Features

Surfactant B provides a wide range of formulating and performance benefits and is suitable for use in a multitude of cleaning applications. As well as providing excellent cleaning performance, it is especially suited to hard surface cleaning as it provides a non-streaky clean on glossy surfaces and is non-corrosive to syntheticmaterials, a common problem with many non-ionic surfactants.

Despite this being a highly concentrated product the low viscosity of Surfactant B makes this product remarkably easy to handle while maintaining all of the benefits of an alkyl polyglucoside, such as excellent wetting, penetrating and detergency properties favored for products designed to clean surfaces such as glass,ceramic, plastic and metal. Surfactant B readily dissolves in high concentrations of sodium hydroxide and remains stable and can increase the solubility of other non-ionic surfactants in highly alkaline solutions.

Surfactant B can be used in concentrated liquid laundry applications, providing stability to the formulation. The lack of a gelling phase also provides the formulator with ease of use. In household and I&I applications, Surfactant B provides caustic stability, builder compatibility, detergency and hydrotroping benefits, therefore providing the formulator greater flexibility and improved cost performance.
