- Features and Benefits
The ETOCAS series is a range of vegetable derived non-ionic surfactants suitable for use in a broad range of applications. Chemically, ETOCAS 30 is a PEG 30 Castor Oil while ETOCAS 40 is a PEG 40 version. Castor Oil is a very unique vegetable oil - being particularly high in ricinoleic acid. This gives the oil unusual solubilities in organic compounds. By ethoxylating this material, Croda is able to make the oil soluble in water - giving rise to a wide range of functionality and applications. Being more highly ethoxylated, ETOCAS 40 is the more water soluble of the two. This difference can at times make one preferred over the other as an emulsifier depending on the oil phase components.
Benefits

Add the first 3 items with agitation allowing each to disperse before adding the next item. In a separate vessel add the remaining items and mix until uniform. Add the contents of the second vessel to the first and mix until uniform. The finished product will be a clear, low viscosity liquid.
- Carpet Cleaner with Solvent
Formulation HI-0294-1 is suitable for use in aerosol or trigger spray systems. ETOCAS 30 allows the formulation of a stable micro-emulsion of d-Limonene. This type of carpet cleaner is suitable for use on rugs, carpets and upholstery.
