Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of Lutensol TO 89?
A: Lutensol TO 89 is a nonionic surfactant based on a linear alcohol ethoxylate, featuring a C13–C15 alkyl chain and an average of approximately 8–9 moles of ethylene oxide per molecule. Its structure provides balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic properties suitable for emulsification and solubilization in diverse aqueous systems.
Q2: In which types of industrial formulations is Lutensol TO 89 most commonly applied?
A: It is widely used in industrial and institutional cleaning products, metalworking fluids, agrochemical adjuvants, and textile auxiliaries—particularly where stable oil-in-water emulsions, low-foaming performance, and good hard water tolerance are required.
Q3: How does Lutensol TO 89 perform in cold-water applications?
A: Due to its moderate ethoxylation level, Lutensol TO 89 exhibits good solubility and emulsifying activity at ambient and moderately low temperatures, making it suitable for cold-rinse or ambient-temperature cleaning formulations without requiring excessive heating.
Q4: Is Lutensol TO 89 compatible with ionic surfactants and common formulation additives?
A: Yes—it demonstrates broad compatibility with anionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants, as well as typical co-solvents, chelants, and corrosion inhibitors. Compatibility should always be verified in the final formulation due to potential interactions under specific pH or concentration conditions.
Q5: What are the recommended handling and storage conditions for this product?
A: Store in original, tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizing agents. Avoid prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures, as crystallization may occur and require gentle warming to redissolve without degradation.
