  • A very low foaming, nonionic, alkoxylated alcohol having a cloud point in water of ~15ºC. It has the lowest cloud point in a series of DeFOREST alkoxylates with cloud points ranging from 15°C to 61°C. Soluble in alcohols, glycols and solvents. It is water soluble below its cloud point, dispersible above its cloud point (13° -18°C), and insoluble in oils.
  • A low foaming, nonionic, alkoxylated alcohol having a cloud point in water of ~25ºC. It has the second lowest cloud point in a series of DeFOREST alkoxylates with cloud points ranging from 15°C to 61°C. Soluble in alcohols, glycols, and solvents. It is water soluble below its cloud point and dispersible above its cloud point (23° -27°C). It is insoluble in oils.
  • A moderate foaming, nonionic, alkoxylated alcohol having a cloud point in water of ~40ºC. It exhibits a mid-range cloud point in a series of DeFOREST alkoxylates with cloud points ranging from 15°C to 61°C. Soluble in alcohols and glycols. It is water soluble below its cloud point, dispersible above its cloud point (38° - 42°C), and insoluble in oils.
  • A moderate foaming, nonionic, alkoxylated alcohol having a cloud point in water of ~61ºC. It has the highest cloud point in a series of DeFOREST alkoxylates with cloud points ranging from 15°C to 61°C. Soluble in alcohols and glycols. It is water soluble below its cloud point, dispersible above its cloud point (56° -63°C), and insoluble or dispersible in oils and solvents.
  • A low to moderate foaming, anionic surfactant having detergency, wetting and solubilizing properties. Soluble in water, alcohols and glycols. It is insoluble in most solvents and oils.
  • A complex ethoxylated amine recommended for use as a corrosion inhibitor and/or thickener for acid systems. Solubility at 10% in water: DeTERGE AT-100 self emulsifies in water. It is dispersible in water at concentrations of <10% by weight. It is soluble in most oils, glycols, alcohols, and solvents.
  • A unique, economical, low foaming, chlorine stable surfactant for use in products containing up to 15% active caustic and other alkaline electrolytes. Chemically described as an alkoxylated carboxylate, it’s designed for use in alkaline systems only. It is not recommended for use in acid systems. Solubility at 10% by weight: DeTERGE CS-45LF is soluble in water, alcohols and glycols. It is insoluble or dispersible in most solvents.
  • A low foaming, modified alcohol ethoxylate which provides detergency, wetting, and excellent removal of hydrocarbon based soils in neutral and mildly alkaline formulations. DeTERGE LF-2379 exhibits fast wetting properties, even above its cloud point. Dispersible/soluble in water, alcohols and glycols. It is insoluble or dispersible in oils and solvents.
  • A low foaming, modified amphoteric recommended for use in highly alkaline and acidic systems. DeTERGE LF-7315 is easy to formulate into caustic (up to ~40% active) and alkaline electrolytes, or into a wide variety of highly acidic systems. Soluble in water, alcohols and glycols and dispersible or insoluble in solvents and oils.
  • Is an organic phosphated amphoteric that is soluble and stable in up to 50% liquid caustic soda and up to 45% liquid caustic potash. It exhibits low, quick breaking foam with wetting and surface tension reduction properties in highly caustic applications. It has excellent color stability in high caustic environments.
  • A sodium lauriminodipropionate. A versatile, high foaming amphoteric surfactant which finds utility in a wide variety of HI&I cleaning formulations. Also suitable for personal care applications, is readily biodegradable and exhibits low toxicity. Soluble in water, glycols and alcohols; insoluble in oils and solvents.
