Features Of BASF Plurafac LF 1430 Surfactant

  1. Nonionic surfactant based on linear alcohol ethoxylate chemistry with optimized hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB ≈ 13.0).

  2. Excellent wetting, emulsifying, and solubilizing performance in aqueous systems across a broad pH range (pH 4–12).

  3. Low foaming profile suitable for high-shear and recirculating industrial cleaning processes.

  4. Good compatibility with anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants in formulated systems.

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

Typical Applications Of BASF Plurafac LF 1430 Surfactant

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

  2. Emulsion polymerization stabilizer for vinyl acetate–ethylene (VAE) and acrylic latexes.

  3. Wetting agent in agrochemical formulations such as herbicide and fungicide concentrates.

  4. Component in metalworking fluid emulsions for improved oil-in-water stability and corrosion inhibition support.

  5. Processing aid in textile auxiliaries, especially for scouring and dye leveling applications.
