- Introduction
The project aims to put into industrial practice a new, so-called functional surfactants and chelating agents, which are based on derivatives of aspartic acid. These derivatives are synthesized from maleic anhydride and relevant (fatty) amines, and also from natural aspartic acid. These surfactants and chelating agents have strong sekvestration properties, they are highly biodegradable and, depending on the side chain, have significant anti-corrosion properties as well as antibacterial and antifungal. The project envisages the transfer of technologies to pilot plant scale synthesis (proven technology) as well as the development of functional samples, both for cutting fluid, metal cleaning surfaces, filling the functional (operational) fluids, as well as detergents for the food industry.
