The normal grade of BioLoop surfactants are aimed at standard industrial-based processes in which clarity in an aqueous medium isn’t a necessity. The PG versions which denotes our purified grades are for industries in which clarity in aqueous mediums is essential.
Normal Grades:
- Oils and Lubricants
- Emulsion Polymers
- Agrochemical Additives
- Textiles Auxiliaries
- Hand and Floor Wipes
PG Versions:
- Personal Care
- Cosmetics
- Household Products

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.
- Detergency Profile
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.
Sample % soil removal Blank 20.1 BioLoop 84L 81.5 - 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.
