Products in Blends & Other Surfactants: Metal Cleaners

T-Mulz® BP-PE is the phosphate ester of a block polymer. It is a low-foaming surfactant that has a cloud point slightly above room temperature. This phosphate ester surfactant can be used in formulations for the metal cleaning and metalworking industries.

Alcosperse 747 is a patented hydrophobically modified copolymer designed for use in detergent and cleaning formulations. It can be used as a pigment dispersant in acrylic emulsion-based paint formulations to deliver efficient, reliable color production. It is especially effective for dispersing water-resistant pigments, clays and carbon black. It is an excellent choice for acrylic emulsion-based paint formulations. Alcosperse 747 Benefits Excellent pigment dispersion Outstanding color acceptance Good hydrophobic properties Watermark-resistant performance Long shelf life Alcosperse 747 Features VOC-free Low molecular weight Easy to handle and incorporate into formulations Good storage stability

Lansurf SP41 is a biodegradable electrolyte-soluble surfactant. This specially formulated system is designed for use in highly alkaline and acidic cleaning concentrates. Lansurf SP41 stands out with its low foam characteristics, making it ideal for applications with high agitation or in pressure spray techniques.

ESTISURF® M41 consists of an optimized blend of non-ionic and amphoteric surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and coupling agents. This shows excellent solubility properties in all types of water-miscible products and is especially recommended for use in acidic cleaners. It is specifically used as a as a surfactant in train wash products, train cleaners, scale removers, and other acidic formulations.

Lansurf SP41 is a biodegradable electrolyte soluble surfactant. This product is a formulated system designed for application in highly alkaline and acidic cleaning concentrates. Lansurf SP41 exhibits low foam characteristics and can, therefore, be used in applications where high agitation occurs or in pressure spray techniques.

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.

Colonial SOS is a highly biodegradable wetting agent that is stable under varying conditions of pH and temperature.

Cola®Terge 102 is a high performance blend of surfactants designed for use in water-based degreasing and hard surface cleaning applications. It is a fast wetter for penetrating soils and surfaces and a powerful emulsifier while holding soils in suspension. Cola®Terge 102 is suitable for use in alkaline, acidic and general purpose cleaners. The simple combination of Cola®Terge 102 with or without builders makes an excellent water-based degreaser.

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®Terge APDC is a cost effective, 100% active, liquid detergent concentrate that can be readily diluted and modified to develop a wide range of low cost, yet high performance household and industrial products. Cola®Terge APDC contributes high foaming, detergency, low irritation and excellent hard water tolerance. It is ideal for use in hand soaps, all purpose cleaners, and solvent cleaners.

KEBOCLEAN ALU is a aqueous alkaline industrial cleaner. It is a highly effective alkaline cleaner that can be used universally to remove dirt and grease. Especially aluminum and its alloys are not attacked.

KEBOCLEAN VP 1201 is a solvent-based metal cleaner with temporary corrosion protection, also for immersion and spraying systems.

KEBOCLEAN KB is an additive for removing oil residues in tanks and pipelines. It is a solvent-based metal cleaner that can be used as an additive to kerosene (or diesel fuel or heating oil) to remove oil residues in tanks and pipelines. It can even dissolves tough petroleum residues or makes them pumpable, so that such substances can be taken back to the refinery and expensive disposal measures can be avoided.

Burcoterge™ LCC is a clear yellow liquid cationic/nonionic surfactant system for water-based, low-VOC, biodegradable cleaners and degreasers. It rapidly removes oily, greasy, waxy, and particulate soils from metal, glass, concrete, plastic, and fabric surfaces.

Momentive Performance Materials SF1706 is a silicon fluid.
