Naphthenic acids and their derivatives are widely used in more than 40 sectors of national economy. Naphthenic acids in a form of lead, manganese, zinc, ferrum, aluminium, chrome salts and in a form of other derivatives, are used in preparation of paint driers, varnishes, paints. Free naphthenic acids are used as a part of inks and improves their mobility. These acids are also used as thinner for aniline colorants, sleeper impregnation material preserving wood from rotting. Both free and derivative naphthenic acids have effective fungicidal, insecticidal, bactericidal and preservative parameters which are used in weed and pest control, for impregnation of wood, sail fabric, canvas, rope, tarpaulin, fishing gear and other materials regularly affected by moisture, bacteria, pest, etc. Lead, chrome, cobalt and manganese salts of naphthenic acids are used as antistatic, antideteriorant and antifoam additives for fuel, jet engine fuels and oils. Lubricating and emulsifying materials used for cooling of shearing machines, pasting, lubrication grease for high-pressure plants, demulsifiers brea-king petroleum and oily emulsions are based on naphthenic acids. Simple and compound ethers of naphthenic acids are used as plasticizers for production of polymeric materials, general rubber goods, polyvinylchloride plastic, hydraulic liquids, etc. Naphthenic acids are successfully used even at cleaning of rareearth elements, extragens of radioactive materials, catalysts, oxidation and oxonation processes, agricultural growthregulating substances, drying accelerators for glassreinforced polyesters, etc. In order to meet consumer needs for naphthenic acids, “KARVAN-L” company has developed technology and established commercial installations for output of high-purity acids.
