Magnesium Petroleum Sulfonate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Magnesium Petroleum Sulphonate
- Magnesium Sulfonate
Magnesium petroleum sulfonate is a detergent, dispersant and corrosion-control additive for lubricant and metalworking formulations. It is selected where the formulator needs a magnesium sulfonate concentrate with a defined balance of detergency, alkalinity reserve, oil compatibility and rust protection.
The page covers neutral, overbased and metalworking additive grades. Buyers should identify the base oil, target total base number, ash limit, viscosity, water tolerance, treat rate and acid-neutralisation requirement before selecting a grade.
Applications include engine oils, industrial lubricants, process oils, metalworking fluids and corrosion-control systems. Magnesium petroleum sulfonate is not the same as sodium petroleum sulfonate or a generic calcium sulfonate, since the cation and additive balance affect performance in the finished formulation.
Send the lubricant type, additive package, alkalinity or corrosion target, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and quotation-stage performance data are confirmed for the selected magnesium petroleum sulfonate grade.

- Grade
- neutral magnesium petroleum sulfonate, overbased magnesium sulfonate, metalworking additive grade

Common questions about magnesium petroleum sulfonate
What is magnesium petroleum sulfonate used for?
It is used as a detergent, dispersant and corrosion-control additive in engine oils, industrial lubricants, process oils and metalworking fluids.
What is the difference between neutral and overbased magnesium sulfonate?
Neutral grades provide surface-active and detergent behaviour with limited alkalinity, while overbased grades add a larger alkalinity reserve for acid neutralisation.
Which specification should a lubricant formulator provide?
Include base oil type, target TBN, sulphated-ash limit, viscosity, water tolerance, treat rate, rust-test method and compatibility with the complete additive package.
Can magnesium petroleum sulfonate be used in metalworking fluids?
Metalworking grades may be considered for detergency, wetting and corrosion control. The fluid type, dilution, metal substrate and rust-protection target should be supplied.
How do I request a quotation?
State the application, neutral or overbased preference, quality targets, estimated quantity, packing requirement and Malaysian delivery point for grade matching.
