Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of Lutensol A 7N?
A: Lutensol A 7N is a nonionic surfactant based on linear alcohol ethoxylate chemistry, featuring a C12–C14 linear alcohol backbone with an average of approximately 7 moles of ethylene oxide per molecule.
Q2: In which types of industrial cleaning formulations is Lutensol A 7N commonly used?
A: It is widely employed in low-foaming, high-efficiency aqueous cleaners for metalworking, industrial parts washing, and hard-surface cleaning applications—particularly where good soil removal, water-rinsability, and compatibility with electrolytes are required.
Q3: How does Lutensol A 7N perform in hard water conditions?
A: As a nonionic surfactant, Lutensol A 7N exhibits excellent stability and consistent performance in hard water, with minimal sensitivity to calcium and magnesium ions—making it suitable for formulations used in diverse geographical water conditions.
Q4: Is Lutensol A 7N compatible with common anionic and amphoteric surfactants?
A: Yes, Lutensol A 7N demonstrates broad compatibility with anionic surfactants (e.g., LAS, AES) and amphoteric systems (e.g., betaines), enabling synergistic formulation of balanced detergency, foam control, and surface-wetting properties.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range for Lutensol A 7N in finished cleaning products?
A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and performance targets, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—in industrial aqueous cleaner concentrates and ready-to-use solutions.
