- Features and Benefits
- Adds detergency, hydrotroping, and antistatic properties to detergents, cleaners, softeners, and similar formulations
- Exhibits excellent solubility and compatibility in acid and alkaline formulations including anionic surfactants
- Produces dense, stable foam
- Provides corrosion inhibition in muriatic, hydrofluoric, and sulfuric acids on mild steel (not suitable for use with nitric acid)
- Does not contain corrosive chloride quats
- Higher in charge density and lower in cold water solubility than Burcoquat TS-20
Applications & Uses

- Applications
- Home Care Applications
- I&I Cleaning Applications
- Recommended Uses
- I&I: all purpose cleaners and degreasers, acidic toilet bowl cleaners, vinyl and aluminum siding cleaners, chrome plating baths (creates a foam blanket)
- Transportation: truck washes, aluminum and stainless steel cleaners and brighteners, aluminum and fiberglass boat cleaners, canvas and vinyl cleaners
- Packaging: plastic dust and dirt repellents, carpet, fiberglass, and packing peanut antistat treatments
- Formulation Guidelines
- Burcoquat TS-15 can be used in both acidic and basic environments. However, effectiveness of the product rapidly diminishes above a pH of 11.5.
- When Burcoquat TS-15 is added to water, a gel forms. To break the gel, heat to 60°C.
- The use of solvents such as glycols, butyl ethers, and d-limonene as part of 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.
