Identification & Functionality

Features & Benefits

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
  • Does not contain corrosive chloride quats
  • Provides corrosion inhibition in muriatic, hydrofluoric, and sulfuric acids on mild steel (not suitable for use with nitric acid)
  • Cold water soluble
  • Provides foam in acidic environments
  • Lower in charge density and more cold water soluble than Burcoquat TS-15

Applications & Uses

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-20 can be used in both acidic and basic environments. However, effectiveness of the product rapidly diminishes above a pH of 11.5.
  • 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.
