- Applications
The main feature of BioLoop 56L is the low foam characteristics. This will lend itself to be used in applications where foam control is essential. Many applications that are subject to high shears such as industrial spray cleaners, textile axillaries and machine dishwashing applications need good foam control to function effectively.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Foaming Profile
Test method : A 0.1% solution is prepared and aerated for 30 seconds and then stopped. The degree of foaming is assessed initially, then next after 10 seconds and then again after 60 seconds.
Conclusion : This product has extremely low foaming characteristics compared to other commercially available surfactants.
- Detergency Testing
Detergency testing - ASTM D3556 - Machine Dishwash
Test method : A test formulation was prepared and compared against the leading brand of dishwasher all-in-one solid/liquid pods. The BioLoop 56L replaced a conventional synthetic liquid detergent component such as Trideceth-n (Lansurf AE37). No difference in performance was observed when comparing the leading brand. Below depicts the cleaning performance on glass tumblers and both have the same excellent performance.
Formulation - based on water soluble polymer capsule
Sodium Carbonate 8.8 Sodium Carbonate - peroxide 4.32 BioLoop 56L 2.88 
Observation : No differences were observed in the cleaning performance when replacing a synthetic liquid detergent with BioLoop 56L. As in most commercial all-in-one tablets, the alkaline powder is kept in a separate polymer pouch to the liquid detergent. This is to ensure greater storage stability.
