The Aquaness ARBREAK™ 8244 demulsifier is a polyalkylene glycol, which is nonionic in character. This product works by counteracting naturally occurring emulsifiers. ARB8244 demulsifier has been found to be particularly effective when used in low salt water brine or in freshwater emulsions. In these cases, ARB8244 demulsifier is often formulated with sulfonates or used as is. This product is stable to hydrolysis. It exhibits exceptional ability to lower interfacial tension and, as a result, has a high degree of wetting activity. For this reason, ARB8244 demulsifier can effectively disperse or deflocculate solids. ARB8244 demulsifier can be used with effectiveness in synergistic blends with oxyalkylated phenolic resins or with sulfonic acid salts, or in blends of all three, to break crude oil emulsions of the water-in-oil type.
