Fountain Solutions
NIAPROOF Surfactant 08 is a unique ingredient in the formulation of offset printing fountain solutions. Its novel properties preserve the delicate emulsification balance between a fast breaking system and a rapid reemulsification which is necessary for high speed printing operations. It is the only surfactant avoiding these problems because of the absence of foam at a neutral and acid pH in addition to its negligible effect on emulsification.
Lye Washing and Lye Peeling of Fruits and Vegetables
In the commercial process of lye washing and lye peeling of fruits and vegetables, NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactant 08 assists the lye solutions in two important ways:
- In washing fresh produce to remove field soil, microorganisms, insect particles and chemical residues.
- In speeding the peeling of fruits and vegetables thus increasing productivity and reducing product losses.
NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactant 08 works best in washing baths 5 to 20 percent alkali. FDA guidelines stipulate the concentration must not exceed 0.2 percent in the alkali bath on a contained basis (0.5 percent as is). The application must be followed by a potable water rinse.
Textile Processing Bleaching
NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactant 08 is stable in the presence of concentrated bleaching powder solutions and is particularly recommended for use with calcium hypochlorite.
Mercerizing
NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactant 08 not only promotes extremely rapid mercerization of gray cotton goods, but also withstands the rigorous treatment encountered in concentrated mercerizing liquors.
This product is effective where the concentration of caustic is 15 to 20 percent (20 to 26 Baume). Mill experience indicates that a mixture of approximately 90 percent anionic 08 and 10 percent 2- ethylhexanol (added to reduce foaming) is an excellent mercerizing agent.
Household & Industrial Cleaners Wallpaper Penetrant
NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactant 08 has been used successfully in formulations that eliminate much of the work involved in removing old wall- paper. To use the formulation shown below, dilute it with 6 or 7 parts water, apply it with a sponge or brush, and allow it to remain on the paper for several minutes. If it does not immediately penetrate and loosen the paper, application of more solution and the allowance of adequate time will produce the desired ease of removal.
Agricultural Uses
NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactant 08 is an excellent coupling agent for inorganic salts that are incorporated in organic solventwater mixtures. This product has FDA approval for use in solutions for washing or to assist in the lye peeling of fruits and vegetables.
Metal Processing Metal Cleaning Alkaline Cleaning
The addition of NIAPROOF Surfactant 08 to alkaline degreasing baths reduces the cleaning time and the concentration of alkali required. In addition, a thoroughly clean surface suitable for plating and spraying is produced, and scumming effects are avoided by the thorough dispersal of grease and lime soaps.
Electrolytic Cleaning
The addition of 0.1 to 0.25 percent of NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactant 08 to the electrolytic solution decreases the surface tension of the solution and facilitates the release of hydrogen gas bubbles from the surface of the metal.
Plating
Added to a bright copper plating bath, 0.2 percent of NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactant 08 effectively eliminates much of the pitting caused by impurities. A penetrant made of one part Anionic 4 and 2 parts of Anionic 08 dissolves without haze in commercial nickel plating baths. At 0.1 percent concentration it lowers the surface tension to 30 dynes per centimeter at 30° centigrade.
Pickling
NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactant 08 may be used in acid pickling baths to reduce the pickling time, decrease the amount of acid required, obtain a more uniform pickle, minimize the formation of films of fatty acid on the metal , and facilitate removal of hydrogen gas bubbles. If the concentration of acid is greater than 10 percent, as is the case in pickling with hydrochloric acid, 0.1 to 0.25 percent of Anionic 08 will accelerate by 5 to 10 percent the pickling of stainless steel sheet in a bath containing 20 percent nitric acid and 5 percent hydrofluoric acid.
Molding
Addition of about 2 ounces of NIAPROOF 08 per 1000 pounds of sand decreases the mulling time and results in sand of more uniform size for use in making casting molds and cores.
Pharmaceuticals
NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactants have great value in the pharmaceutical industry. They enhance the bactericidal properties of common antiseptics, particularly those that are acidic. Their surface activity and wetting power are useful in such applications as rapid fixing of histological specimens, increasing the efficiency of tuberculosis antiseptic solutions, and enhancing the activity of penicillin when it is used as a topical remedy. NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactant 08 is important in penicillin manufacture for breaking undesired emulsions.

Safety & Health
- Toxicological Properties
NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactant 08 is regarded as a material of moderate oral and skin penetration toxicity. In comparing oral toxicity, for example, isopropanol has an LD50 of 5.84 grams per kilogram body weight. The data for skin penetration suggests that a toxic effect would be expected only after massive and prolonged exposure to the undiluted chemical. NIAPROOF Surfactants in the undiluted state are capable of causing significant eye injury.
When NIAPROOF Surfactants are mixed with other materials, their toxicity may be increased or decreased. Therefore, the toxicity of a mixture must be determined independently.
It has been the usual experience that dilution of NIAPROOF Surfactants lessens the irritant action. Thus, each of the materials in the table caused no irritant response when tested as a one percent solution in water.
Toxicity is only one indication of the existence of hazard in handling a chemical. Physical properties are equally important in determining the hazard.
The tabular data below indicates the relative degree of toxicity to animals as measured by single doses or contacts. The results of animal experiments may be indicative of the effects to be expected on human subjects, but they cannot be directly applied to humans without the use of suitable safety factors

Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling
NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactants are stable, have no flash points, and are comparatively safe to store and handle. They do, however, de-fat the skin and can damage the eyes. When handling NIAPROOF Surfactants, gloves and goggles should be used. Necessary precautions to prevent contact with the skin and eyes should also be taken.
NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactant 08 is sold as an aqueous solution and should be stored in fiberglass-reinforced plastic or stainless steel tanks. Certain types of lined steel tanks are also acceptable.
Outside tanks and piping for NIAPROOF Surfactants must be heated and insulated to prevent phase separation. Inside facilities may also require heating; this product may separate if stored below 60°F but can be redissolved with agitation above 90°F.
Standard centrifugal process pumps are commonly used for transfer service.
