- Applications
Good detergency :
- Hard Surface cleaners and general cleaners. In formulations that contain alcohol ethoxylates then use BioLoop 68L as a green alternative. Also the SDS classifications will help ensure no hazard classifications.
Excellent substrate wetting on Nylon 6, Nylon 66 and Polycarbonates :
- Can be used in textile applications that contain Nylon.

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 and then after 1, 3 and 5 minutes.
Conclusion : When compared to our full range of surfactants would be classed a MEDIUM foam surfactant.
- Detergency Testing
Test method : A formulated soil is applied to a painted disk and then aged in an oven. The disk is then soaked in a detergent solution for 10 minutes and then rotated for a further 5 minutes. The % soil removal is then measured.
No Detergent

Results :
No Detergent BioLoop 68L % Soil Removal 20.1% removal 77% removal - Substrate Wetting
Test method : A 0.5% solution is prepared and is dropped onto various substrates. The contact angle is then measured using a goniometer. The angle is measured initially and then after 5 seconds. The lower the angle the better the product wets the substrate.
