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

Features & Benefits

Key Features

ClearSol LLR exhibits the following attributes when formulated at a 300 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 solutions and 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 Clearsol LLR should be formulated at a use level of 300 ppm (or 0.030% 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 0.5% Clearsol LLR would need to be added to the Caustic Soda-Based Cleaner Concentrate in order to have a 300 ppm (0r 0.030% by weight) level of Clearsol LLR in the final 6% by weight use dilution with water (or 3% active NaOH working solution).
