Features Of BASF Pluronic PE3100 Low Foaming Nonionic Surfactant

  1. Exceptionally low foaming profile suitable for high-shear and automated cleaning processes.

  2. Excellent emulsification and solubilization performance across a broad pH range (pH 2–13).

  3. High hydrolytic and thermal stability, maintaining efficacy in hot alkaline wash solutions.

  4. Nonionic nature ensures compatibility with anionic, cationic, and amphoteric systems.

  5. Eco-preferred formulation: readily biodegradable and free of alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs).

Typical Applications Of BASF Pluronic PE3100 Low Foaming Nonionic Surfactant

  1. Industrial and institutional (I&I) hard-surface cleaners, especially for floor scrubbers and spray-and-vacuum systems.

  2. Alkaline parts washers used in metalworking and automotive manufacturing.

  3. Low-foam detergent formulations for textile pre-treatment and continuous dyeing equipment.

  4. Cleaning-in-place (CIP) formulations for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing equipment.

  5. Specialty emulsion polymerization aids where foam suppression is critical during monomer addition.
