Hydrotroping and detergency versatility
CRODATERIC™ LIDP is an effective formulation component that offers high detergency and hydrotroping in a single product. Multifunctionality allows the formulator to reduce the number of formulation components. The versatility of CRODATERIC LIDP means formulators can create more powerful cleaners or save on total formulation cost without sacrificing cleaning performance.
Typical applications are medium to heavy-duty acid and alkaline cleaning formulations such as hard surface cleaners and transport cleaners.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Solubility
CRODATERIC LIDP is soluble at 2.5% in the following solutions
- 20% Sodium hydroxide
- 30% Potassium hydroxide
- 40% Sodium silicate
- 20% TKPP
- Efficacy Study
The following graph illustrates the effectiveness of CRODATERIC LIDP compared to sodium xylene sulfonate (SXS).
Figure 1. CRODATERIC LIDP is a more efficient hydrotrope than sodium xylene sulfonate
The hydrotrope efficiency was determined by titrating the hydrotrope into an aqueous solution containing 8% builder (composed of 30% sodium metasilicate, 30% sodium tripoly-phosphate and 40% sodium carbonate) and 2% SYNPERONIC™ 91/5.
The following table demonstrates the effectiveness of CRODATERIC LIDP over a range of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) levels.

Medium Duty Alkaline Cleaner Two medium duty alkaline cleaners were developed to test the cleaning performance of CRODATERIC LIDP verses a conventional surfactant in medium duty alkaline cleaner.

However, since less CRODATERIC LIDP is required, the overall cost of the formulation is reduced as the following graph illustrates:

A similar test was performed with a heavy duty alkaline cleaner high performance metal cleaner where CRODATERIC LIDP was incorporated into the following formulation and its degreasing of stainless steel at 40°C compared to the conventional formulation.
