Sodium Petroleum Sulphonate SPS

Sodium Petroleum Sulphonate SPS is a unique materials due to their dual function as a surfactant and rust inhibitor. The polar nature of the sulfonate end of the molecule acts as a typical anionic surfactant, aligning itself with water or other polar substances while the hydrocarbon tail bridges the gap to the nonpolar phase. An anionic surfactant is a brown viscous liquid with a mild odor that is used as an emulsifier in the lubricant industry.

SPS due to its dual function, its polar head provides better solubility in water and other polar solvents, which reduces surface tension, while its hydrocarbon tail (hydrocarbon head) helps it dissolve better in non-polar solvents, and the aromatic groups in the structure of this compound improve their compatibility with base oils.
