Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of Lutensol TO 10?
A: Lutensol TO 10 is a nonionic surfactant based on linear alcohol ethoxylates, specifically derived from C10–C12 fatty alcohols with an average of approximately 10 moles of ethylene oxide per molecule. Its structure provides balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic properties suitable for emulsification, solubilization, and detergency in industrial formulations.
Q2: In which types of industrial cleaning applications is Lutensol TO 10 commonly used?
A: It is widely employed in low-foaming, high-efficiency industrial and institutional cleaners—especially for hard-surface cleaning, metal parts degreasing, and CIP (clean-in-place) systems—where stable emulsification of oils and greases at elevated temperatures and varying water hardness is required.
Q3: How does Lutensol TO 10 perform in hard water conditions?
A: As a nonionic surfactant, Lutensol TO 10 maintains good performance in moderately hard water, with minimal sensitivity to calcium and magnesium ions compared to anionic surfactants. Its effectiveness may be further enhanced when combined with appropriate chelating agents in demanding formulations.
Q4: Is Lutensol TO 10 suitable for low-temperature cleaning processes?
A: Yes—it exhibits favorable solubility and surface activity at room temperature and below, making it well-suited for cold-water or ambient-temperature cleaning applications where energy efficiency is prioritized, without compromising cleaning efficacy on light-to-moderate soils.
Q5: What are typical dosage guidelines for Lutensol TO 10 in formulated cleaners?
A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and soil type, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—in ready-to-use or concentrate systems. Optimal levels should be determined through application-specific testing to balance performance, foam control, and cost-effectiveness.
