important to control the formation of foam. Behenyl alcohol can help to reduce excessive foam.
CORROSION PROTECTION
Behenyl alcohol can be used as an additive in industrial formulations designed to control scaling or corrosion in pipes and systems.
SURFACE PROTECTION
Behenyl alcohol is added to paints and varnishes used to protect surfaces in water tanks or sewage treatment plants. By influencing the viscosity, it can help paints or coatings to adhere to surfaces and thus provide long-term protection.
