DeTERIC CSP-50 Low Foam, Caustic Stable Surfactant

1 of 5 products in this brand
DeTERIC CSP-50 is a unique, low foam amphoteric surfactant recommended to reduce the surface tension of 50% active caustic soda or 45% active caustic potash. Produces low, quick breaking foam, provides detergency, wetting, and surface tension reduction. DeTERIC CSP-50 is recommended for highly alkaline CIP cleaners as it maintains good color stability in strong caustic formulations.

Product Efficacy Studies
  • Foam Height of DeTERIC CSP-50:

The foaming properties of DeTERIC CSP-50 were determined via Modified Ross-Miles Foam Height, graduated cylinder shake test using 3% by weight of surfactant in 50% active sodium hydroxide. The test solutions were further diluted 1:1 with deionized water prior to testing.

  • Color Stability of DeTERIC CSP-50

All test solutions are 3% surfactant by weight in 50% active sodium hydroxide. Appearance and Gardner Color of each solution were determined initially and after one month at ambient temperature. Similar results were observed in 45% active potassium hydroxide.
