AntiPro EP-3M is a very low-foaming surfactant system that is readily soluble in 50% caustic soda solutions without the need for prolonged mixing or heating. AntiPro EP-3M contributes to quick dynamic surface tension lowering resulting in fast wetting and spreading on various hydrophobic substrates. AntiPro EP-3M provides extremely low foam properties making this product suitable for many industrial cleaning processes.

Key Features

AntiPro EP-3M exhibits the following attributes when formulated at a 600 ppm use level into final working solutions:

  • Extremely low surface tensions depending on formulation.
  • Provides the lowest known surface tension properties from acommercially available surfactant system to 50% Caustic Soda solutionsand their use dilutions.
  • Quick dynamic surface tension lowering resulting in fast wetting andspreading on various hydrophobic substrates.
  • Extremely low foam properties making this product suitable for manyindustrial cleaning processes.
  • Does not contain any California Proposition 65 listed chemicals.
  • Can reduce either the NaOH consumption or the cleaning cycle time by as much as 50%.

Formulation Tips
  • For best results AntiPro EP-3M should be formulated at a use level of 600 ppm (or 0.060% by weight) use level in the cleaner’s final working solution.
  • For example, if a 50% Caustic Soda-Based Cleaner Concentrate is designed to be diluted to a 3% active sodium hydroxide level (which would indicate a 6% solution of 50% sodium hydroxide in water) then 1.00% AntiPro EP-3M would need to be added to the Caustic Soda-Based Cleaner Concentrate in order to have a 600 ppm (0r 0.060% by weight) level of AntiPro EP-3M in the final use dilution with water.
