TERGITOL™ L-81 Surfactant
It is a viscous liquid at room temperature. Low foam characteristics and inverse water solubility make it an excellent foam control agent. It is used in fermentation of lactic and citric acids and some alcohols, food processing, and metal working products, including degreasing chemicals and cutting oils. It can be used as a chemical intermediate. Other applications include rinse aids and other industrial and institutional cleaning applications.
Uses:
- Cleaning
- Paint and coatings
- Fermentation
- Pulp and paper
- Other industrial applications
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
