- ALFONIC 810-2 Ethoxylate is particularly well suited for hard-surface cleaning applications. It performs better than traditional hard-surface cleaning surfactants (e.g. alkylphenol ethoxylates) because it contains a smaller hydrophobe, which significantly improves its solvency properties.
- Use of a shorter chain ethoxylate also helps eliminate the need for an organic solvent (e.g. ethylene glycol monobutyl ether) in the cleaning formulation. ALFONIC 810-2 Ethoxylate may also be sulfated and used as an agricultural emulsifier.

Further information on storage conditions
- Mix thoroughly before use. When stored in the liquid form, ethoxylates should be padded with a dry inert gas, such as nitrogen, to prevent oxygen or air from entering the tank. Prolonged storage in the presence of air or oxygen may cause product degradation. Oxidation is not expected when stored under a nitrogen atmosphere. Inert gas blanket and breathing system needed to maintain color stability. Use dry inert gas having at least -40°C (-40°F) dew point.
- Small quantities should be stored in sealed bottles, totes and drums at a temperature of 25°C (77°F) or less. Liquid bulk quantities should be padded with a dry inert gas, such as nitrogen, to prevent air from entering the tank or container. The product should not be exposed to temperatures in excess of 60°C (140°F) for long periods of time to avoid product degradation. Based on our experience, ALFONIC 810-2 Ethoxylate shows no physical and/or chemical changes for at least 24 months after the manufacturing date when stored under conditions that minimize exposure to air, moisture and extreme temperatures. It is recommended to test the ethoxylate for key specifications every 24 months after the manufacturing date.
