These low foaming nonionics have excellent surface activity and most of them are ultimately biodegradable and not dangerous to the environment. 25 10 0 0 5 10 15 Time [d] 20 25 28 30 The fields of application vary according to the cloud points of the products. 2 g/L in tap water 350 300 Foam volume [ml] 250 200 150 EP 2552 EP 2424 EP 2445 EP 2544 EP 2454 BE 2410 EP 0244 EP 2564 EP 2464 BE 2810 EP 2584 100 Low foaming surfactants show significant defoaming characteristics if used above their cloud points.

These block polymers based on propylene glycols were supplemented by ethylene diamine based EO/PO adducts. To combine good wetting with low foaming. Foam behavior of selected alkyl alkoxylates Dynamic foam method (high pressure). 50 0 30 40 50 Temperature [°C] 60 70 Clariant manufactures a wide range of low foaming surfactants designed to provide the appropriate functionality for all of our customers´ application needs. foaming has to be suppressed. We help you to get your foam under control. In many technical cleaning processes and in some special household applications.Low foaming surfactants The history of low foaming nonionic surfactants began with the discovery that surface active substances can be obtained by addition of ethylene oxide (EO) to polymers of propylene oxide (PO). Foaming and wetting are temperature dependent processes. We extended our product range with alcohol ethoxylates modified by adding a well-defined amount of PO or endcapping by a short alkyl chain. 31.0 not applicable 19.0 39.34. in demineralised water *** 1% a.30.25.27.70.0 .5 .0 24.31.0 27.0 .30.27.0 .26.0 .0 not applicable Alcohol EO adducts .0 66.0 28.11.5 not applicable 57.0 .m.0 ** 58.0 .0 .21.5 .0 .0 .butyl endcapped Trade name Chemical name Cloud point BDG [°C] * Cloud point H20 [°C] ** Genapol BE 2410 Genapol BE 2805 Genapol BE 2810 C12/C14 fatty alcohol ethoxylate butyl ether with 10 EO C12/C18 fatty alcohol ethoxylate butyl ether with 5 EO C12/C18 fatty alcohol ethoxylate butyl ether with 10 EO 36.0 30.0 ** 69.0 .0 55.0 27.91.0 39.0 .49.0 .0 . in 10% aqueous NaCl solution .0 .0 62.0 .0 Ethylene diamine EO/PO adducts Trade name Chemical name Cloud point BDG [°C] * Cloud point H20 [°C] ** Genapol ED 3030 Genapol ED 3060 Ethylene diamine EO-PO block polymer Ethylene diamine EO-PO block polymer 52.0 .0 .45.0 12.0 .36.0 .0 .30.37.0 .62.0 not applicable 23.0 .0 not applicable 28.0 20.Product Range Alcohol EO/PO adducts Trade name Chemical name Cloud point BDG [°C] * Cloud point H20 [°C] ** Genapol EP 6068 Genapol EP 8077 Genapol EP 1022 Genapol EP 1024 Genapol EP 0244 Genapol EP 2424 Genapol EP 2445 Genapol EP 2454 Genapol EP 2464 Genapol EP 2544 Genapol EP 2564 Genapol EP 2584 Genapol EP 2552 C6/C10 fatty alcohol EO-PO adduct C8/C10 fatty alcohol EO-PO adduct Iso-C10 alcohol PO-EO adduct Iso-C10 alcohol PO-EO adducts C10/C12 fatty alcohol EO-PO adduct C12/C14 fatty alcohol EO-PO adduct C12/C14 fatty alcohol EO-PO adduct C12/C14 fatty alcohol EO-PO adduct C12/C14 fatty alcohol EO-PO adduct C12/C15 oxo alcohol EO-PO adduct C12/C15 oxo alcohol EO-PO adduct C12/C15 oxo alcohol EO-PO adduct C12/C15 oxo alcohol PO-EO adduct 31.5 32.28.m.0 .0 47.0 EO/PO block polymers Trade name Chemical name Cloud point BDG [°C] Cloud point H20 [°C] Genapol PF 10 Genapol PF 20 Genapol PF 40 Genapol PF 80 powder EO-PO-EO block polymer (10 % EO) EO-PO-EO block polymer (20 % EO) EO-PO-EO block polymer (40 % EO) EO-PO-EO block polymer (80 % EO) 33.0 .0 .55.19.41.0 24.0 19.33.0 .0 *** Cloud point according to EN 1890 * 5g in 25g 25% BDG solution ** 1% a.42.0 .0 39.58.0 40.0 26.39.21.42.0 ** 34.0 43.0 35.0 -15.0 .24.32.0 31.0 43.0 .38.0 .0 .72.0 .45.0 16.33.0 22.0 29.0 87.0 9.0 .0 .58.0 .42.0 .64.
