DeIONIC™ LF-EP-40

1 of 8 products in this brand
DeIONIC™ LF-EP-40 surfactants are low-to-moderate foaming, nonionic alkoxylated alcohols with cloud points in water ranging from approximately 15°C to 61°C. They offer excellent wetting, low surface tension, and defoaming properties. These surfactants are inherently biodegradable, stable in both acidic and alkaline conditions, and provide good detergency and easy handling.

Product Features
  • All products will contribute fast wetting properties, detergency, and surface tension reduction.
  • A hydrotrope will be required for low cloud point materials depending on the formulation and intended end-use temperature.
  • Easy-to-handle and non-gelling when added to water.
  • Inherently biodegradable, approved for use as an inert in non-food pesticide applications under 40CFR180.910 & 180.930.
  • DelONIC LF-EP-40 may contribute defoaming properties due to its low cloud point.
