Nonionic surfactant based on linear alcohol ethoxylate chemistry with optimized hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB ≈ 13.0).
Excellent wetting, emulsifying, and solubilizing performance in aqueous systems across a broad pH range (pH 4–12).
Low foaming profile suitable for high-shear and recirculating industrial cleaning processes.
Good compatibility with anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants in formulated systems.
Eco-preferred profile: readily biodegradable (OECD 301B compliant) and free of alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO-free).
Industrial and institutional (I&I) hard-surface cleaners, including floor, glass, and stainless-steel cleaners.
Emulsion polymerization stabilizer for vinyl acetate–ethylene (VAE) and acrylic latexes.
Wetting agent in agrochemical formulations such as herbicide and fungicide concentrates.
Component in metalworking fluid emulsions for improved oil-in-water stability and corrosion inhibition support.
Processing aid in textile auxiliaries, especially for scouring and dye leveling applications.

Q1: What is the primary function of Plurafac LF 1430 in industrial formulations?
A: Plurafac LF 1430 is a nonionic surfactant designed to provide effective wetting, emulsification, and solubilization in aqueous systems. It is particularly valued for its low-foaming behavior and good compatibility with electrolytes and other formulation components.
Q2: Is Plurafac LF 1430 suitable for use in cleaning products intended for hard surfaces?
A: Yes, it is commonly used in industrial and institutional cleaners for hard-surface applications due to its strong soil removal capability, stability across a broad pH range, and ability to enhance active ingredient performance without excessive foaming.
Q3: How does Plurafac LF 1430 perform in low-temperature applications?
A: It exhibits good low-temperature stability and remains soluble and functional in formulations stored or applied at cool ambient conditions, making it suitable for year-round use in temperate climates without requiring additional cloud point modifiers.
