DESCRIPTION:
L-Malic acid is the naturally occurring isomer of malic acid, found mainly in sour and unripe fruits.
L-malic acid is a naturally occurring organic compound that can be found in many fruits and vegetables.
L-Malic acid is an important intermediate in the citric acid cycle as well as a key component of the Krebs cycle.

L-malic acid has been shown to have antiseizure and anti-inflammatory effects, and also inhibits the growth of bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus.
L-malic acid is synthesized from sodium carbonate and lactic acid by reacting with a mineral acid such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, or nitric acid.
This reaction produces hydrogen gas, water, and l-malic acid.
L-Malic Acid is also used for production of monoclonal antibodies against various targets, including human cells.

L-Malic acid gives many fruits, particularly apples, their characteristic flavor.
L-Malic acid is often referred to as “apple acid”.
The word malic is derived from the Latin mālum, for which Malus, the genus that contains all apple species, is also named
L-malic acid is a dicarboxylic acid found in fruits and vegetables, especially apples.
The name malic acid comes from the Latin word for apple, mālum.
Many fruits owe their tart and sour flavors to malic acid.
The salts and esters of malic acid are known as malate.

Many supplements bond to malate to improve their bioavailability, such as citrulline malate and magnesium malate.
Malate is also part of the citric acid cycle (CAC), sometimes referred to as the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA).

The CAC is the primary pathway that delivers energy to all areas of the body.
The CAC uses malate to produce NADPH, which then converts to NADH.
NADH is essential for producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), also known as the energy currency for cells.
ATP provides the necessary energy for various chemical reactions and biochemical processes that occur throughout the body.

L-Menthol's ability to chemically trigger the cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptors in the skin is responsible for the well-known cooling sensation it provokes when inhaled, eaten, or applied to the skin.
In this sense, it is similar to capsaicin, the chemical responsible for the spiciness of hot chilis (which stimulates heat sensors, also without causing an actual change in temperature).

L-Menthol's analgesic properties are mediated through a selective activation of κ-opioid receptors.
L-Menthol blocks calcium channels and voltage-sensitive sodium channels, reducing neural activity that may stimulate muscles.
Some studies show that menthol acts as GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator and increases Gabaergic transmission in PAG neurons.

L-Menthol also shares anaesthetic properties similar to propofol, by modulating the same sites of the GABAA receptor.
L-Menthol reacts in many ways like a normal secondary alcohol.
L-Menthol is oxidised to menthone by oxidising agents such as chromic acid or dichromate, though under some conditions the oxidation can go further and break open the ring.

L-Menthol is easily dehydrated to give mainly 3-menthene, by the action of 2% sulfuric acid.
Phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5) gives menthyl chloride.
L-menthol has natural insect-repellent properties and is sometimes used in insect repellent products, particularly those intended to deter mosquitoes and other biting insects.

Inhaling steam infused with L-menthol can provide relief from congestion and nasal stuffiness.
L-Menthol inhalation is a common home remedy for colds and respiratory discomfort.

Production:
Natural L-Menthol is obtained by freezing peppermint oil.
The resultant crystals of menthol are then separated by filtration.
Total world production of menthol in 1998 was 12,000 tonnes of which 2,500 tonnes was synthetic.

In 2005, the annual production of synthetic menthol was almost double.
Prices are in the $10–20/kg range with peaks in the $40/kg region but have reached as high as $100/kg.
In 1985, it was estimated that China produced most of the world's supply of natural menthol, although it appears that India has pushed China into second place.

L-Menthol is manufactured as a single enantiomer (94% e.e.) on the scale of 3,000 tonnes per year by Takasago International Corporation.
process involves an asymmetric synthesis developed by a team led by Ryōji Noyori, who won the 2001 Nobel Prize for Chemistry in recognition of his work on this process.

The process begins by forming an allylic amine from myrcene, which undergoes asymmetric isomerisation in the presence of a BINAP rhodium complex to give (after hydrolysis) enantiomerically pure R-citronellal.
This is cyclised by a carbonyl-ene-reaction initiated by zinc bromide to isopulegol [de], which is then hydrogenated to give pure (1R,2S,5R)-menthol.

Another commercial process is the Haarmann–Reimer process (after the company Haarmann & Reimer, now part of Symrise) This process starts from m-cresol which is alkylated with propene to thymol.
This compound is hydrogenated in the next step.
Racemic menthol is isolated by fractional distillation.
The enantiomers are separated by chiral resolution in reaction with methyl benzoate, selective crystallisation followed by hydrolysis.

L-Menthol can also be formed by hydrogenation of thymol, menthone, or pulegone.
In both cases with further processing (crystallizative entrainment resolution of the menthyl benzoate conglomerate) it is possible to concentrate the L-enantiomer, however this tends to be less efficient, although the higher processing costs may be offset by lower raw material costs.
A further advantage of this process is that D-menthol becomes inexpensively available for use as a chiral auxiliary, along with the more usual L-antipode.

WHAT DOES IT DO IN A FORMULATION?
*Perfuming



BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF L-MENTHOL:
L-Menthol inhibite the binding of 13 ligands (calcium channels, sodium channels, γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor, GABA transporter, dopamine transporter, dopamine D4 receptor, adenosine A2a receptor, α2A-adrenergic receptor, histamine H2 receptor, bombesin receptor, angiotensin AT1 receptor, vasopressin V2 receptor, and leukotriene B4 receptor) with relatively high inhibition rates and acts on these ligands over a similar concentration range.

L-Menthol acts as a positive allosteric modulator of the GABAA receptor rather than an agonist.
In periaqueductal grey neurons in rat midbrain slices, L-Menthol was shown to prolong spontaneous GABAA receptor–mediated inhibitory current, most likely via a mechanism distinct from that of benzodiazepines.

