ESTISURF® 264

ESTISURF® 264 is a low-foaming, narrow-range non-ionic surfactant based on 2-ethylhexanol. This narrow-range ethoxylated alcohol has a low content of unreacted alcohol and produces considerably less foam than standard ethoxylates with a similar HLB value. It is applied in a broad range of applications, such as CIP cleaning, carpet cleaning, metal cleaning, and other areas where a low foam product profile is needed.

Industrial Application
  • ESTISURF 264 is applied in a broad range of applications such as CIP cleaning, carpet cleaning, metal cleaning, machine dishwashing and other areas, where a low-foam product profile is required.
  • ESTISURF 264 may be handled and stored at lower temperatures than standard nonionic surfactants due to the low pour point & low cloud point.
  • ESTISURF 264 stays liquid, homogenous and clear down to temperatures below -5⁰C.
  • Hydrotropes, such as ESTISURF A100-40 and ESTISURF M10, may be applied to solubilise ESTISURF 264 in aqueous cleaner formulations.
  • Formulations fine-tuned to be slightly turbid will show very rapid foam collapse.
