Petrochemical Products for Petrochemcial Industry

Specialty Chemicals

As a leader in the petrochemical industry, Nalco Water is uniquely qualified to identify, diagnose and treat process and utility related problems at specialty chemical plants. Our approach is simple. We work with you on-site, broadly evaluating your systems—mechanical, operational and chemical—and how they work together. We then develop specialized, innovative and long-term solutions to help you achieve operational efficiency and HSE compliance.


Colloidal Silica Offerings

Nalco Water is one of the largest colloidal silica manufacturers in the world and provides a broad portfolio of colloidal silica products well-suited for catalyst and coating applications.

Refactory Binders

Silica Sol for Refractory Binders

We support the refractory industry with colloidal silicas designed to improve the thermal and mechanical performance of a range of refractory products, from light weight, vacuum-formed shapes to denser castable refractories.

Silica Sol for Coating Applications

Nalco Water offers a wide range of silica-based coating solutions to serve multiple types of coating including ceramic tile, glass treatment, metal surfaces and more. Colloidal silica as a coating additive is a PFAS-free option that supports strength and durability.

Monitoring Cooling Systems

Cooling systems naturally attract problems that drive up water usage and costs. Our 3D TRASAR technology monitors your entire system in real-time, detects the conditions that precede these problems, and then proactively administers an ideal dosage of chemistries—resulting in less maintenance and lower operating costs.

The Gold Standard in Yellow Metals Corrosion Inhibition

Disinfection, pH drops, chlorides, and sulfates make corrosion prevention a challenge. Ultimately, corrosion issues can result in heat exchanger failure, causing production loss and requiring replacement.
While current triazole solutions struggle to perform in high-stress water environments, or prove unstable in halogenic water, the new, patent-pending non-triazole 3DT397 by Nalco Water offers stable, high-performance corrosion inhibition in the widest operating window yet.