L-Menthol acts on the dopamine D4 receptor and the dopamine transporter.
L-Menthol inhibits the [3H]-WIN35,428 binding, similar to GBR12909, suggesting that l-menthol inhibits the binding of dopamine to the dopamine transporter and leading to decreased dopamine uptake.

Product Type Dispersing Agents > Surfactants-like > Sodium Polyacrylates / Polyacrylic Acids Chemical Composition Sodium polyacrylate-based CAS Number 9003-04-7 Physical Form Liquid Appearance Amber Product Status COMMERCIAL Applications/ Recommended for Coatings > Waterborne Resins > Silicates Lopon 800, also known as waterlock, is a sodium salt of polyacrylic acid with the chemical formula [−CH2−CH(CO2Na)−]n and has broad applications in consumer products.[1] This super-absorbent polymer (SAP) has the ability to absorb 100 to 1000 times its mass in water. Lopon 800 is an anionic polyelectrolyte with negatively charged carboxylic groups in the main chain. Lopon 800 is a chemical polymer made up of chains of acrylate compounds. It contains sodium, which gives it the ability to absorb large amounts of water. Lopon 800 is also classified as an anionic polyelectrolyte.[2] When dissolved in water, it forms a thick and transparent solution due to the ionic interactions of the molecules. Lopon 800 has many favorable mechanical properties. Some of these advantages include good mechanical stability, high heat resistance, and strong hydration. It has been used as an additive for food products including bread, juice, and ice cream. While sodium neutralized polyacrylic acids are the most common form used in industry, there are also other salts available including potassium, lithium and ammonium.[3] The origins of super-absorbent polymer chemistry trace back to the early 1960s when the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) developed the first super-absorbent polymer materials.

