BASF Lutensol AP 14 Surfactants

BASF Lutensol AP 14 is a nonionic surfactant from BASF’s Lutensol AP series, featuring C12–C14 alcohol ethoxylate with ~14 EO units. It delivers excellent wetting, emulsification, and low-foam detergency in industrial cleaners, agrochemicals, and textile auxiliaries. Highly soluble, stable in hard water, and biodegradable, it balances performance with environmental compatibility.

Features Of BASF Lutensol AP 14 Surfactants

  1. Nonionic alcohol ethoxylate with high cloud point (>95 °C), ensuring excellent thermal stability in hot-process formulations.

  2. Outstanding emulsification and solubilization capacity for hydrophobic actives, including oils and waxes.

  3. Low foaming profile suitable for high-shear and industrial cleaning applications where foam control is critical.

  4. Good biodegradability (OECD 301B compliant) and favorable ecotoxicological profile for sustainable product design.

  5. Compatible with electrolytes and a broad pH range (pH 4–12), enabling formulation flexibility in complex systems.

Typical Applications Of BASF Lutensol AP 14 Surfactants

  1. Industrial and institutional (I&I) hard-surface cleaners, especially alkaline degreasers and metal cleaners.

  2. Agrochemical formulations, including EC (emulsifiable concentrate) and SC (suspension concentrate) adjuvants.

  3. Textile auxiliaries such as scouring and dyeing assistants for polyester and blended fabrics.

  4. Paint and coating additives for pigment dispersion stabilization and rheology modification.

  5. Personal care cleansing bases requiring mildness, clarity, and low-irritancy—particularly in syndet bars and liquid cleansers.
