DeTERIC™ ODP-LF is a salt-free, readily biodegradable amphoteric hydrotrope that delivers excellent acid and alkali stability, strong coupling performance, and low foaming in demanding cleaning systems. With an isoelectric point near pH ~7, DeTERIC™ ODP-LF performs across a wide pH range and provides reliable solubility in water, glycols, ethanol, and isopropanol, along with brine stability. In addition to its hydrotrope efficiency, DeTERIC™ ODP-LF offers electrolyte tolerance and corrosion-inhibition benefits, making it highly effective in high-builder, low-foam industrial applications.

Technical Details & Test Data

Hydrotrope/ Coupling Property

There are several ways to test hydrotroping properties. A classic method is to test a 3-component system of a nonionic surfactant, a source of electrolyte and a set amount of a test hydrotrope. Initially, the test solutions are clear at room temperature. As the temperature rises, the nonionic will eventually cloud out. The higher the temperature reached, the more effective the hydrotrope.
