Product Overview
Oilfield corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier technologies support metal protection and fluid formulation across oilfield chemical systems. Effective product selection depends on the chemistry platform, alkalinity profile, acid value, and compatibility requirements of the formulation.
Dover offers oil-soluble imidazoline and fatty acid alkanolamide corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier technologies across multiple chemistry and TBN profiles. These technologies provide formulators with options for balancing corrosion inhibition, emulsification, alkalinity, and formulation requirements, with additional flexibility for adaptation to water-soluble systems.
Imidazoline Technology
Dover's imidazoline technology provides an oil-soluble corrosion inhibitor option for oilfield chemical and fluid formulations. The chemistry provides an oil-soluble corrosion inhibitor option with a high-alkalinity profile for application-specific formulation requirements.
Doverhib® DFA 181TO provides formulators with an imidazoline-based technology and a TBN profile of 250 for applications requiring this chemistry and alkalinity profile.
Fatty Acid Alkanolamide Technologies
Fatty acid alkanolamide technologies provide multiple chemistry pathways for oilfield corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier formulations. TOFA-, oleic acid-, and CFA-based technologies are available with DEA- and DIPA-derived chemistry options.
Differences in fatty acid source, chemistry ratio, TBN, and acid value allow formulators to compare technologies based on application-specific formulation requirements.
Water-Solubility Flexibility
Dover's oil-soluble corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier technologies can be adapted for use in water-soluble systems through the addition of acetic acid. This provides additional formulation flexibility when water solubility is required.
Product selection and modification can be aligned with chemistry, alkalinity, and fluid formulation requirements.
Technical Overview
Oilfield corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier technologies are designed to support corrosion protection, emulsification, and formulation performance across oilfield chemical and fluid systems. Chemistry platform, alkalinity profile, acid value, and solubility requirements influence product selection and formulation fit.
Dover's portfolio includes imidazoline and fatty acid alkanolamide technologies across multiple chemistry and performance profiles. Differences in TBN, acid value, pH, and fatty acid or amine chemistry allow formulators to compare products based on application-specific formulation requirements.
