Lutensol® CS 6250 is a clear, colorless liquid with 100% activity that is a good solubilizer, penetrating agent, and low-foaming agent. It acts as a co-solvent or co-surfactant with a cloud point greater than 100 ®C. It is a petroleum-based, non-ionic surfactant, and Lutensol® AO 7 is the main component in this category.

Storage & Handling

Storage Condition
  • Lutensol® CS 6250 should be stored in its original packaging, which should be kept tightly sealed, in a dry place. Storerooms must not be overheated.
  • Avoid a humid environment, because the product is hygroscopic and, being readily soluble in water, absorbs moisture immediately. For this reason, it is advisable to reseal drums tightly without delay each time material is taken from them.
  • The congealing points of Lutensol® CS 6250 must be taken into consideration when determining the storage temperature.
  • Lutensol® CS 6250 can become slightly cloudy if it is stored at low temperatures, but it has no effect on the product properties. The cloudiness can be reversed at 50 - 60°C.
  • Product that has solidified or that shows signs of precipitation should be heated to 50 - 70°C and homogenized before use. If Product in drums that has solidified or that shows signs of precipitation should be melted or heated gently in a heating cabinet or heated chamber; the temperature should not exceed 50 - 70°C, depending on the particular congealing or melting point. This also applies if electric drum heaters are used.
  • Internal electrical elements are unsuitable for heating owing to the high heat load in some places.
  • If Lutensol® CS 6250 is stored in heated tanks at 50 - 70°C (depending on the particular congealing or melting point, care must be taken to ensure that it does not come into contact with air (blanket with nitrogen. Constant gentle stirring prevents it from overheating or becoming discolored as a result of prolonged contact with the heating elements or external heating jacket.

Tanks made of the following materials are suitable for storage of Lutensol® CS 6250:    

  • V2A stainless steel (1.4541 or X6 CrNiTi 1810)    
  • V4A stainless steel (1.4571 or X6 CrNiMoTi 17122)    

Lutensol® CS 6250 has a shelf-life of at least 24 months, provided it is stored in its original packaging and kept tightly sealed.