These materials can only retain 20 times their weight in water, whereas Lopon 800 can retain hundreds of times its own weight in water. The USDA was interested in developing this technology because they wanted to find materials that could improve water conservation in soil. Through extensive research, they found that the gels they created did not expel water as fiber-based materials would. Early adopters of this technology were Dow Chemical, Hercules, General Mills Chemical, and DuPont. Ultra-thin baby diapers were some of the first hygiene products to be developed which uses only a fraction of the material compared to fluff pulp diapers. Super-absorbent technology is in high demand in the disposable hygiene industry for products like diapers and sanitary napkins. SAPs used in hygiene products are typically sodium neutralized whereas SAPs used in agricultural applications are potassium neutralized. Fabrication Methods Overview Methods to fabricate Lopon 800, like solution polymerization in water, inverse emulsion polymerization, inverse suspension polymerization, plasma polymerization, and pressure-induced polymerization have been employed to synthesize various polyacrylates.[4] However, the process to obtain a solid-state product using these methods requires a lot of equipment and is very expensive. The products obtained from these methods also have defects like poor solubility and broad molecular weight distribution. Despite having drawbacks, the polymerization methods aforementioned are often used to form Lopon 800 and other SAPs. Another method tested in a study to produce Lopon 800 as an alternative to current methods began with Butyl acrylate-acrylic acid copolymer and poly (butyl acrylate).[4] They were synthesized via suspension polymerization by using butyl acrylate as the main monomer and acrylic acid as a secondary monomer. Suspension polymerization uses physical and mechanical movement and agitation in order to mix monomers to form polymers. This process requires dispersing medium, monomers, stabilizing agents, and initiators. Next, the polymers were swollen in ethanol and hydrolyzed in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. Finally, water-soluble Lopon 800s were obtained by washing and drying the hydrolyzed resultant. This is a different method compared to the manufacturing processes that have been previously utilized, but could be a potential method to specifically manufacture Lopon 800. Overall, the various production methods of Lopon 800 will influence its swelling capability, absorbency, and other mechanical properties. It is also important to consider cost and feasibility when manufacturing polymers like Lopon 800. Super-absorbent Nanofibers (SANs) Lopon 800 Super-absorbent polymers are an innovative class of hydrogel products that can be used in many applications including hygiene products, drug delivery systems, agriculture, biomedicine, and wastewater treatment.[6] A method called electrospinning is used to fabricate super-absorbent nanofibers (SANs) because of their advantageous properties like high surface area and porous structure. Electrospinning is a simple method that uses an electric field that collects filaments by forcing polymer melts or solutions. SANs have been successfully created by using Lopon 800 and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a polymer matrix, which is a water soluble polymer that is highly hydrophilic. As a result of this method of fabrication, SANs created in a study displayed high rates of absorption due to the capillary phenomenon shown by their highly porous structures. Also, the cross-linking structure improved the water absorption ability of the SANs. Adding PVA in this case gave structural stability to the SAN and prevented it from being dissolved in water. Overall, Lopon 800 can be combined with PVA in a nanofiber to produce a strong and effective structure. Composites Clay-Polymer Hydrogels Studies have been conducted which observe the effect of the mechanical properties of hydrogels based on the amount of clay combined with the polymer.[7] When combining polymers with clay, the results are promising, showing an increase in the elastic modulus and the tensile strength of clay-polymer hydrogels. In general, combining inorganic substances with polymers can improve the electrical, mechanical, thermal, and gas barrier properties of materials like hydrogels. In order to obtain these results, ultra-high molecular mass polymers higher than a few millions are recommended to be used so that the mechanical properties can improve regardless of the type of polymer used. The mechanical properties for clay-polymer hydrogels have been studied including clay and polyethylene oxide (PEO) as well as clay and Lopon 800 (PAAS).[7] A study compared laponite/PEO and laponite/PAAS blend hydrogels. Laponite is a synthetic clay that has the ability to swell when placed in water. The results showed that both hydrogels have a similar elastic modulus. However, the tensile strength of laponite/PAAS is much stronger than laponite/PEO blend hydrogels. The reason for this difference is based on the clay-polymer interaction strength in each hydrogel blend. In laponite/PAAS, the interaction is much stronger compared to the laponite/PEO blend. Metal Ions Experiments and studies have shown that the incorporation of 0.3 wt% Lopon 800 in collagen (Co) fibers can improve the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the composite films.[2] Lopon 800 can form films and composites with different cationic polymers, proteins, and other substances which can benefit the properties of the film. Furthermore, Lopon 800 has the potential to combine with metal ions because of its characteristic polyanionic property which would allow for more reinforcing of the material. When collagen and Lopon 800 (Co-PAAS) blend films were combined with Ca2+, Fe3+, and Ag+ ranging from 0.001 to 0.004 mol/g, the surface of the composites became coarser and the internal structure became more stratified as more metal ions were added. When the ions were added, tensile strength increased. The optimal amounts for each ion are as follows: Ca2+ (0.003 mol/g), Fe3+ (0.002 mol/g), and Ag+ (0.001 mol/g). The composite films also had better thermal stability. Overall, the study showed that metal ions added to Co-PAAS blend composite films can be used as an alternative to reinforce collagenous composite materials.[2] These three ions were combined with the Co-PAAS film because of their relevant biological applications. Ca2+ is one of the major elements in animal tissues including bone and teeth and has a strong interaction with collagen. Next, Fe3+ is an important trace element in the human body and participates in protein chelation. Finally, Ag+ has antibacterial properties and can improve the stability and transparency of the Co-PAAS film. Chitosan Lopon 800 is a commonly used electronegative polyelectrolyte which could be used to construct self-healing hydrogels and super-absorbents.