Features Of BASF Plurafac LF 120 Low Foaming Nonionic Surfactant

  1. Exceptionally low foaming profile, ideal for high-shear and enclosed-system cleaning processes.

  2. Excellent wetting and soil removal performance on both hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces.

  3. High stability in hard water and across broad pH range (pH 4–12), ensuring consistent performance in diverse formulations.

  4. Good compatibility with anionic, nonionic, and cationic surfactants, as well as common builders and enzymes.

  5. Eco-preferred profile: readily biodegradable (OECD 301B compliant) and non-alkylphenol ethoxylate (APEO)-free.

Typical Applications Of BASF Plurafac LF 120 Low Foaming Nonionic Surfactant

  1. Industrial and institutional (I&I) hard surface cleaners, including floor, glass, and stainless-steel cleaners.

  2. Low-foam aqueous parts washers and metal cleaning formulations in automotive and manufacturing sectors.

  3. High-efficiency (HE) laundry detergents and textile pre-spotters requiring minimal foam generation.

  4. Agrochemical adjuvants for tank-mix compatibility and enhanced spray droplet spreading.

  5. Specialty cleaning agents for medical device reprocessing and pharmaceutical equipment CIP systems.
