Q1: What is the primary function of BASF LT 104L in industrial cleaning formulations?
A: BASF LT 104L is a nonionic surfactant designed to provide strong detergency, foam control, and soil suspension—particularly effective in alkaline hard-surface cleaners, metalworking fluids, and industrial degreasers where balanced wetting and emulsification are required.
Q2: Is BASF LT 104L compatible with common anionic and amphoteric surfactants?
A: Yes, LT 104L exhibits good compatibility with anionic surfactants such as LAS and AES, as well as amphoteric systems like betaines—enabling formulation flexibility in multi-component detergent blends without significant viscosity instability or phase separation under typical processing conditions.
Q3: How does BASF LT 104L perform in high-temperature or high-pH applications?
A: LT 104L demonstrates excellent thermal and alkaline stability, maintaining surfactant performance in formulations with pH values up to 12.5 and process temperatures exceeding 70 °C—making it suitable for demanding CIP (clean-in-place) and boil-out applications.
Q4: What are the recommended handling and storage conditions for BASF LT 104L?
A: Store in original sealed containers at ambient temperature (15–30 °C), away from direct sunlight and freezing conditions. The product is supplied as a viscous liquid and may require gentle warming to improve pumpability if stored below 15 °C; avoid prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures during handling.
