Dinonylnaphthalene Sulfonic Acid (DNNSA) Rust Inhibitor
CAS Number: 57855-77-3
Dinonylnaphthalene sulfonic acid (DNNSA) and its calcium and barium salts are highly effective corrosion and rust inhibitors widely used in engine oils, gear oils, hydraulic fluids, and protective oils. The bulky naphthalene sulfonate structure forms a tenacious adsorbed film on metal surfaces that displaces water and inhibits both ferrous and non-ferrous corrosion. DNNSA is particularly valued in rust preventive oils and long-term storage lubricants where superior water-displacement is critical.
