ESTISURF® LF 263

ESTISURF® LF 263 is a low-foaming, low-odor non-ionic surfactant based on alkoxylated 2-ethylhexanol. It is soluble in fatty acid esters and glycol ethers and dispersible in water. This can easily be solubilized in hydrocarbon solvents with the use of coupling agents such as glycol ethers, ESTISURF 430, or ESTISOL esters. It is very low-foaming.
