BASF Dehypon OCP 502 Surfactant – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Dehypon OCP 502 in industrial cleaning formulations?

A: Dehypon OCP 502 is a nonionic surfactant designed to provide strong detergency, emulsification, and soil suspension capabilities—particularly effective in alkaline and moderately aggressive cleaning systems used for metal parts, industrial equipment, and hard-surface applications.


Q2: Is Dehypon OCP 502 compatible with common builders and co-surfactants in heavy-duty cleaners?

A: Yes, it exhibits good compatibility with phosphates, silicates, carbonates, and other nonionic or anionic surfactants commonly used in industrial cleaner concentrates. Its formulation stability supports robust performance across a wide pH range (typically pH 9–13).


Q3: How does Dehypon OCP 502 perform under high-temperature or high-shear conditions?

A: It demonstrates excellent thermal and mechanical stability, maintaining surfactant efficiency during hot alkaline wash cycles and high-shear mixing processes typical in CIP (clean-in-place) and automated industrial cleaning systems.


Q4: Can Dehypon OCP 502 be used in rinse-free or low-rinse applications?

A: While not specifically optimized for ultra-low-foam or no-rinse systems, its balanced foaming profile and good solubility allow adaptation in low-rinse formulations—especially when combined with defoamers or low-foam co-surfactants and adjusted for required residue behavior.
