Description
Lutensol® TO 8 is a nonionic surfactant. It is based on a saturated iso-C13-alcohol. This product is manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions. The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible. This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained. The numeric code in the product name indicates the degree of ethoxylation. Lutensol® TO 8 is a cloudy liquid at 23°C, and it tends to form a sediment. It is clear at 50°C.
Applications for Lutensol® TO 8
The Lutensol TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display. Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the Lutensol TO types can be combined with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries. They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates, ether sulphates, and other sulphated and sulphonated products. This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained. Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners, and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.
Applications include:
- Dishwashing
- Laundry
- Food and Beverage Processing
- Food Service and Kitchen Hygiene
- Commercial Laundry
- Institutional Cleaning and Sanitization
- Vehicle and Transportation Care
