Features Of BASF Dehypon LS 45 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 detergent and formulation systems.

  3. Low-foaming profile suitable for high-shear industrial cleaning and CIP (clean-in-place) applications.

  4. Good biodegradability (OECD 301E compliant) and low aquatic toxicity, supporting sustainable formulation goals.

  5. Stable across a broad pH range (pH 2–12) and tolerant to moderate levels of electrolytes and hard water.

Typical Applications Of BASF Dehypon LS 45 Surfactant

  1. Industrial and institutional cleaners (I&I), including floor cleaners, degreasers, and glass cleaners.

  2. Cleaning-in-place (CIP) formulations for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing equipment.

  3. Agrochemical adjuvants for improving spray droplet dispersion and foliar uptake of active ingredients.

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

  5. Emulsion polymerization stabilizers and co-emulsifiers in acrylic and styrene-butadiene latex production.
