Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of Plurafac LF 131?
A: Plurafac LF 131 is a nonionic surfactant based on a linear alcohol ethoxylate structure, offering balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic properties and low foaming characteristics suitable for demanding industrial cleaning and formulation applications.
Q2: Is Plurafac LF 131 compatible with common builders and electrolytes in detergent formulations?
A: Yes, it demonstrates good compatibility with typical inorganic builders (e.g., sodium carbonate, sodium silicate), phosphates, and moderate levels of electrolytes, maintaining solution clarity and performance stability across a broad pH range (approximately 6–11).
Q3: How does Plurafac LF 131 perform in hard water conditions?
A: It exhibits strong resistance to calcium and magnesium ions, retaining effective wetting, emulsification, and soil removal performance in moderately hard to hard water, making it well-suited for laundry and industrial cleaning concentrates.
Q4: Can Plurafac LF 131 be used in low-temperature cleaning processes?
A: Yes, its formulation delivers reliable surface activity and solubilization efficiency even at reduced temperatures (e.g., 15–30 °C), supporting energy-efficient cold-water washing and ambient-condition industrial rinsing applications.
Q5: What are typical dosage guidelines for Plurafac LF 131 in liquid detergent formulations?
A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired performance intensity, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—in aqueous-based cleaners, where it contributes effectively to grease removal, foam control, and formulation stability.
