If You Are Looking For a Biodegradable Surfactant that Doesn’t Force You to Compromise on Performance, Look no Farther. New ECOSURFTM SA Surfactants New ECOSURFTM SA-7 and SA-9 Surfactants are seed oil based, nonionic biodegradable surfactants that help you meet most environmental and safe handling standards worldwide, while offering outstanding performance in cleaners, paints and coatings, and many other applications. Excellent Environmental Proﬁle Specify ECOSURFTM SA Surfactants for “green” products, such as biodegradable cleaners. They are readily biodegradable, per the OECD 301 test. They do not pose any requirement for environmental classiﬁcation or special labeling for formulated products sold almost anywhere in the world. And they produce no VOCs. Outstanding Performance Package ECOSURFTM SA Surfactants offer an extraordinarily wellrounded package of performance properties compared to many types of surfactants, including most linear and branched primary alcohol ethoxylates. Expect excellent surface tension reduction, wetting, detergency, and rapid collapsing foam. ECOSURFTM SA Surfactants also feature fast Detergency (Reﬂectance, Delta T) dissolution, no aqueous gelling, and excellent solubility in a wide range of electrolytes. See the ﬁgure for an example cleaning performance evaluation. 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Easy Handling Branched Nonylphenol Tridecanol Water ECOSURF primary SA-9 ethoxylate ethoxylate alcohol Low-viscosity ECOSURFTM SA ethoxylate Surfactants stand out as Detergency of Nonionic Surfactants in Model Laundry Evaluation easy to store, handle, and Tergotometer Delta Reflectance; Sebum/Pigment incorporate into formulations.
