Recommended Uses & Known Applications

• LIALET 145-8 is used as emulsifier for preparation of O/W emulsions. Due to its degreasing performance and relatively high melting point, LIALET 145-8 is suitable for HDP formulations, with the advantage to obtain a formulation better performing at intermediate temperature
• LIALET 145-8 can be used as detergent product in the wool scouring process.

Storage and Handling

• LIALET 145-8 should preferably be stored in stainless steel tanks. It is suggested to keep the product at temperature below 40°C, it is preferable to avoid heating above 60°C and to store under nitrogen in order to minimize yellowish phenomena.
• LIALET 145-8 is a fluid paste at room temperature and it becomes clear liquid at temperature about 50°C.
• LIALET 145-8 becomes a solid wax at temperature lower than 20°C. Improvement of appearance and handling at low temperature can be achieved by mixing the product with 5 weight% water to obtain a clear liquid up to a temperature about 15 C°.
• At room temperature LIALET 145-8 is not water soluble. Shelf-life is 36 months from production date for product in its original and sealed packaging.
