BioLoop 68L

BioLoop 68L is a new range of biobased surfactants containing components that are 100% renewable. This product is based on a hydrophilic loop reacted onto a vegetable oil hydrophobe, and being palm oil free has a good sustainability profile. Unlike many biobased surfactants, this product offers excellent surfactant properties and can be used as a green alternative to the conventional synthetic nonionics, such as alcohol ethoxylate.

Applications

Good detergency :

  • Hard Surface cleaners and general cleaners. In formulations that contain alcohol ethoxylates then use BioLoop 68L as a green alternative. Also the SDS classifications will help ensure no hazard classifications.

Excellent substrate wetting on Nylon 6, Nylon 66 and Polycarbonates :

  • Can be used in textile applications that contain Nylon.

Technical Details & Test Data

Foaming Profile

Test method : A 0.1% solution is prepared and aerated for 30 seconds and then stopped. The degree of foaming is assessed initially and then after 1, 3 and 5 minutes.

BioLoop 68L - Foaming Profile

Conclusion : When compared to our full range of surfactants would be classed a MEDIUM foam surfactant.

Detergency Testing

Test method : A formulated soil is applied to a painted disk and then aged in an oven. The disk is then soaked in a detergent solution for 10 minutes and then rotated for a further 5 minutes. The % soil removal is then measured.

Substrate Wetting

Test method : A 0.5% solution is prepared and is dropped onto various substrates. The contact angle is then measured using a goniometer. The angle is measured initially and then after 5 seconds. The lower the angle the better the product wets the substrate.
