APPLICATIONS
Pluronic PE 10100 is an effective wetting agent for use in dishwasherdetergents and rinse aids.
Pluronic PE 10100 is very low-foaming, and it suppresses the foam formed by other surfactants.
DESCRIPTION
The Pluronic PE types are low-foaming, nonionic surfactants.
They are block copolymers in which the central polypropylene glycol group is flanked by two polyethylene glycol groups.
The Pluronic PE types conform to the following structural formula.
Pluronic PE 10100 is Colourless, clear or slightly cloudy liquid.
STORAGE
-The Pluronic PE 10100 should be kept tightly sealed in a dry place in their tightly sealed original packaging.
Storerooms must not be overheated.
-Pluronic PE 10100 are hygroscopic and soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums should be tightly resealed each time material is taken from them.
-Pluronic PE 10100 should not be stored at temperatures substantially below 20 °C.
-Pluronic PE 10100 can become cloudy liquids at low temperatures and/or after long periods in storage, and this can cause them to form a sediment.
This cloudiness is reversible at 50 – 60 °C.
Reconstitution has no effect on their practical performance.
-Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of precipitation should be heated to 50 – 60°C and homogenized before use.
-Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 50 °C. This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.
-Pluronic PE 10100 must be blanketed with nitrogen if it is stored in heated tanks (at approx. 50 °C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant, gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils.
