What is 150 TBN Calcium Sulfonate Detergent?
Core Composition & Manufacturing
Chorus’s 150 TBN Calcium Sulfonate Detergent (Synthetic Type T105) is a premium metal detergent belonging to the sulfonate salt series. It is produced via neutralization and alkalization reactions using linear long-chain alkylbenzene sulfonic acid—ensuring consistent performance and compatibility with diverse lubricant formulations.
Key Performance Advantages
- Exceptional acid neutralization capacity: Neutralizes organic and inorganic acids generated during lubricant operation, extending oil service life.
- Superior antirust property: Protects metal components from corrosion, critical for harsh operating environments.
- Robust high-temperature detergency: Prevents carbon deposits, varnish, and sludge buildup in internal combustion engines (ICE) and industrial equipment.
- Versatile TBN booster: Enhances total base number (TBN) retention, a key metric for lubricant longevity.
Applications Across Lubricant Types
The adaptability of 150 TBN Calcium Sulfonate Detergent makes it indispensable for formulating a wide range of high-quality lubricants. International buyers and formulators rely on it for:
1. Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Oils
Ideal for blending passenger car motor oils (PCMO), heavy-duty diesel engine oils (HDEO), and 4T motorcycle oils—delivering the durability required for high-load, high-temperature engine operation.
2. Rust-Preventing Oils
Its strong antirust properties make it a primary additive in rust-preventing formulations, protecting metal parts during storage and transportation.
3. Custom Lubricant Additive Packages
When combined with other Chorus additives, it forms tailored packages such as:
- Hydraulic Oil Additive Package
- Gear Oil Additive Package
- Industrial Gear Oil Additive Package
- High-Performance PCMO Additive Package
Synergy with Chorus Core Additives
150 TBN Calcium Sulfonate Detergent (T105) works seamlessly with Chorus’s portfolio of high-quality additives to maximize lubricant performance. Below are key combinations trusted by formulators worldwide:
1. Ashless Dispersant (T151)
Combines with T105 to prevent sludge and deposit formation—critical for maintaining engine cleanliness in extended drain intervals.
2. High Temperature Antioxidant (T512)
Ester phenolic antioxidant T512 enhances thermal stability, working with T105 to resist oxidation and viscosity breakdown at extreme temperatures.
3. ZDDP (T202)
Zinc Butyl Octyl Primary Alkyl Dithiophosphate (T202) adds anti-wear and extreme pressure protection, complementing T105’s detergency for comprehensive engine safeguarding.
4. Antiwear EP Additive (T321)
Sulfurized Isobutylene (T321) boosts load-carrying capacity, making the blend ideal for heavy-duty gear oils and hydraulic fluids.
5. Rust Preventative Additive (Chorus-404)
Neutral Barium Sulfonate (Chorus-404) amplifies rust protection, perfect for lubricants used in humid or corrosive environments.
6. Pour Point Depressant (T248)
Polymethacrylate PPD (T248) improves low-temperature fluidity, ensuring T105-containing lubricants perform reliably in cold climates.
How to Integrate 150 TBN Calcium Sulfonate in Formulations
Follow these structured steps to achieve optimal results when using Chorus’s 150 TBN Calcium Sulfonate Detergent (T105):
- Define Formulation Goals: Identify target applications (e.g., HDEO, hydraulic oil) and performance requirements (e.g., TBN retention, rust resistance).
- Select Complementary Additives: Pair T105 with Chorus’s Ashless Dispersant (T151), ZDDP (T202), and Antiwear EP Additive (T321) based on your goals.
- Control Additive Ratios: Recommended treat rate for T105 varies by application—typically 3-8% for engine oils and 2-5% for rust-preventing oils. Adjust based on desired TBN levels.
- Blend in Correct Sequence: First mix base oils, then add T105, followed by antioxidants and antiwear additives, and finish with dispersants and pour point depressants.
- Test for Performance: Conduct bench tests (e.g., acid neutralization efficiency, rust protection) and field trials to validate lubricant quality.
FAQ for International Buyers
Q1: Why is TBN (Total Base Number) critical for lubricants?
A1: TBN measures a lubricant’s ability to neutralize acids formed during combustion or oxidation. A 150 TBN level ensures long-lasting acid neutralization, reducing engine wear and extending oil change intervals—key for cost-effective operation.
Q2: Is 150 TBN Calcium Sulfonate compatible with synthetic and mineral base oils?
A2: Yes. Chorus’s synthetic type T105 is fully compatible with both mineral oils and synthetic base stocks (e.g., PAO, PAG), offering flexibility for diverse formulation needs.
Q3: How does T105 compare to other calcium sulfonate detergents?
A3: Unlike conventional sulfonates, T105’s synthetic origin ensures consistent performance, higher purity, and superior high-temperature stability. Its 150 TBN level strikes a balance between acid neutralization and formulation flexibility—ideal for mid-range to high-performance lubricants.
Q4: What storage conditions are required for T105?
A4: Store in a dry, clean warehouse at temperatures not exceeding 45°C. Avoid direct sunlight and moisture to maintain product integrity. As a non-dangerous chemical, it complies with international shipping and storage standards.
Q5: Can T105 be used in food-grade lubricants?
A5: T105 is primarily designed for industrial and automotive lubricants. For food-grade applications, Chorus offers specialized additives (e.g., Phosphate Amine Salt T349) that meet FDA and NSF standards.
Q6: What quality certifications does Chorus’s 150 TBN Calcium Sulfonate hold?
A6: Our T105 meets global industry standards, including GB/T, ASTM, and SH/T test methods. We provide full technical data sheets (TDS) and certificates of analysis (CoA) for every shipment, ensuring compliance with international procurement requirements.
