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.
