Features Of BASF Lutensol TO 12 Surfactants

  1. Nonionic surfactant based on linear alcohol ethoxylate (C13–C15, ~12 EO units) offering excellent balance of wetting, emulsification, and detergency.

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

  3. Good hard water tolerance and stability across a broad pH range (pH 4–12).

  4. Eco-preferred formulation: readily biodegradable (OECD 301B compliant) and low aquatic toxicity.

  5. Compatible with anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants, enabling versatile formulation flexibility.

Typical Applications Of BASF Lutensol TO 12 Surfactants

  1. Industrial and institutional cleaners (I&I), including floor cleaners, glass cleaners, and degreasers.

  2. Agrochemical adjuvants for improving pesticide solubilization, spreading, and foliar retention.

  3. Textile auxiliaries in scouring, dye leveling, and spinning oil emulsions.

  4. Paints and coatings as a stabilizer for pigment dispersions and latex emulsions.

  5. Home care liquid detergents and automatic dishwashing formulations requiring low-foam performance.
