- Product Features
- Excellent detergent - Does not show a loss of detergency in brine or hard water.
- Solubility - The good solubility characteristics make them especially useful for use in alkaline liquid formulations.
- Excellent foaming agent
- Salt Thickening - Show a pronounced thickening with the addition of sodium chloride to a dilute solution.
- Compatibilit y with aqueous ions - Stable to hard water and has excellent lime soap dispersing properties, due to the calcium salt being soluble.
- Chemical and temperature stability - Prone to hydrolysis in aqueous solution at acid pH and high temperatures (not suitable for use above 50°C).
