Sodium Metabisulfite food grade (E223) is a product with a white, fine crystalline powder appearance and an odor of SO2. Recommended uses include as a food additive and inorganic reducing agents. It has a white to slightly yellow color and a faint odor of sulfur dioxide, remaining stable.

Potassium Metabisulfite food grade (E224) is a product characterized by its white, fine crystalline powder appearance and a distinct odor of SO‚‚.

Sodium Sulfite anhydrous food grade (E221) is a white, odorless, fine crystalline powder primarily functioning as a preservative and antioxidant. It holds multiple certifications and compliances, including FDA approval, GMP, JECFA (FAO/WHO), HACCP, FCC compliance, FSSC 22000, European Pharmacopeia (Ph. Eur.), ISO 22000, and ISO 9001. This product is prominent in the food and nutrition markets, finding applications in dried fruits, food preservation, fruit-based preparations, juices, packaged salads, pickles, processed meat products, processed seafood, and tabletop condiments, as well as in winemaking.

Trilon® M Max BioBased Gran is a versatile chelating agent falling under the water conditioners and softeners and chelating agents product families. Known for its agrochemical benefits, it enhances crop yield and quality. The industrial additives feature high purity, ensuring its efficacy and suitability for a variety of applications.

Pluronic® F 68 PRILL is a versatile difunctional block copolymer surfactant that terminates in primary hydroxyl groups. As a nonionic surfactant, it is 100% active and has low toxicity. Pluronic® F 68 PRILL offers excellent properties for dispersing various materials, making it suitable for applications requiring emulsion stability, good particle dispersion, foaming, and associative thickening.

Plurafac® LF-901 is a nonionic surfactant with low foaming properties. It is made up of predominantly unbranched fatty alcohols that are alkoxylated with both higher alkene oxides and ethylene oxide. This 100% active product provides benefits such as low foaming solutions and wetting capabilities.

Pluronic® 17R4 is a 100% active product that is ideal for use as a foam controlling agent in machine floor cleaning applications. The final choice of surfactant will depend on the specific formulation. This EO/PO-block polymer has approximately 40% EO and a cloud point of 46®C.

Ardrox® 188 is an alkaline powder blend containing an oxidizing material, while Ardrox® 188RFU (Ready For Use) is the liquid version of Ardrox® 188 powder. These products are primarily intended to aid in the removal of difficult heat scales, such as those produced on high chromium steels and nickel and cobalt alloys, which are notoriously hard to remove even with strong acids. Ardrox® 188 or Ardrox® 188RFU typically do not remove such scales by themselves but chemically and physically modify them to make them more easily removable by milder and less dangerous methods than using strong acids. The primary application for Ardrox® 188 or Ardrox® 188RFU is in the overhaul of "hot end" components of gas turbine engines.

Oppanol® B 15 SFN F is a solid polyisobutylene serving as a viscosity modifier and water repellent. Belonging to the polyisobutylene polymers (PIB) and polyolefins chemical family, it adheres to high standards with stabilizer-free, halal, and kosher labeling claims. The solid form ensures convenient handling and application.

Lutensol® TDA 9 is a versatile non-ionic surfactant that serves as a workhorse for laundry applications. Its hydrophobe is derived from a natural fatty alcohol, and it is available as approximately 100% active. The cloud point of this surfactant is 60®C. It offers excellent rapid wetting properties, relatively low foaming levels, and good detergency. In addition, it has the ability to function as an emulsifier, dispersant, and solubilizer.

Lutensol® XL 40 is available as a 100% active product and is suitable for machine floor cleaning as a foam controlling and degreasing agent. The level of residual alcohol is comparatively very low when compared to regular alcohol ethoxylates with the same degree of ethoxylation. It has a HLB value of 10.5 and is listed on the Safer Choice label. The final surfactant choice will be dependent on the formulation.

Pluronic® L 61 is a 100% active product and suitable for low-temperature commercial dishwashing machines. It is a low-foaming surfactant that provides good defoaming and wetting. In addition to its use in dishwashing machines, it is also suitable for machine floor cleaning as a foam controlling agent.

Sokalan® CP 10 S is a modified polyacrylic acid-based copolymer in the form of a liquid with a 50% solid content and a molecular weight of 4,000. This product is 45% active and has a molecular weight of 3,500. It serves as a dispersant, scale inhibitor, and compatibilizer in various applications.
