National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Preparation and Properties of Aluminum Naphthenate Soaps.

ADA801549

Publication Date	1944
Personal Author	Elliott, S. B.
Page Count	23
Abstract	Though additional work is yet to be done on the unmodified aluminum napthenates, research has progressed far enough to indicate that soaps of adequate physical characteristics and satisfactory gasoline gelling ability can be prepared in the laboratory. Furthermore, the characteristics of the soaps are so close to those of the Napalm type that there should be no production problems. Sintering of the particles during the drying process might introduce more grinding difficulties than are met producing Napalm, but close control during precipitation will minimize such troubles. The napthenates prepared at Ferro have shown no unusual gelling properties, but when properly formulated they appear as satisfactory as Napalm. Thus, though the oxidation resistance of the two types of soaps have not been compared extensively, it would seem the greatest advantage of the unmodified napthenates lay in their oxidation resistance structure.
