USE
Hostapur OS liq has strong wetting, cleaning and foaming characteristics.
The foam quality is excellent with high stability.
Hostapur OS liq is used in various industrial and consumer applications encompassing detergents for domestic, institutional and industrial cleaning, usage as processing aid in the textile, leather and chemical industry and as air entraining agent in the construction industry. 

DETERGENTS
Hostapur OS liq is used in the production of detergents and cleaning agents.
Hostapur OS liq is particularly suitable for the use in foam cleaners for upholstery and carpets, because of the low stickiness of the residues left on the fibers. 

TEXTILE AND LEATHER PROCESSING
Hostapur OS liq is also used in the textile and leather industry as a wetting agent, detergent and foaming agent. 

EMULSION POLYMERIZATION
Hostapur OS liq is used as emulsifier in emulsion polymerization of styrene / butadiene latex, styrene / butadiene rubber and acrylate and styrene / acrylate dispersions. in general 0,5 – 5,0 % Hostapur OS liq based on monomers is used in emulsion polymerization. 

BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION
Hostapur OS liq is used as air entraining agent in concrete, mortar and plasters to improve the resistance against ice pressure during freezing.
Hostapur OS liq is particularly stable against calcium ions which are largely present on the wet concrete.
Compared to other air entraining agents like e.g. sodium alkyl sulfates Hostapur OS liq is more efficient and requires lower dosages to produce the same air content.
On particular application for Hostapur OS liq are road pavements made of concrete.
Hostapur OS liq is added to the concrete mixture to produce microfoam with an average diameter of below 300 μm and stabilizes the required 4 – 5% air after short agitation of 30 seconds. 

The Dosage of Hostapur OS liq varies between 0,01 – 0,03% based on the cement or approximately 0,03 – 0,10 kg/m3 wet concrete.
Further building applications are mortars, plasters and gypsum board
