Products in Carpet & Upholstery: Alcohol Alkoxylates

Good performance for cleaning and foam control. Suitable for high-temperature cleaning (greater than 60°C). The cloud point is 30°C, so it has very low foaming above that temperature, which is ideal for carpet extraction operating temperatures (typically 35 to 50°C). Listed on the EPA's Safer Chemical Ingredients List, it is a low-foaming fatty alcohol EO/PO derivative.

Plurafac® D 250 is a non-ionic emulsifier that is suitable for oily soils, with a cloud point of 59°C and moderate foaming properties. It belongs to the EO/PO alcohol surfactant category and functions as a good non-ionic emulsifier for oily soils.

Dehypon® LS 36 is a low foaming non-ionic surfactant with a cloud point of 10°C. It is excellent for extraction cleaning and suitable for low temperature cleaning (Less than or equal to 45°C). The product exhibits good performance for cleaning and foam control.

Lutensol® XL 80 is a 100% active product. It has very fast dynamics and excellent detergency on oily soils. Even when used at low levels, it can boost the degreasing power of the detergent without reducing the foam. It has a lower tendency to form gel compared to longer-chain alcohol ethoxylates.

Lutensol® XL 90 is a 100% active nonionic surfactant that enhances the wetting and degreasing power of foam cleaners. With its fast dynamics and excellent detergency on oily soils, it finds application in various fields, including dishwashing, laundry, hard surface cleaning, food and beverage processing, food service and kitchen hygiene, commercial and institutional laundry, and industrial cleaning.
