T-Det® 1618 DI

T-Det® 1618 DI is the most water-soluble surfactant in the low-foam series. It is a 100% active, alkoxylated fatty alcohol that generates moderate foam at room temperature. Its foam profile and wetting power improve significantly as the temperature rises. This product is effective in rinse aid formulas, mechanical dishwashing, and bottle wash applications and can also be used in pulp and paper processing. Adding small amounts of T-Det® 1618DI302 can further enhance the foam profile of this product.