[8] Novel chitosan/Lopon 800 polyelectrolyte complex hydrogels (CPG) have been fabricated successfully in a study by cross-linking chitosan and Lopon 800 with epichlorohydrin (ECH) through the inhibiting protonation effect of chitosan in an alkali/urea aqueous solution. The CPG had a high swelling ratio because of Lopon 800 and acted differently in various pH solutions, physiological solutions, and salt solutions with different concentrations. As a result, CPG had smart responsive properties to different situations and exhibited high compressive strength, good biocompatibility and in-vitro biodegradability. This fabrication process has shown success and has potential applications in the fields of agriculture, foods, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. Applications of Lopon 800 Overview Water-soluble polymers are used in many industries, especially polyacrylates.[4] Some applications include thickeners, flocculants, dispersants, and drag reducing agents. Polyacrylates are also used as environmentally friendly adhesives or coatings. In addition, Lopon 800 is used in paper diapers and Maximum Absorbency Garments as the absorbent material.[9] It is also used in ice packs to convert the water used as the cooling agent into a gel, in order to reduce spillage in case the ice pack leaks.[10][11] Lopon 800 has also been studied for utilization in many applications such as nanofiltration of water to absorb water and concentrate the liquid with microbes.[12] Also, it is used for eco-engineering as a water-retaining agent in rocky slopes for increasing moisture availability in the soil. This can improve the water retention availability of the soil and infiltration capacity in sandy soil. Below is a table containing categories and lists of some products and applications that utilize Lopon 800:[13] Lopon 800 Applications Overview Health Care Animals Industry Environment Other Products Paper/disposable diaper (baby, child, and adult) Sanitary napkin Nursing mat Medical bandage Wound dressings Pet pad Horse urine odor absorbing Drown-free water source for feeder insects Waste liquid control Drilling fluid Concrete protection Anti-flood Bag Excreta collection Wire and cable water blocking Artificial snow hot/cold gel pack Urine bag Growing toys Thickening agent Fragrance carrier Fire-retardant gel Anti-fogging packing material Waterbed Some of the items listed above will be discussed in further detail in the next application sections. However, it is important to note that the table provided above is not comprehensive and does not contain all of the possible or potential applications for using Lopon 800. Sequestering Agents Lopon 800 is commonly used in detergents as a chelating agent.[1] A chelating agent is used in detergents because it has the ability to neutralize heavy metals that can be found in dirt, water, and other substances that could be in clothes. The addition of Lopon 800 makes detergent more effective when cleaning clothes. Thickening Agents Since Lopon 800 can absorb and retain water molecules, it is used often in diapers, hair gels, and soaps.[1] Lopon 800 is considered a thickening agent because it increases the viscosity of water-based compounds. In diapers, Lopon 800 absorbs water found in urine in order to increase the capacity to store liquid and to reduce rashes. Coatings Lopon 800 can also be utilized as a coating for electrical wires in order to reduce the amount of moisture around wires.[1] Water and moisture near wires can cause issues with transmitting electrical signals. This could cause potential fire hazards. Due to the effective absorption and swelling capacity of Lopon 800, it can absorb water and prevent it from surrounding or infiltrating wires. Agriculture In the agricultural industry, Lopon 800 is used to help plants retain moisture in the soil.[1] It can act as a water reservoir for plants and is commonly used by florists to keep flowers fresh. Furthermore, the use of Lopon 800 for growing domestic fruit and vegetables has been approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. NASA Maximum Absorbency Garments (MAGs) Lopon 800 is used in the fabric of spacesuits designed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to prevent rashes from developing during flight by absorbing various liquids.[1][14] These garments are called Maximum Absorbency Garments or MAGs and Lopon 800 is used in the innermost layers of these spacesuits to aid in the absorption of liquid from the surface of the skin. Specifically, MAGs absorb liquid from urine and feces and can hold approximately 2 L of liquid. Environmental Applications Inhibition of Hydrogen Production from Waste-Diaper Material Although Lopon 800 has beneficial environmental applications, in one study, Lopon 800 was found to have inhibitory effects on the bioH2 fermentation of cellulosic wastes.[15] Lopon 800 is commonly used in diapers to absorb liquids from urine and feces, but Lopon 800 has been found that waste disposable diapers (WDD) accumulate in landfills since Lopon 800 prevents and negatively affects H2 production from the dark fermentation of WDD. To be specific, WDD represents 7% of urban solid refuse and the current option is landfilling, which is degradable only during biological conditions. Such conditions include anaerobic degradation and composting. Considering the high amounts of cellulosic waste in WDD, in order to be more sustainable it has been recommended that Lopon 800 be replaced with special starches that can absorb significant amounts of water yet are still degradable by dark fermentation (DF). Overall, despite having many beneficial environmental applications, the usage of Lopon 800 in diapers can prevent waste from degrading properly over time. Low Salt Animal Skin Preservation In the leather industry, salt-based preservation is typically used because it is versatile, cost-effective, and readily available.[12] However, the salt removed from the soaking process can cause pollution including elevated total dissolved solids (TDS). A study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of instead using a low-salt skin preservation method with Lopon 800 which has a reduced amount of NaCl. The main goal was to retain the properties of commercial leather while reducing pollution. The results showed that Lopon 800 with low salt levels had an adequate curing efficiency with a significant reduction (>65%) of TDS. Around 40% NaCl is used in conventional curing processes but the process conducted with Lopon 800 used 15% NaCl and 5% Lopon 800. Removal of Metal Ions from the Environment Studies have shown that Lopon 800 and other super-absorbent polymers or SAPs can be used to absorb and recover metal ions.[16] Heavy metals are very harmful pollutants and can have detrimental effects on aquatic environments and human beings because of high toxicity, bioaccumulation, and non-degradability. Activities like mining and petroleum refining can produce these heavy metals which necessitates a simple and environmentally sustainable process to absorb these harmful metals to prevent disastrous results. Lopon 800 can absorb solutions quickly by swelling porous structure networks to reduce mass-transfer resistance. Also, Lopon 800 is a low-cost, non-toxic, and biocompatible option for water purification to recover metal ions. A study demonstrated that a Lopon 800 composite had high adsorption and desorption efficiency, implying that Lopon 800 can be recycled and reused as an effective absorbent for Cu(II) recovery.