Spraying dispersants on spilled oil
The spilled oil in the marine environment will be biodegraded.
Dispersants break spilled oil to small droplets, the droplets could facilitate
degradation by micro-organism.

Functions of Dispersants
The dispersants are generally long chain compounds (hydrophobic
end) with polar groups (hydrophilic end)such as carboxylate,
sulfonates, or phosphate.

Dispersants decrease interfacial surface tension between the water
and oil and facilitate the transfer speed of oil from the water surface
into the water column to mitigate oil spill impacts.

A. Oil spill dispersant emulsify crude oil in sea water.
B. Other polymer agent can not work.
C. CSHOPAX Aid in crude oil has significant sedimentation of oil drop, but without emulsification.
D. Oil spill dispersant with HOPAX Aid emulsify crude oil in seawater.
The tests demonstrate superior performance of oil spill dispersant with CSHOPAX Aid .
