BioLoop 68 L is a bio-based surfactant with 100% renewable components. It's formulated with a hydrophilic loop reacting with a vegetable oil hydrophobe, ensuring a good sustainability profile as it is free from palm oil. Its appearance is that of an amber liquid, suggesting it might share similar properties with other surfactants in terms of use and application.

Functions: Surfactant, Surfactant (Nonionic)

Labeling Claims: Bio-based, Biodegradable, From Renewable Resources, Green Alternative, Non-Irritant, Non-Toxic, Palm Oil-free

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 68 L - Foaming Profile - 1

Conclusion when compared to our full range of surfactants would be classed a medium foam surfactant.

Detergency Profile

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.
