Features Of BASF Dehypon LS 54 Surfactant

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

  2. Excellent low-foaming performance, making it suitable for high-shear industrial cleaning and CIP (Clean-in-Place) applications.

  3. Good compatibility with anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants, enabling versatile formulation flexibility.

  4. Biodegradable under aerobic conditions (OECD 301D), supporting sustainable product design and regulatory compliance.

  5. Stable across a broad pH range (pH 2–13) and tolerant to moderate levels of electrolytes and hard water.

Typical Applications Of BASF Dehypon LS 54 Surfactant

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

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

  3. Agrochemical adjuvants for improving spray droplet spreading and active ingredient uptake.

  4. Textile auxiliaries in scouring, dye leveling, and low-foam rinsing processes.

  5. Specialty metalworking fluid components for emulsion stability and residue control.
