Surfactants Newsletter
Greetings!
 
So many things these days are said to be green. Is it a color, a marketing tool, a way of living? Well all three can be said to be true.

SI continues to develop products based on sound science. We have developed a method of calculating the actual renewable carbon content of ingredients and index them in our formulae.

Chosen for this newsletter are four products which very well meet our criteria set for a truly Green Ingredient.

You will also find suggested formulae for incorporating these ingredients in household and institutional cleaners.
Green Ingredients From SI
 
Surfapon AG 42

Surfapon AG 42 is a unique and effective non ionic surfactant. When it comes to Green, the raw materials from which it is made are from 100% renewable resources, namely natural coconut and palm oils and corn sugars.
 
It is an excellent choice for use in H I &I formulations.
 
While being non- ionic, it contains no ethoxylation and is highly compatible with alkaline builders including sodium hydroxide and other electrolytes found in this type of cleanser. Furthermore, alkyl glycosides have been found to be non streaking on in hard surface applications, therefore ideal for glass, metal, tile and other hard surface cleaners.


Surfapon AG 60

Surfapon AG-60, with similar chemistry to that of Surfapon AG-42, is ideally suited for applications such as household or institutional manual dishwashing liquids where foam stability and soil removal is of importance. Additionally, Surfapon AG-60 finds application in industrial and institutional cleaners where there exist heavier soil loads.


Surfacare HSC-2

Surfacare HSC-2 is an organic surfactant concentrate for use in the development of green household and institutional hard surface cleaning formulations. Surfacare HSC-2 is an optimized surfactant concentrate combination that provides excellent wetting, detergency and emulsification of both hydrophilic and lipophilic soils.

Furthermore Surfacare HSC-2 has excellent tolerance for electrolytes such as sodium carbonate and sodium citrate.
 
Surfacare HSC-2 is therefore excellent as the surfactant choice for all-purpose cleansers and detergents.
 

Surfox LO- Special

Surfox LO special is a naturally derived amine oxide with targeted optimum performance in many household and institutional cleaners.  Made from renewable resources, it fits well into today's quickly evolving Green market direction.
 
Surfox Lo Special is compatible with most surfactants as it is nonionic and uncharged.
 
Surfox LO Special will not hydrolyze in acid systems ,and is also stable in sodium hypochlorite and highly alkaline products.
