Application Information

Soap: The addition of Trilon® BX Liquid can prevent discoloration and rancidity.
Pulp/Paper: In oxidative bleaching, Trilon® BX Liquid causes a considerable reduction in bleach consumption, with no decrease in performance.
Rubber: Can be used to complex ferrous ions in the catalyst systems used in the polymerization of rubber. Natural rubber latex can be treated with Trilon® BX Liquid to remove traces of heavy metals that originate from the bark of trees.
Water Softening: Trilon® BX Liquid can be used to soften cooling water, process water and boiler feed water; dissolve boiler scale and prevent new scale from forming.
Detergents/Cleaners: There are many applications for Trilon® BX Liquid in detergents and cleaners. It is popular due to its chelating capacity and its resistance to hydrolysis. Trilon® BX Liquid is also used in industrial detergents and cleaners.

Other Applications: Trilon*® BX Liquid can boost the detergency of surfactants; can be added to emulsions, including lubricants and polishes to minimize the effects of hardness ions and polyvalent metals salts.
