What is Pibsa?

RB PIBSA is a polyisobutylene succinic anhydride (PIBSA) derived from highly‐reactive, 1000 molecular weight polybutene. It is produced via a chlorine-free thermal process.

What is used as emulsifier in emulsion explosion?

Emulsifiers currently used in emulsion explosives include et- hanolamine adducts of polyisobutylene succinic anhydride (PI- BSA) and SMO (Fig. 1).

What is emulsifier explosive?

Sorbitan Ester Emulsifiers. Clariant’s sorbitan ester-based emulsifiers for explosives produce highly stable emulsions, allowing them to be produced under relatively low shear conditions.

What is emulsion mining?

Emulsion explosives are applied in the mining industry are usually water-in-oil emulsions, where the aqueous phase (an aqueous solution of AN) is dispersed in fuel oil. To produce emulsion explosives an aqueous solution of AN was used. A typical concentration of AN is ca 94.0 ÷ 99.0%.

Can you use PIBSA as a base oil emulsifier?

It is commonly used as an intermediate in the manufacture of oil soluble dispersants for lubricating oil applications and in the manufacturing of emulsifiers. Pibsa is recommended for use at 3 to 14% wt in base oils. Yes! I am interested Yes!

How is PIBSA used as an ash less surfactant?

PIBSA is an ash less, non-fatty, high viscosity surfactant additive. Pibsa is a polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride (PIBSA) derived from polybutene. It is commonly used as an intermediate in the manufacture of oil soluble dispersants for lubricating oil applications and in the manufacturing of emulsifiers.

How is PIBSA used to make ANFO emulsions?

Our custom PIBSA manufacturing process produces a chlorine-free emulsion with high activity and less by-products. Eliminating the chlorine process removes the by-products normally produced that can poison ANFO emulsions.

What kind of process is RB PIBSA used for?

It is produced via a chlorine-free thermal process. RB PIBSA is commonly used as an intermediate in the manufacture of oil-soluble dispersants for lubricating oil applications and in the manufacturing of emulsifiers for various applications, including explosives and metalworking.
