    Recommended Applications
    • Witbreak® DRC-164 is a resin oxyalkylate.
    • This emulsion-breaker works by effectively neutralizing the strength of the natural emulsifying agent, allowing the finely dispersed water droplets to coalesce.
    • As the tiny water droplets merge into progressively larger and heavier drops, the water settles and the oil rapidly rises to the top.
    • The result is a sharp, well- defined oil/water interface and bright, clean and marketable oil.
