Rhodoclean® MSC is a powerful, low-foam surfactant designed for industrial cleaning applications. Derived from ß-Pinene, a natural component of pine oil, its branched and cyclic structure delivers superior cleaning performance, fast wetting, and excellent compatibility with high-alkaline systems.

Key Features:

• Fast interface diffusion — accelerates cleaning cycles
• Low foaming — minimizes or eliminates the need for defoamers
• High solubility — stable in high pH and acidic environments
• Bio-based hydrophobe — supports sustainable formulation goals
• Strong detergency — effective against tough contaminants like rolling oil
• Reduced hydrotrope demand — simplifies formulation and lowers cost

Performance Highlights:

• Matches or exceeds the cleaning power of Nonylphenol Ethoxylates (NP) and Alcohol Ethoxylates (AE)
• Reduces surface tension to levels comparable with leading wetting agents
• Performs efficiently in spray cleaning systems at elevated temperatures (up to 45 °C) and high pH (12–13)
• Demonstrates better solubilization in builder systems, requiring less hydrotrope (e.g., Addikleen™ HK30)

Formulation Advantages:

• Enables cost-effective cleaning with lower surfactant and additive loads
• Compatible with a wide range of cleaning formulations, including alkaline and acidic systems
• Ideal for immersion and spray cleaning processes where low foam and fast action are critical
