Features Of BASF Dehypon LS 24 Surfactant

  1. Nonionic surfactant based on linear alcohol ethoxylate with optimized hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB ≈ 13.5) for balanced wetting and emulsification.

  2. Excellent compatibility with anionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants in complex formulations.

  3. Low-foaming profile suitable for high-shear industrial cleaning and rinse processes.

  4. Good biodegradability (OECD 301E compliant) and low aquatic toxicity profile.

  5. Stable across broad pH range (pH 2–12) and tolerant to moderate electrolyte concentrations.

Typical Applications Of BASF Dehypon LS 24 Surfactant

  1. Industrial and institutional (I&I) hard-surface cleaners, including floor, glass, and stainless-steel cleaners.

  2. Automotive parts cleaning formulations for aqueous degreasing and pre-treatment stages.

  3. Agrochemical adjuvants for improving active ingredient dispersion and foliar uptake.

  4. Textile auxiliary systems, such as scouring and rinsing agents in cotton processing.

  5. Paint and coating additives for pigment wetting and stabilization in waterborne systems.

BASF Dehypon LS 24 Surfactant – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of Dehypon LS 24?

A: Dehypon LS 24 is a nonionic surfactant based on alkyl polyglucoside (APG) chemistry, derived from renewable raw materials such as fatty alcohols and glucose. It features excellent biodegradability, low ecotoxicity, and mildness to skin and mucous membranes.


Q2: In which types of industrial cleaning formulations is Dehypon LS 24 most commonly applied?

A: It is widely used in low-foaming, high-rinsing industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaners—especially for hard-surface cleaning, metal parts washing, and CIP (clean-in-place) systems—where good soil removal, compatibility with electrolytes, and stability across a broad pH range are required.


Q3: How does Dehypon LS 24 perform in combination with other surfactants or builders?

A: Dehypon LS 24 exhibits strong synergistic effects with anionic surfactants (e.g., LAS, AES) and common builders (e.g., sodium carbonate, sodium silicate), enhancing detergency and improving formulation stability—particularly in high-hardness water conditions.


Q4: Is Dehypon LS 24 suitable for use in rinse-off personal care products?

A: Yes—it is approved for use in cosmetic and personal care applications where mildness and natural origin are valued, including shampoos, body washes, and hand soaps. Its low irritation potential and favorable environmental profile support its inclusion in eco-certified and “natural”-positioned formulations.


Q5: What are the typical handling and storage recommendations for this product?

A: Dehypon LS 24 should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. It is supplied as a viscous liquid and may thicken at low temperatures; gentle warming to room temperature restores fluidity without affecting performance. Standard industrial handling precautions for non-hazardous liquids apply.
