T-Mulz® T9PE is a phosphate ester designed for use in alkaline formulations and hard surface cleaners. It may also be used in concentrated electrolyte solutions to improve salt tolerance. This product also functions as a hydrotrope and is capable of coupling silicates, phosphates, and carbonates into alkaline mixtures. The added benefits of this product are that it provides detergency and improved wetting power to the formulation. It finds application in agricultural tank mix additives as fertilizer-water conditioner formulations.

Functions: Coupling Agent, Fertilizer, Hydrotrope, Water Conditioner

Certifications & Compliance: California Proposition 65

T-Mulz® T9PE - Chemical Structure of Phosphate Esters

Features & Benefits

General Properties of Phosphate Esters
  • Alkali Stability and Solubility
  • Coupling and Emulsification
  • Detergency and Rinse-ability
  • Increased Hard Water Tolerance
  • Corrosion Inhibition
  • Lubricity
  • Wetting
  • Thermal Stability
Background on Phosphate Esters
  • Phosphate Esters are anionic surface active agents produced by reacting polyphosphoric acid or phosphorous pentoxide with molecules containing hydroxyl groups - commonly ethoxylated moieties or alcohols. Reactions using phosphorous pentoxide result in a mix of mono and di-esters, while products made with polyphosphoric acid are high in mono-ester yield.
  • Which type to use depends upon the properties needed in formulation. Mixed esters products are generally better for emulsification; whereas, mono- ester rich exhibit better hydrotroping properties.
