Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of Lutensol ON 80?
A: Lutensol ON 80 is a nonionic surfactant based on linear alcohol ethoxylates, specifically derived from C13–C15 linear alcohols with an average of approximately 80 moles of ethylene oxide per molecule. Its high EO content imparts excellent water solubility, low foaming characteristics, and good compatibility with electrolytes.
Q2: In which industrial cleaning applications is Lutensol ON 80 most commonly used?
A: It is widely employed in heavy-duty industrial and institutional cleaners—especially alkaline formulations for metal parts cleaning, floor maintenance products, and spray-and-wipe solutions—where high emulsification capacity, soil suspension stability, and tolerance to hard water and elevated temperatures are required.
Q3: How does Lutensol ON 80 perform in high-pH or high-temperature environments?
A: Due to its nonionic structure and high ethoxylation degree, Lutensol ON 80 exhibits exceptional stability under strongly alkaline conditions (pH up to 14) and at elevated temperatures (up to 90 °C), making it suitable for boil-out formulations and hot alkaline cleaning processes without significant hydrolysis or loss of performance.
Q4: Is Lutensol ON 80 compatible with anionic and cationic surfactants?
A: It shows good physical and functional compatibility with many anionic surfactants (e.g., LAS, AES) in formulated systems, enabling synergistic detergency. Compatibility with cationic species is generally limited and should be evaluated case-by-case, as interactions may lead to precipitation or reduced efficacy in certain pH or concentration ranges.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range for Lutensol ON 80 in cleaning concentrates?
A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired performance, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in ready-to-use or diluted cleaning solutions, and up to 5–10% in concentrated industrial formulations where high emulsification and soil suspension are critical.
