TOXIMUL® CA-2 stands as a nonionic surfactant with wide application in diverse agricultural formulations. It can be employed individually or in conjunction with other surfactants. Categorized within the chemical group of amine ethoxylates, its roles encompass functioning as an emulsifier and adjuvant. Its versatile use includes concentrated emulsions (ew), emulsifiable concentrates (ec), fumigants, microemulsions (me), oil dispersants (od), oil in water emulsions (ew), ready-to-use (rtu) solutions, soluble concentrates (sl), suspension concentrates (sc), suspoemulsions (se), tank mix adjuvants, water dispersible granules (wg), and wettable powders (wp).

Applications & Uses

Applications

TOXIMUL CA surfactants are ethoxylated coco amines with approximately two to seven and one-half moles of ethylene oxide. They were developed for use as emulsifiers for a variety of pesticide formulations. They can be used alone or in combination with other surfactants.

Standard Packaging

TOXIMUL CA-2 is available in drums (400 lb, 181 kg) and in bulk quantities.

Storage & Handling

Storage & Handling
  • Normal safety precautions (i.e gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling TOXIMUL CA surfactants. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling materials.
  • Bulk Storage Information: Stainless steel and glass fiber-reinforced polyester tanks are recommended. Many oven-cured phenolic and epoxy/phenolic linings may also be used. Elevated storage temperature may be desirable to maintain ease of pumping. Temperatures up to 130°F (54°C) can be maintained for long periods of time without degradation of the product.
  • TOXIMUL CA surfactants which have been stored in drums at temperatures below 40°F (4°C) may thicken or solidify. TOXIMUL CA-2 is a viscous liquid below 40°F (5°C). The surfactants may be fluidized by warming with a drum heater or in a steam room. Drums should be vented prior to heating to avoid excessive pressure build up. Product temperatures over 130°F (54°C) are not recommended.
