Products in Amphoteric Surfactants: Metal Cleaners

AMPHOSOL® CS-50 is an amphoteric surfactant that can be used as a secondary surfactant, providing foam boosting and viscosity building for personal care and hi&i applications. It is a cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine that is bio-based, kosher certified, naturally derived, sulfate-free, eo/po-free, and plant-derived.

Librateric CAB-LS (MB) is a self-preserving betaine with a low salt content, presenting 35% activity. It is derived from a refined C1218 fatty acid sourced from RSPO-certified Mass Balance non-GMO palm kernel oil. This product is stable and effective across a wide pH range and exhibits compatibility with both anionic and cationic surfactants. Notably, it contributes to 'mildness' and is readily biodegradable.

DeTERGE LF - 7315 is a low-foaming, modified amphoteric surfactant ideal for highly alkaline and acidic systems. It functions effectively as the primary surfactant, offering wetting and detergency in both acidic and alkaline environments. Its excellent solubility may eliminate the need for a hydrotrope. Moreover, it is biodegradable, non-phenolic, and phosphate-free.

DeTERIC LP is also known as sodium lauriminodipropionate, is a versatile, high-foaming amphoteric surfactant. It is used in a wide range of household, industrial, and institutional cleaning formulations. Beyond that, it's suitable for personal care applications, easily degrades in the environment, and has low toxicity levels.

DeTERIC ODP - LF is a low-foaming sodium octyliminodipropionate primarily utilized for demulsification in water-based systems. Additionally, it demonstrates excellent hydrotroping properties in highly alkaline or acidic formulations.

Librateric CAB-LS is a self-preserving betaine with 35% activity and very low salt content. It is crafted from a refined C1218 fatty acid sourced from non-GMO palm kernel oil. This clear, slightly yellow liquid is both stable and effective across a wide pH range. It exhibits compatibility with both anionic and cationic surfactants and is known for contributing to 'mildness.' Additionally, it is readily biodegradable.

Cola®Trope 522 is an alkaline stable surfactant that is soluble and stable in 35% sodium hydroxide and high levels of other alkaline builders. This surfactant is used to formulate alkaline detergents for use in metal cleaning, food plant cleaning, and transportation cleaning. Cola®Trope 522 is useful at an application temperature of greater than 140ºF in 35% sodium hydroxide, 20% sodium metalsilicate, 45% KOH and 45% TKPP individually.

Cola®Teric AP is a salt-free organophosphate amphoteric that provides hydrotroping properties in high alkaline built systems that are formulated with conventional and capped low foaming nonionics. Cola®Teric AP improves the rinsibility of these systems by providing less streaking and redeposition of soil on the cleaned surface. Cola®Teric AP also enhances the detergency of nonionics. Cola®Teric AP is suited for use in industrial detergent cleaners, such as alkaline metal cleaning, high pressure spray cleaners, alkaline degreasers, scrubbing compounds, acid cleaners, transportation cleaners and various other hard surface detergent formulations. Detergency Enhancement - In alkaline metal cleaning tests, Cola®Teric AP, when mixed at equal activity with all ethoxylated nonionics, provides dramatic improvement of hard surface detergency properties. Blends containing Cola®Teric AP significantly outperformed blends containing similar concentrations of sodium xylene sulfonate.

Unlike some conventional surfactants used in 50% Caustic Soda solutions, Cola®Trope AHS is readily soluble and requires no prolonged mixing or heating. It is also stable in mineral acids (i.e., 25% HCl, 20% HNO3, and 85% H3PO4). Suggested uses are in the area of industrial and household products where high performance and low foam are required. Metal cleaning, bottle washing concentrates, heavy duty steam cleaning, wax striping, etc., are only a few of the areas where Cola®Trope AHS deserves evaluation

Cola®Teric CBS is an amphoteric surfactant in the sultaine class. It exhibits outstanding surface activity, wetting, foaming, and compatibility in a wide variety of applications. Due to its amphoteric nature, this product is compatible with cationic, anionic, and nonionic surfactants. The compatibility and stability of formulations containing Cola®Teric CBS are maintained over a broad pH range.

Cola®Teric SC is a biodegradable amphoteric surfactant for cleaning applications at both high and low pH. This high-foaming hydrotrope provides superior cleaning performance over a majority of amphoteric surfactants. In addition to industrial and institutional cleaning, the mildness of Cola®Teric SC makes it a good fit for household and personal care applications.

Cola®Teric CA-35 is a high foaming amphoteric surfactant with a low toxicity profile, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It produces high foam and dense lather. This product is recommended for liquid soaps, shampoos, car washes, and foaming caustic cleaners.

PEL-AMPH™ 2CY-75 is an amphoteric derived from caprylic hydroxyethyl imidazoline. It has excellent wetting and detergent properties while providing low foam. PEL-AMPH™ 2CY-75 has good stability in strongly alkaline and moderately acid systems. It is recommended for use in areas where low foaming detergency is needed such as, dairy cleaning, food processing plants, etc. PEL-AMPH™ 2CY75 is compatible with most all other surfactants. It is also an excellent solubilizer for higher molecular weight surfactants, particularly nonionics. Its low irritation properties make it ideal for personal care wipes.

Burco® HCS-1193NF is a clear liquid high caustic and acid stable, no foam, Amphoteric Surfactant that provides improved wetting and detergency to alkaline and acidic systems.

Burco® HCS-50NF is a high caustic stable, no foam, amphoteric surfactant that provides improved wetting and detergency to alkaline systems. It is recommended for food plant cleaners, brewery cleaners, metal finishing cleaners, bottle wash compounds, and industrial dish cleaners.
