Galaxy 790 G is an anionic surfactant in granular form, which offers faster dissolution in water compared to needle form and very less dusting compared to powder form. It has excellent foaming power and detergency property. It is also a good emulsifier. It is most effective under alkaline conditions (pH > 7.5). It can be used with other anionic, non-ionic or amphoteric surfactants. However, due to its anionic character, it should not be used with cationic components like cationic surfactants, cationic dyes, etc.

- Storage & Handling Information
- Store the material in a clean, dry place at below 35°C away from moisture, heat and sunlight.
- Keep the bags tightly closed.
- Since the product is hygroscopic in nature, use the product within a week after opening the bag.
- In the original sealed condition, when stored as suggested, the shelf life of the product is at least two years.
- Slight pH drop is possible over prolonged storage. In case of drop in pH, it is safe to use the material as long as the pH is ≥ 7.0.
- Soft, easily breakable agglomerates may be formed on storage.
- During storage, to avoid lumping, stack maximum 8 bags (non-palletized) and for palletized, single pallet on ground or in pigeon hole or in rack. Jumbo bags should be stored singly with crates.
