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 meets criteria for use in Design for the Environment (DfE).
AKYPO LF 2 is a low foaming surfactant with excellent physico-chemical stability.
AKYPO LF 2 is an anionic surfactant designed for low-foaming applications in the household, industrial, and institutional industries.
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.
AKYPO LF types in general already improves the rinsing of the emulsion from the metal surface.
As part of a (metal) cleaner AKYPO LF 2 will also support the soil dispersing.
AKYPO LF types are usually combined with EO-PO based non-ionics.
The hydrotropic properties of AKYPO LF 2 will help to make a stable formulation in acid, alkaline and/or high electrolyte circumstances.
AKYPO LF 2 has a short alkyl chain (C8) and high degree of ethoxylation.
AKYPO LF 2 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).
The AKYPO products offer a wide range of secondary surfactants with excellent tolerance against hard water.
Depending on the carbon chain length and the ethoxylation degree the products show characteristic application properties.
AKYPO LF grades, with a chain length from C4 to C8, are low foaming surfactants with high dispersing and hydrotropic abilities.
AKYPO RLM products have a C12-C14 alkyl chain and their degree of ethoxylation ranges from 2.5 to 10 EO.
AKYPO products offer good foaming at different pHs.
Similar to the AKYPO SOFT grades they are mild co-surfactants and function as emulsifiers and solubilizers.
Finally the AKYPO RO products bring excellent lime soap dispersing properties and add some anti-corrosion benefits.
AKYPO products can be used in conveyor belt lubricants.
All qualities of AKYPO products show outstanding pH stability and high tolerance against electrolytes and builders.
