Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of Plurafac LF 700?
A: Plurafac LF 700 is a nonionic surfactant based on alkylphenol ethoxylate chemistry, specifically derived from nonylphenol and ethylene oxide. It exhibits good wetting, emulsifying, and solubilizing properties in aqueous systems.
Q2: Is Plurafac LF 700 suitable for use in industrial cleaning formulations?
A: Yes, it is commonly used in heavy-duty industrial cleaners, especially where strong detergency, soil suspension, and compatibility with builders and other surfactants are required. Its performance is particularly effective in hard water conditions and across a broad pH range.
Q3: How does Plurafac LF 700 compare to linear alcohol ethoxylates (LAOs) in terms of foaming behavior?
A: Plurafac LF 700 typically generates lower foam compared to many LAO-based surfactants, making it well-suited for low-foam applications such as spray-and-wipe cleaners or high-speed industrial cleaning processes where excessive foam can hinder performance.
Q4: Can Plurafac LF 700 be used in formulations intended for metalworking fluids?
A: Yes, it is frequently incorporated into soluble oil and semi-synthetic metalworking fluid concentrates to enhance emulsion stability, improve wetting of metal surfaces, and support lubricity—though final formulation compatibility and performance should be verified under application-specific conditions.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range for Plurafac LF 700 in finished products?
A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and performance targets, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—in industrial cleaning, metalworking, and agricultural adjuvant applications.
