- Product Features & Benefits
- A very effective hydrotrope for low to medium alkaline formulations, and will help to solubilize conventional surfactants in these conditions.
- In high alkaline systems, micelles are formed and surface activity becomes more enhanced.
- Does not change the foaming, wetting of other surfactants in formulations
- Hydrotrope to improve the solubility of nonionic and anionic surfactants
- High Acid, Alkali and Electrolyte stability
- Compatible with high levels of inorganic builders such as sodium potassium hydroxide, silicates, phosphates and polyphosphates
- Becomes surface active in highly alkali formulations

Technical Details & Test Data
- Wetting Profile
Lanphos TEP4K isn't surface active at low alkaline levels as its unable to form micelles. This can be shown by the wetting profile below.
Wetting draves 0.5g/l
However as you increase the pH then the product becomes more surface active and temperature increases can also enhance the surface activity.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging Information
Lanphos TEP4K can be supplied in bulk road tankers, IBC’s and 200kg nett drums.
Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
- Stainless steel, polyethylene or glass-lined equipment is necessary for the storage of Lanphos TEP4K in order to prevent corrosion and subsequent contamination.
- This material can separate on standing and at low temperatures. May require agitation and warming prior to use.
