All lnaphthalenesulfonic Acids. The aLkyLnaphthalenesulfonic acids can be made by sulfonation of aLkyLnaphthalenes, eg, with sulfuric acid at 160°C, or by alkylation of naphthalenesulfonic acids with alcohols or olefins. These products, as the acids or their sodium salts, are commercially important as textile auxiUaries, surfactants (qv), wetting agents, dispersants (qv), and emulsifying aids, eg, for dyes (qv), wettable powder pesticides, tars, clays (qv), and hydrotropes. 

The conventional sulfur dye powder is made into a paste with a small amount of soft water and an alkah-stable wetting agent. Boiling for a few minutes in a strong solution of sodium sulfide reduces the dye. The dissolved dye is diluted to the requited dyebath volume. When dyeing pale shades, the final bath should contain at least 5 g/L sodium sulfide (60%), inrespective of the amount used to dissolve the dye. 

ABS plastic, a polymer consisting of polybutadiene spheroids is dispersed in a continuous phase of poly(styrene—acrylonitrile). The chromic acid attacks the polybutadiene at a much higher rate than the continuous phase. This gives an excellent microroughened surface with superior metal-to-plastic bond strength. A typical recommended formulation consists of 20 vol % sulfuric acid, 420 g/L chromic acid, and 0.1—1.0% of a fluorocarbon wetting agent. The plastic is treated with this formulation for 6—10 min at 60—65°C. 

The reaction of vegetable oils, especially castor oil, with sulfuric acid to obtain wetting agents for the so-called Turkish red oil dying process has long been known. Therefore attempts soon were made to extend this procedure to other OH-containing structures and to replace sulfuric acid with phosphoric acid [ ] ...

There are three formulations of sulfur used predominantly today. The first is finely ground sulfur mixed with 1 to 5 percent talc or clay to assist in the dusting effectiveness. The sulfur in this form may be used as a carrier for additional pesticides. The second form is colloidal sulfur that is so fine that it must be formulated as a paste to enable it to be mixed with water. The third form is wettable sulfur. In this formulation the sulfur is finely ground with a wetting agent so that it will mix readily with water for spraying. 

Sulfur is one of the oldest pesticides known. It has been used for centuries to control both plant pathogens and pests like insects and mites on contact. Sulfur is mined from natural deposits as a yellow solid that is almost insoluble in water. Wettable sulfur is finely ground sulfur mixed with a wetting agent to help it go into solution. Sulfur is also formulated as a...
