Products in Metal Processing Additives: Alcohols

MultiTech Difunctional A is a primary, saturated alcohol with defined branching of the carbon chain. Such alcohols are chemically described as 2-alkyl-1-alkanols and are also referred to as Guerbet alcohols. It is a high purity alcohol that offers excellent oxidative and color stability. Additionally, the twin, 100% linear alkyl branches of the MultiTech Difunctional A alcohol give it a lower viscosity and better biodegradability than dimer alcohols derived from oxo-alcohols. The unique chemical structure of MultiTech Difunctional A alcohol also provides good solubility and solvency.

T-Det® A 136 is an anhydrous liquid surface-active agent produced by the reaction of tridecyl alcohol with 6 moles of ethylene oxide. Its nonionic structure makes it compatible with anionic surfactants and it is stable in the presence of acids, bases, and salts.

T-Det® A 1315 is a surface active agent used in various applications such as textile processing, metal degreasing, clay soils, fire fighting, industrial, institutional, and household cleaners. It is known for its ability to penetrate, wet, solubilize, disperse, and emulsify. This agent is produced by the reaction of iso-tridecyl alcohol with 15 moles of ethylene oxide.

T-Det® A 133 is an anhydrous liquid surface-active agent produced by the reaction of tridecyl alcohol with 3 moles of ethylene oxide. Its nonionic structure makes it compatible with anionic and cationic surfactants and it is stable in the presence of acids, bases, and salts.

T-Det® A 138 is an anhydrous liquid surface-active agent produced by the reaction of tridecyl alcohol with 8 moles of ethylene oxide. Its nonionic structure makes it compatible with anionic and cationic surfactants, and it is stable in the presence of acids, bases, and salts.

T-Det® A 139 is an anhydrous liquid surface-active agent produced by the reaction of tridecyl alcohol with 9 moles of ethylene oxide. Its nonionic structure makes it compatible with anionic and cationic surfactants, and it is stable in the presence of acids, bases, and salts.

AFCONA 5504S is a multi-functional additive that can help wet out difficult or contaminated substrates, lower the surface tension of the coating system, improve pigment grind efficiency, and prevent surface defects such as fisheyes, edge crawl, and craters. Furthermore, its great defoaming properties reduce water sensitivity of the final system due to its hydrophobic nature.
