Q1: What is the primary function of Plurafac LF 132 in industrial formulations?
A: Plurafac LF 132 is a nonionic surfactant designed primarily for wetting, emulsification, and solubilization in aqueous systems. It is especially valued for its low-foaming profile and good compatibility with electrolytes, making it suitable for demanding cleaning, agrochemical, and industrial maintenance applications.
Q2: Is Plurafac LF 132 compatible with acidic or alkaline conditions?
A: Yes — as a nonionic ethoxylated alcohol surfactant, Plurafac LF 132 demonstrates broad pH stability and remains effective across a wide pH range, typically from approximately pH 2 to pH 13, without significant hydrolysis or performance loss under standard processing conditions.
Q3: How does Plurafac LF 132 compare to other Plurafac grades in terms of foaming behavior?
A: Plurafac LF 132 is specifically formulated to deliver significantly lower foam generation compared to conventional alkylphenol ethoxylates or higher-foaming alcohol ethoxylates. This makes it preferred in high-shear applications such as spray cleaning, CIP systems, and pumpable agrochemical concentrates where foam control is critical.
Q4: What are typical dosage guidelines when using Plurafac LF 132 in cleaning formulations?
A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and performance targets, but Plurafac LF 132 is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight — to achieve effective wetting and soil removal without compromising rinseability or system compatibility.
