DeTROPE™ PA-45

1 of 4 products in this brand
DeTROPE™ PA-45 is a 45% active potassium alkanoate in water. This anionic surfactant is a highly effective, multifunctional, low foam hydrotrope recommended for use in cleaners at pH above 7. It is chlorine stable and also exhibits wetting and corrosion inhibition properties. DeTROPE PA-45TM is soluble in water, alcohols, and glycols. It is insoluble or dispersible in oils and non-polar solvents. It is also soluble in 10% sodium hydroxide, 20% potassium hydroxide, and in a variety of other electrolytes such as silicates, phosphates, and carbonates. Please submit a document request or general inquiry form if you’d like to access an SDS in another language.