[16] Lopon 800 is able to do this because of its function group (-COO-) in its matrix which contributes to its effective adsorption capacity. Lopon 800 has a very high adsorption capacity and one of the highest adsorption capacities for Lopon 800 was found with Cu(II) ions. Using a mild concentration of 0.01 M nitric acid, almost all of the copper could be recovered from the Lopon 800 matrix. The results of the study indicate the effectiveness of using Lopon 800 to rid the environment of toxic metals like copper. It is also a sustainable solution since Lopon 800 can be recycled and reused, therefore, reducing waste. Drug Delivery Applications Lopon 800 can be used for microencapsulation to deliver substances like probiotics.[17] The delivery of probiotics to the digestive system can be difficult because the viability of probiotics decreases sharply throughout the gastrointestinal tract due to strong acid conditions. Although Alginate (Alg) is the most extensively used native microcapsule matrix, combining Alg with Lopon 800 yields better results based on research comparing different encapsulation methods. Lopon 800 is an oral safe food additive approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has repeated carboxylate groups along its molecular chain. As a result, the acid buffering effect of Lopon 800 could be better than small molecular acid. Also, the binding capacity of Lopon 800 with calcium ions could be higher than Alg because of the high concentration of carboxylate groups and the increased flexible nature of the polymer chain. Lopon 800 has been found useful in drug delivery applications.[17] When Lopon 800 combined with alginate (Alg), Lopon 800 was able to successfully encapsulate Lactobacillus plantarum MA2 and allowed better probiotic delivery compared to an Alg microcapsule. This result is true for both the small and large intestine. This research has shown that Alg-PAAS(1:2) could be a potentially effective microcapsule matrix in probiotic drug delivery. This capsule enhanced the survival of the probiotic when traveling both in-vitro and in-vivo. Safety Lopon 800 itself does not irritate the skin.[18] Lopon 800 is made up of large polymers that do not have the ability to infiltrate the skin. However, sometimes Lopon 800 is mixed with acrylic acid which is leftover from the manufacturing process. As a leftover of producing Lopon 800, acrylic acid can cause a rash in contact with skin. It should be less than 300 PPM as the absorbent material in paper diapers. Also, if Lopon 800 is being used in a powder form it should not be inhaled. If spilled in an area with water, Lopon 800 could cause the ground to be very slippery. Finally, Lopon 800 can cause severe clogging if it enters sewers or drainage systems in large quantities. Otherwise, Lopon 800 is non-toxic and safe from any major risks. Lopon 800 Usage And Synthesis Description of Lopon 800 Lopon 800 is the sodium salt of polyarylic acid. As a chemical polymer, it has various kinds of application in consumer products. It is capable of absorbing extremely high amount of water which can reach up to as much as 200 to 300 times its mass; therefore, it is used in agriculture industry and is infused in the soil of many plants to maintain the moisture of plant. It can be commonly used as a sequestering agent, or chelating agent in many detergents. It can also be used as a thickening agent to be used in diapers and hair gels because of its high capability of absorbing and holding water. Furthermore, it can be included in the coatings of sensitive electrical wiring to remove moisture in the wires. Dispersant Lopon 800 is a commonly used dispersant, also known as 2-sodium acrylate homopolymer, S Lopon 800. It is colorless or light yellow viscous liquid in room temperature, and non-toxic, alkaline, insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone but easily soluble in water and aqueous sodium hydroxide. However, for aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, due to the increase of alkaline metal ions, Lopon 800 is first dissolved and then precipitated. Lopon 800 can work without entrustment under alkaline conditions or being concentrated for several folds with molecular weight of about 500-3000. Lopon 800 can disperse the microcrystalline or sediment of calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate salts into the water without precipitation, and thus achieving the purpose of preventing entrustment. Besides used as the descaling dispersant in power plants, chemical plants, fertilizer plants, refineries and air conditioning systems, cooling water system, it is also widely used in industries like paper and textile, ceramics, paints, building materials. When used as a paper coating dispersant, it has a relative molecular mass in 2000-4000. When Lopon 800 coating concentration is 65% to 70%, it can still have a good rheology and aging stability. The product in molecular weight from 1000 to 3000 is used as water quality stabilizer as well as scaling control agent of concentrated black liquor. Products with molecular weight higher than 100,000 is used as coatings thickener and water retention agent, which can increase the viscosity of synthetic emulsion such as carboxylated styrene-butadiene latex and acrylate emulsion latex and prevent the water from being separated out as well as maintain the stability of the coating system . Product of molecular weight of 1 million or more can be used as a flocculant. It can also be used as super absorbent polymer, soil conditioners, as well as a thickening agent and emulsion dispersant in the food industry. The molecular structure of Lopon 800 molecule is water soluble linear polymers. Small molecular weight molecule is as liquid with large molecule counterparts shown as solid. Solid product is shown as a white powder or granules, and is odorless, water-swellable, and soluble in aqueous caustic soda. Moreover, it is extremely hygroscopic. It is a polymer compound containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. Lopon 800 is slowly soluble in water and form a highly viscous transparent liquid whose 0.5% solution having a viscosity of about 1000cp with the viscosity being not as swelling as CMC and sodium alginate. But owing to the ion phenomenon of many anionic groups in the molecule makes the molecular chain being longer, increasing the apparent viscosity to form highly viscous solution. Lopon 800 has a viscosity which is 15-20 times as high as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and sodium alginate. It has a high alkali resistance with viscosity changing only little and it is also non-perishable. Heat treatment, neutral salts, and organic acids have very small effects on its viscosity. However, it has increased viscosity upon alkaline condition. Intense heating to 300 degrees will not cause decomposition of it. Due to its property as a kind of electrolyte, it is vulnerable to acids and metal ions which cause the decrease of viscosity. In case of more than a sufficient amount of divalent metal ions (e.g. aluminum, lead, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc), it will form insoluble salt which cause intermolecular crosslink and thus gelation and further precipitation. But it is still as solution upon a low amount of divalent metal ion, making it be able to be used as detergent additives which play a role in preventing soil re-deposition. Food grade Lopon 800 In abroad, it has begun to apply Lopon 800 for being used in a variety of food for thickening, gluten and preservation since 1960s.

