BASF Nekal BX Conc.Paste Surfactant – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Nekal BX Conc.Paste in industrial formulations?

A: Nekal BX Conc.Paste is an anionic surfactant paste designed to provide effective wetting, emulsification, and detergency in demanding industrial cleaning and process applications, particularly where high active content and paste consistency are advantageous for handling and dosing.


Q2: Is Nekal BX Conc.Paste suitable for use in low-foaming cleaning systems?

A: Yes — it is formulated to deliver strong cleaning performance with moderate to low foam generation, making it well-suited for spray cleaning, CIP (clean-in-place), and other applications where excessive foam could interfere with process efficiency.


Q3: How should Nekal BX Conc.Paste be incorporated into aqueous formulations?

A: It is typically added during the aqueous phase under gentle agitation. Due to its concentrated paste form, it disperses readily in water and is compatible with common co-surfactants, builders, and chelating agents. Pre-dilution with warm water may facilitate uniform incorporation in viscous or cold formulations.


Q4: What are the recommended storage conditions for this product?

A: Store in original sealed containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, away from direct sunlight and freezing conditions. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures or repeated freeze-thaw cycles may affect viscosity and homogeneity.


Q5: Can Nekal BX Conc.Paste be used in formulations intended for metalworking fluids?

A: Yes — it is commonly employed in semi-synthetic and soluble oil metalworking fluid concentrates to enhance oil-in-water emulsion stability, improve surface wetting on metal substrates, and support residual cleanliness after machining operations.
