TERGITOL™ L-64 Surfactant
Nonionic surfactant that has good wetting ability, a high degree of detergency, and low foam characteristics. It is readily miscible in water and can be used in combination with other surfactants in a wide range of aqueous formulations. It is an exceptional high temperature foam control agent due to its inverse water solubility and low foam characteristics. It is used in such processes as fermentation, food processing, adhesives, paper processing, and metal working products. It is also used as a rinse aid, an emulsifier in latex paints, adhesives, and a component of sanitizing solutions. It provides high thermal and chemical stability with good detergency and rinseability. It can also be used in oilfield drilling and production formulations.
Uses:
- Cleaning
- Paint and coatings
- Fermentation
- Pulp and paper
- Other industrial applications
- Metalworking fluids
- Adhesives
- Paper processing
Benefits:
- Flexible properties for defoaming, wetting and emulsifying
- A range of solubility levels which provide excellent solvency
- Low foam characteristics
- Thermal and chemical stability
- Environmentally friendly biodegradable surfactants which meet the European Surfactants Detergent Regulation requirements
- Provides excellent foam control
- High-temperature foam control
- Good detergency
- Good rinse-ability

A defoaming surfactant you can count on
By lowering surface tension, controlling foam and enhancing rinseability of aqueous solutions, TERGITOL™ L-64 nonionic surfactant can help a variety of household and cleaning products perform at the highest level.
Due to its inverse water solubility and low foam characteristics, TERGITOL™ L-64 provides excellent control of high temperature foam. Additionally, its wetting and rinseability properties reduce spotting and filming left behind on hard surfaces.
Broad formulation compatibility
TERGITOL™ L-64 is an ethylene oxide/propylene oxide (EO/PO) copolymer surfactant that is readily biodegradable, not based on alkyl phenol ethoxylate chemistry, CleanGredients® listed and Safer Choice approved. The excellent solvency makes it an appropriate choice for sanitizing solutions and other cleaning applications.