LOXANOL OT 5843
Loxanol OT 5843 Loxanol OT 5843 (PEG; /ˌpɒliˈɛθəlˌiːn ˈɡlaɪˌkɒl, -ˌkɔːl/) is a polyether compound with many applications, from industrial manufacturing to medicine. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is also known as polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyoxyethylene (POE), depending on its molecular weight. The structure of Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is commonly expressed as H−(O−CH2−CH2)n−OH. Medical uses Main article: Macrogol Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is the basis of a number of laxatives.[4] Whole bowel irrigation with Loxanol OT 5843 and added electrolytes is used for bowel preparation before surgery or colonoscopy. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is also used as an excipient in many pharmaceutical products. When attached to various protein medications, Loxanol OT 5843 allows a slowed clearance of the carried protein from the blood. The possibility that Loxanol OT 5843 PEG could be used to fuse axons is being explored by researchers studying peripheral nerve and spinal cord injury.[4] Chemical uses of Loxanol OT 5843 The remains of the 16th century carrack Mary Rose undergoing conservation treatment with Loxanol OT 5843 PEG in the 1980s Terra cotta warrior, showing traces of original color. Because Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is a hydrophilic molecule, it has been used to passivate microscope glass slides for avoiding non-specific sticking of proteins in single-molecule fluorescence studies.[6] Loxanol OT 5843 has a low toxicity and is used in a variety of products.[7] The polymer is used as a lubricating coating for various surfaces in aqueous and non-aqueous environments.[8] Since Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is a flexible, water-soluble polymer, it can be used to create very high osmotic pressures (on the order of tens of atmospheres). It also is unlikely to have specific interactions with biological chemicals. These properties make Loxanol OT 5843 PEG one of the most useful molecules for applying osmotic pressure in biochemistry and biomembranes experiments, in particular when using the osmotic stress technique. Loxanol OT 5843 is also commonly used as a polar stationary phase for gas chromatography, as well as a heat transfer fluid in electronic testers. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG has also been used to preserve objects that have been salvaged from underwater, as was the case with the warship Vasa in Stockholm,[9] and similar cases. It replaces water in wooden objects, making the wood dimensionally stable and preventing warping or shrinking of the wood when it dries.[4] In addition, Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is used when working with green wood as a stabilizer, and to prevent shrinkage.[10] Loxanol OT 5843 PEG has been used to preserve the painted colors on Terracotta Warriors unearthed at a UNESCO World Heritage site in China.[11] These painted artifacts were created during the Qin Shi Huang (first emperor of China) era. Within 15 seconds of the terra-cotta pieces being unearthed during excavations, the lacquer beneath the paint begins to curl after being exposed to the dry Xi'an air. The paint would subsequently flake off in about four minutes. The German Bavarian State Conservation Office developed a Loxanol OT 5843 PEG preservative that when immediately applied to unearthed artifacts has aided in preserving the colors painted on the pieces of clay soldiers.[12] Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is often used (as an internal calibration compound) in mass spectrometry experiments, with its characteristic fragmentation pattern allowing accurate and reproducible tuning. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG derivatives, such as narrow range ethoxylates, are used as surfactants. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG has been used as the hydrophilic block of amphiphilic block copolymers used to create some polymersomes. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG has also been used as a propellent on the UGM-133M Trident II Missile, in service with the United States Air Force.[14] Biological uses of Loxanol OT 5843 Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is commonly used as a crowding agent in in vitro assays to mimic highly crowded cellular conditions.[6] Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is commonly used as a precipitant for plasmid DNA isolation and protein crystallization. X-ray diffraction of protein crystals can reveal the atomic structure of the proteins. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is used to fuse two different types of cells, most often B-cells and myelomas in order to create hybridomas. César Milstein and Georges J. F. Köhler originated this technique, which they used for antibody production, winning a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1984.[4] Polymer segments derived from PEG polyols impart flexibility to polyurethanes for applications such as elastomeric fibers (spandex) and foam cushions. In microbiology, Loxanol OT 5843 PEG precipitation is used to concentrate viruses. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is also used to induce complete fusion (mixing of both inner and outer leaflets) in liposomes reconstituted in vitro. Gene therapy vectors (such as viruses) can be Loxanol OT 5843 PEG-coated to shield them from inactivation by the immune system and to de-target them from organs where they may build up and have a toxic effect.[15] The size of the Loxanol OT 5843 PEG polymer has been shown to be important, with larger polymers achieving the best immune protection. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is a component of stable nucleic acid lipid particles (SNALPs) used to package siRNA for use in vivo.[16][17] In blood banking, Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is used as a potentiator to enhance detection of antigens and antibodies.[4][18] When working with phenol in a laboratory situation, Loxanol OT 5843 PEG 300 can be used on phenol skin burns to deactivate any residual phenol (some references are required). In biophysics, Loxanol OT 5843 are the molecules of choice for the functioning ion channels diameter studies, because in aqueous solutions they have a spherical shape and can block ion channel conductance.[19][20] Commercial uses of Loxanol OT 5843 Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is the basis of many skin creams (as cetomacrogol) and personal lubricants (frequently combined with glycerin). Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is used in a number of toothpastes[4] as a dispersant. In this application, it binds water and helps keep xanthan gum uniformly distributed throughout the toothpaste. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is also under investigation for use in body armor, and in tattoos to monitor diabetes.[21][22] In low-molecular-weight formulations (e.g. PEG 400), it is used in Hewlett-Packard designjet printers as an ink solvent and lubricant for the print heads. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is also used as an anti-foaming agent in food and drinks[23] – its INS number is 1521[24] or E1521 in the EU.[25] Industrial uses of Loxanol OT 5843 A nitrate ester-plasticized Loxanol OT 5843 (NEPE-75) is used in Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missile solid rocket fuel.[26] Dimethyl ethers of Loxanol OT 5843 PEG are the key ingredient of Selexol, a solvent used by coal-burning, integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plants to remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from the gas waste stream. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG has been used as the gate insulator in an electric double-layer transistor to induce superconductivity in an insulator.[27] Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is also used as a polymer host for solid polymer electrolytes. Although not yet in commercial production, many groups around the globe are engaged in research on solid polymer electrolytes involving PEG, with the aim of improving their properties, and in permitting their use in batteries, electro-chromic display systems, and other products in the future. