- Recommended Uses and Known Applications
- MARLOX OP-1 is a very low foaming wetting agent, used in formulations for textile processing (pre-treatment and dyeing) and textile finishing where the foam formation cannot be controlled with standard non-ionic alcohol ethoxylates.
- In detergency field MARLOX OP-1 is used primary low foaming surfactant and rinse aid agent in Automatic Dish Washing.
- MARLOX OP-1 is also used as wetting agent with very low foaming profile in Hard Surface Cleaners formulations and I&I field as well.
- MARLOX OP-1 can be used in extreme agitated systems like e.g. in jet dying, due to its low foaming behavior.

- Storage And Handling
- MARLOX OP-1 should preferably be stored in stainless steel tanks.
- It is suggested to keep the product at temperature below 30°C, it is preferable to avoid heating above 50°C and to store under nitrogen in order to minimize yellowish phenomena.
- MARLOX OP-1 is a clear liquid at room temperature it becomes a solid wax at temperature lower than 0°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 -10 °C.
- MARLOX OP-1 is soluble in water at room temperature at any concentration.
- Shelf-life is 36 months from production date for product in its original and sealed packaging.
