Features Of BASF Lutensol TO 89 Surfactants

  1. Nonionic surfactant based on linear alcohol ethoxylate with optimized hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB ≈ 13.5) for balanced emulsification and solubilization.

  2. Excellent low-temperature stability and freeze-thaw resistance in aqueous formulations.

  3. Low foaming profile suitable for high-shear industrial cleaning and metalworking applications.

  4. Good compatibility with electrolytes, acids, and common co-surfactants in complex formulations.

  5. EcoVadis-recognized sustainable profile with readily biodegradable ethoxylate backbone and low aquatic toxicity.

Typical Applications Of BASF Lutensol TO 89 Surfactants

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

  2. Metalworking fluids, especially semi-synthetic and soluble oil concentrates.

  3. Agrochemical adjuvants for enhancing active ingredient dispersion and foliar retention.

  4. Textile auxiliaries for scouring, dye leveling, and softener stabilization.

  5. Paint and coating additives for pigment wetting and latex emulsion stabilization.