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is injected into industrial processes to reduce foaming in separation equipment. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is used as a binder in the preparation of technical ceramics.[28] Recreational uses of Loxanol OT 5843 Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is used to extend the size and durability of very large soap bubbles. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is the main ingredient in many personal lubricants. Health effects of Loxanol OT 5843 Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is considered biologically inert and safe by the FDA. However, a growing body of evidence shows the existence of anti Loxanol OT 5843 PEG antibodies in approximately 72% of the population based on plasma samples from 1990–1999.[medical citation needed] The FDA has been asked to investigate the possible effects of Loxanol OT 5843 PEG in laxatives for children.[29] Due to its ubiquity in a multitude of products and the large percentage of the population with antibodies to Loxanol OT 5843 PEG, hypersensitive reactions to Loxanol OT 5843 PEG are an increasing concern.[medical citation needed] Allergy to Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is usually discovered after a person has been diagnosed with an allergy to an increasing number of seemingly unrelated products, including processed foods, cosmetics, drugs, and other substances that contain Loxanol OT 5843 PEG or were manufactured with Loxanol OT 5843 PEG. When Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is chemically attached to therapeutic molecules (such as protein drugs or nanoparticles), it can sometimes be antigenic, stimulating an anti-PEG antibody response in some patients. This effect has only been shown for a few of the many available PEGylated therapeutics, but it has significant effects on clinical outcomes of affected patients.[31] Other than these few instances where patients have anti-PEG immune responses, it is generally considered to be a safe component of drug formulations. Available forms and nomenclature of Loxanol OT 5843 Loxanol OT 5843 PEG, PEO, and POE refer to an oligomer or polymer of ethylene oxide. The three names are chemically synonymous, but historically Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is preferred in the biomedical field, whereas PEO is more prevalent in the field of polymer chemistry. Because different applications require different polymer chain lengths, Loxanol OT 5843 PEG has tended to refer to oligomers and polymers with a molecular mass below 20,000 g/mol, PEO to polymers with a molecular mass above 20,000 g/mol, and POE to a polymer of any molecular mass.[32] Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs are prepared by polymerization of ethylene oxide and are commercially available over a wide range of molecular weights from 300 g/mol to 10,000,000 g/mol.[33] Loxanol OT 5843 PEG and PEO are liquids or low-melting solids, depending on their molecular weights. While Loxanol OT 5843 PEG and PEO with different molecular weights find use in different applications, and have different physical properties (e.g. viscosity) due to chain length effects, their chemical properties are nearly identical. Different forms of Loxanol OT 5843 PEG are also available, depending on the initiator used for the polymerization process – the most common initiator is a monofunctional methyl ether Loxanol OT 5843 PEG, or methoxypoly(ethylene glycol), abbreviated mPEG. Lower-molecular-weight Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs are also available as purer oligomers, referred to as monodisperse, uniform, or discrete. Very high purity Loxanol OT 5843 PEG has recently been shown to be crystalline, allowing determination of a crystal structure by x-ray diffraction.[33] Since purification and separation of pure oligomers is difficult, the price for this type of quality is often 10–1000 fold that of polydisperse Loxanol OT 5843 PEG. Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs are also available with different geometries. Branched Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs have three to ten Loxanol OT 5843 PEG chains emanating from a central core group. Star Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs have 10 to 100 Loxanol OT 5843 PEG chains emanating from a central core group. Comb Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs have multiple Loxanol OT 5843 PEG chains normally grafted onto a polymer backbone. The numbers that are often included in the names of Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs indicate their average molecular weights (e.g. a PEG with n = 9 would have an average molecular weight of approximately 400 daltons, and would be labeled PEG 400.) Most Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs include molecules with a distribution of molecular weights (i.e. they are polydisperse). The size distribution can be characterized statistically by its weight average molecular weight (Mw) and its number average molecular weight (Mn), the ratio of which is called the polydispersity index (Mw/Mn). Mw and Mn can be measured by mass spectrometry. PEGylation is the act of covalently coupling a Loxanol OT 5843 PEG structure to another larger molecule, for example, a therapeutic protein, which is then referred to as a PEGylated protein. Loxanol OT 5843 PEGylated interferon alfa-2a or −2b are commonly used injectable treatments for hepatitis C infection. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, benzene, and dichloromethane, and is insoluble in diethyl ether and hexane. It is coupled to hydrophobic molecules to produce non-ionic surfactants. Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs potentially contain toxic impurities, such as ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane.[35] Ethylene Glycol and its ethers are nephrotoxic if applied to damaged skin. Polyethylene oxide (PEO, Mw 4 kDa) nanometric crystallites (4 nm) Loxanol OT 5843 Loxanol OT 5843 and related polymers (PEG phospholipid constructs) are often sonicated when used in biomedical applications. However, as reported by Murali et al., Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is very sensitive to sonolytic degradation and Loxanol OT 5843 PEG degradation products can be toxic to mammalian cells. It is, thus, imperative to assess potential Loxanol OT 5843 PEG degradation to ensure that the final material does not contain undocumented contaminants that can introduce artifacts into experimental results. Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs and methoxypolyethylene glycols are manufactured by Dow Chemical under the tradename Carbowax for industrial use, and Carbowax Sentry for food and pharmaceutical use. They vary in consistency from liquid to solid, depending on the molecular weight, as indicated by a number following the name. They are used commercially in numerous applications, including as surfactants, in foods, in cosmetics, in pharmaceutics, in biomedicine, as dispersing agents, as solvents, in ointments, in suppository bases, as tablet excipients, and as laxatives. Some specific groups are lauromacrogols, nonoxynols, octoxynols, and poloxamers. Macrogol, used as a laxative, is a form of Loxanol OT 5843. The name may be followed by a number which represents the average molecular weight (e.g. macrogol 3350, macrogol 4000 or macrogol 6000). Production of Loxanol OT 5843 Loxanol OT 5843 400, pharmaceutical quality Loxanol OT 5843 4000, pharmaceutical quality The production of Loxanol OT 5843 was first reported in 1859. Both A. V. Lourenço and Charles Adolphe Wurtz independently isolated products that were Loxanol OT 5843.[38] Loxanol OT 5843 is produced by the interaction of ethylene oxide with water, ethylene glycol, or ethylene glycol oligomers.