- Formulation Guidelines
- Burco ECO-2450 can be used in both acidic and basic environments. The product is stable in solutions containing up to 50% caustic soda or potash. To avoid gel formation with caustic, premix ECO-2450 with an equal amount of water and other components before adding caustic.
- Use of solvents such as glycols, glycol ethers, and d-limonene in the formulation is possible.
- To increase the amount of foam generated, surfactants such as Burcoterge C2P-39 (amphoteric) or Burco COPB-35 (betaine) can be added to the formulation provided that they are soluble in the builder system being used.
- Formulation of DfE and Green Seal acceptable products should follow the guidelines published by the certifying bodies to ensure all standards are met for all materials in a given formulation.
