Formulation Guidelines
  • Burcoterge KBM 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.
