Cleaning Aids

Lutensol® AO 11 is a nonionic surfactant that is approximately 100% active. It is derived from C13C15 oxo alcohol with 11 moles of ethylene oxide, consisting of approximately 67% C13 and 33% C15. This high-performance surfactant exhibits low toxicity and offers excellent emulsification, dispersion, wetting, and compatibilizing properties.

Lutensol® ON 110 is a low-toxicity C10 oxo alcohol ethoxylate used as a wetting agent. Its functions include emulsifying, acting as an emulsifier for various types of oils and water, and modifying surface properties to enhance wetting dynamics quickly. It is also used as a medium foam behavior agent, a hydrophobic or hydrophilic modifier, and for electroplating as a surfactant or wetting agent. Lutensol® ON 110 can modify surfaces to be hydrophilic and is compatible with paraffinic, naphthenic, aromatic, triglyceride, and silicone oils.

Lutensol® TO 5 is a nonionic surfactant with an approximate 100% active ingredient content based on a saturated iso-C13 alcohol ethoxylated with 5 moles of ethylene oxide. It is a high-performance surfactant known for its low toxicity. Lutensol® TO 5 exhibits excellent emulsification, dispersion, wetting, and compatibilizing properties, making it a versatile choice for various applications.

Sokalan® PA 25 X S caters to the health care market, specifically in-home care, like dishwashing detergents. Presented in powder form, Sokalan® PA 25 X S offers effective cleaning solutions for dishes and kitchenware.

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.

Sokalan® PA 70 U-FB functions as a dispersing agent and is designed for industrial cleaning applications within the institutional and industrial care sector. It is employed in the formulation of detergents and cleaners for various industrial cleaning needs.

Sokalan® PA 20 PN-RF serves as a dispersing agent, designed for industrial cleaning applications within the institutional and industrial care sector. It is utilized in formulating detergents and cleaners for various institutional and industrial cleaning tasks.

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.

Lutensol® TO 2 is a low-toxicity C13 oxo alcohol ethoxylate that functions as an emulsifier for water and oil systems. It also provides emulsifier, salt/water hardness stability, and foam control. As a low-foaming surfactant, Lutensol® TO 2 is ideal for applications that require minimal foam generation.

Lutensol® AO 8 is a nonionic surfactant with approximately 100% activity, based on C13C15 oxo alcohol with 8 moles of ethylene oxide and consisting of about 67% C13 and 33% C15. It is a high-performance surfactant with low toxicity, providing excellent emulsification, dispersion, wetting, and compatibilizing properties.

Disponil® A 1080 is a modified fatty alcohol ethoxylate that is part of the Disponil® A series. These modified ethoxylates are derived from native fatty alcohols and have improved process behavior compared to standard fatty alcohol ethoxylates. In addition, they are readily biodegradable.

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.

Sokalan® CP 5 is a polymeric dispersing agent that has the potential to inhibit incrustation and scale formation. This is due to its ability to disperse suspended solids, which boosts detergent efficacy and overcomes deficiencies seen when phosphates are removed from formulations.
