Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of Plurafac LF 1300?
A: Plurafac LF 1300 is a nonionic surfactant based on linear alcohol ethoxylates, featuring a balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic profile optimized for emulsification and wetting in aqueous systems.
Q2: In which types of industrial formulations is Plurafac LF 1300 most commonly applied?
A: It is widely used in industrial and institutional cleaning agents, metalworking fluids, agricultural adjuvants, and water-based coatings—where stable emulsions, low foaming, and good hard-water tolerance are required.
Q3: How does Plurafac LF 1300 perform in hard water conditions?
A: Due to its linear alcohol backbone and optimized ethoxylation, it exhibits notably improved stability and performance in moderately hard water compared to branched or highly ethoxylated alternatives.
Q4: Is Plurafac LF 1300 compatible with common anionic and cationic surfactants?
A: It demonstrates broad compatibility with many anionic surfactants (e.g., LAS, AES) and selected cationic systems, though formulation-specific compatibility testing is recommended to ensure physical and functional stability.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range for Plurafac LF 1300 in finished products?
A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements but generally ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight—often used at low concentrations to achieve effective emulsification without excessive foaming or residue.
