Efficient cleaning.
AKYPO LF 2 is a solubilizer with short alkyl chain (C8) and high degree of ethoxylation; besides its excellent foam control ability. 
AKYPO LF 2 is also used as de-aring agent.

AKYPO LF-2 is a low foaming anionic surfactant, ether carboxylic derivative, used for household, industrial and institutional applications. 
AKYPO LF 2 is liquid at room temperature and highly concentrated. 
AKYPO LF 2 shows good hydrotropic and dispersing properties being acid, alkaline and electrolyte stable. 
AKYPO LF 2's meets criteria for use in Design for the Environment (DfE).

AKYPO LF 2 is an anionic surfactant designed for low-foaming applications in the household, industrial, and institutional industries.

AKYPO LF2 is a co-surfactant for general detergents and cleaners which is pH and hard water stable with hydrotropic and anti-corrosion properties. 
Compatible with quaternary compounds, AKYPO LF 2 is peroxide-stable, hydrolysis-stable, hypochlorite-stable, alkaline- and acid-stable. 
AKYPO LF types are used singly or in combination as low-foaming surfactants for applications in household, industrial and institutional areas. 
In acidic or aqueous solutions, the AKYPO LF types behave like non-ionic surfactants. 
In neutralised form they behave like anionic surfactants (this is the so-called crypto-anionic character of alkyl ether carboxylic acids).

AKYPO LF 2 is an anionic, low foaming surfactant with hydrotropic properties.  
AKYPO LF 2 is a solubiliser for metalworking fluids and reduces foam stability when combined with foaming surfactants.  
In formulations, AKYPO LF 2 exhibits the support of corrosion prevention, hard water stability and mildness to skin.
