Technical Details & Test Data
- Flexisurf LO-30 Structure
- Technical Information
Flexisurf LO-30 is a versatile nonionic surfactant that contributes foaming, cleansing and solubilizing properties formulations ranging from shampoos to oven cleaners. Effective in acidic, neutral and alkaline solutions, and stable in hypochlorite bleach and peroxide systems, multi-functional LO-30 contributes grease-cutting detergency and foam boosting. While classified as a nonionic surfactant, the activity of Flexisurf LO-30 is enhanced in acid-based formulations for added performance in hard-water and scale dissolving cleaners.
Exceptional foaming and detergency properties with compatibility in nonionic, anionic and cationic surfactant solutions suggest a wide range of applications such as in Personal Care
formulations, Liquid Detergents, Household and Industrial Cleaners and in Industrial applications such as Mining, Oil Field and Electroplating.- Formulary
Cost effective, LO-30 formulates well into hard surface cleaners and high foaming liquid formulations. The product is compatible with hypochlorite, peracid, and peroxide
based formulations.- Versatile grease-cutting surfactant
Flexisurf LO-30 is one of the most versatile and widely used surfactants today. Characterized by effective and economical performance, naturally derived with high biodegradibility and low aquatic toxicity, LO-30 is the go-to ingredient of choice for
today’s formulators. Long recognized as a safe biodegradeable surfactant achieving primary biodegradation > 95% in 6 days: Swisher, R.D. “Surfactant Biodegradation” Vol. 18, 2nd Edition, Marcel Dekker, Inc., 1987, pp. 877. ), and based on a >85%
bio-renewable carbon value, Flexisurf LO-30 is a “Green” ingredient for environmentally responsible cleaning product formulations.Flexisurf LO-30 is the surfactant of choice...because it works.
Draves wetting
LO-30 is of only a handful of the best surfactants for Draves Wetting results (just seconds in a 0.5% active/3 gram hook evaluation), and the only ingredient in that group based on renewable feedstock.
Surface tension reduction
In the broad class of alkyl surfactants, LO-30 is within range of the best ingredients for surface tension reduction (33 dynes/ cm versus 30 dynes/cm for NPE-9).Caustic stability
soluble in about 16% NaOH (1% active), LO-30 has the advantage over many surfactants with higher caustic stability with stability in hypochlorite and peroxide bleaches.
Coupling
Primarily an effective foam booster, LO-30 functions as a coupling agent/hydrotrope for compatibilizing nonionic surfactant/glycol ether containing degreasers with about the
same performance as SXS, an ingredient that detracts from foaming and detergency.