[39] The reaction is catalyzed by acidic or basic catalysts. Ethylene glycol and its oligomers are preferable as a starting material instead of water, because they allow the creation of polymers with a low polydispersity (narrow molecular weight distribution). Polymer chain length depends on the ratio of reactants. HOCH2CH2OH + n(CH2CH2O) → HO(CH2CH2O)n+1H Depending on the catalyst type, the mechanism of polymerization can be cationic or anionic. The anionic mechanism is preferable because it allows one to obtain Loxanol OT 5843 PEG with a low polydispersity. Polymerization of ethylene oxide is an exothermic process. Overheating or contaminating ethylene oxide with catalysts such as alkalis or metal oxides can lead to runaway polymerization, which can end in an explosion after a few hours. Polyethylene oxide, or high-molecular weight Loxanol OT 5843, is synthesized by suspension polymerization. It is necessary to hold the growing polymer chain in solution in the course of the polycondensation process. The reaction is catalyzed by magnesium-, aluminium-, or calcium-organoelement compounds. To prevent coagulation of polymer chains from solution, chelating additives such as dimethylglyoxime are used. Alkaline catalysts such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), or sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) are used to prepare low-molecular-weight Loxanol OT 5843. What is Loxanol OT 5843? Loxanol OT 5843 Poly(ethylene glycol) is a synthetic, hydrophilic, biocompatible polymer with widespread use in biomedical and other applications. PEGs are synthesized using a ring-opening polymerization of ethylene oxide to produce a broad range of molecular weights and molecular weight distributions (polydispersity); however, discrete Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs are synthesized with a single, specific molecular weight. Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs can be synthesized in linear, branched, Y-shaped, or multi-arm geometries. Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs can be activated by the replacement of the terminal hydroxyl end group with a variety of reactive functional end groups enabling crosslinking and conjugation chemistries. How is Loxanol OT 5843 used? Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs are non-toxic, FDA-approved, generally nonimmunogenic, and are frequently used in many biomedical applications including bioconjugation,1 drug delivery,2,3 surface functionalization,4 and tissue engineering.5 Bioconjugation with PEG (also known as PEGylation) is the covalent conjugation of drug targets such as peptides, proteins, or oligonucleotides with Loxanol OT 5843 for the optimization of pharmacokinetic properties.6 In drug delivery, Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs can be used as linkers for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)7 or as a surface coating on nanoparticles to improve systemic drug delivery.6 Loxanol OT 5843 PEG hydrogels are water-swollen, three-dimensional, polymer networks resistant to protein adhesion and biodegradation. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG hydrogels are produced by crosslinking reactive Loxanol OT 5843 PEG end groups and are commonly used in tissue engineering and drug delivery. Loxanol OT 5843, polypropylene glycols (PPGs), and polytetramethylene glycol come under the class of polyethers and are used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, lubricants, inks, and surfactants. Flavobacterium sp. and Pseudomonas sp. together associate and mineralize Loxanol OT 5843 PEG completely under aerobic conditions. During degradation, Loxanol OT 5843 PEG molecules are reduced one glycol unit at a time after each oxidation cycle. Pelobacter venetianus was found to degrade Loxanol OT 5843 PEG and ethylene glycol under anaerobic conditions (Kawai, 1987). High molecular weight Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs (4,000 to 20,000) were degraded by Sphingomonas macrogoltabidus and S. terrae, while PPG was degraded by Corynebacterium sp. Loxanol OT 5843 is required for efficient transformation of both Saccha-romyces cerevisiae (Rech et al.. 1990) and Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Hood and Stachow, 1990, 1991). Earlier, Shillito et al., (1985) also found that Loxanol OT 5843 PEG can enhance the efficiency of gene transfer to plants. The effects of Loxanol OT 5843 PEG on transformation are complex. Hood and Stachow (1991) show that the addition of PEG not only extends the length of time the electroporated cells remain permeable but further increases their permeability. During incubation with Loxanol OT 5843 PEG, the pores created during electroporation also apparently grow in size. The combined effect of Loxanol OT 5843 PEG on the size of the pores and their lifetime may enhance the uptake of DNA and thus result in the observed sixfold improvement in transformation efficiency. A level of 30% PEG gives optimal levels of transformants per microgram of DNA. Heat shock, a nonelectrical method of transformation, also uses Loxanol OT 5843 PEG, but by another mechanism that probably facilitates DNA uptake without creating pores, and this may reflect a second mechanism occurring during electroporation. The PEG-coated fabrics gain not only absorbed and released heat, but also antibacterial properties.17,22 The PEG-treated fabric can inhibit the growth of gram-positive S. aureus and gram-negative E. coli and P. aeruginosa. The mechanism by which PEG-treated fabrics inhibit bacterial growth is being investigated by Vigo.17 It results from three factors. A slow release of formaldehyde from the DMDHEU cross-linking resin may have an antibacterial effect, as formaldehyde can be used as a disinfecting agent. The PEG may exhibit a form of surfactant behaviour, which also is known to reduce bacterial growth. A third explanation relates to the finish imparting thermal absorption and release properties. The temperature may reach beyond some microorganisms’ growth range, killing those species. A thermal active non-woven were produced by PEG-treated 100% polypropylene spun bonded-melt blown-spun bonded. The PEG-treated non-woven inhibited bacterial growth.21 The most probable effects that inhibit microbial growth may be attributable to the surfactant-like properties of the bond PEG, which disrupts cell membranes due to the dual hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics of the Loxanol OT 5843 PEG. This was reported in Vigo and Leonas’s recent work. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG or polyethylene oxide (PEO) has gained wide recognition as a biomaterial because of its high efficiency in resisting protein adsorption, weak immunogenicity, and good compatibility with living cells. Due to lack of mechanical properties, Loxanol OT 5843 PEG or PEO materials are generally attached to the surface of a material possessing suitable mechanical properties, such as a polyurethane. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments have shown that PEG-grafted surfaces have great potential for clinical applications in medical devices and implants.31,32 PEG-grafted polyurethanes have been shown to be effective for prevention of bacterial adhesion and subsequent infection,25 and also have exhibited significant reduction of platelet adhesion33,34 and heparin-like anticoagulant activity. Grafting Loxanol OT 5843 PEG onto polyurethane surfaces is generally performed by a two-step reaction that covalently binds PEG onto the urethane group through an allophanate linkage (Figure 9.2).36 Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) is added to react with urethane bonds at the surface in the first step to functionalize the surface with isocyanate groups, and then the free isocyanate groups are utilized to bind PEG onto surfaces. The catalyst, such as trimethylamine,36,37 di-n-butyl tin dilaurate,25,38,39 stannous octoate,40 and stannous 2-ethylhexanoate,41 is necessary in allophanate reactions under lower reaction temperatures in the range of 40–60 °C where diisocyanate is used for activating the polyurethane surface, otherwise formation of allophanates from urethane and isocyanate groups generally does not occur below 100 °C. Such a reaction is relatively slow and easily controlled. After 60 min a maximum number of free NCO groups can be obtained and react with functional groups (e.g., single bondOH, single bondNH2, single bondSO3) in Loxanol OT 5843 PEG in the second step to graft the polymer onto the surface and obtain the different surface chemistries.25,36,39 Grafting PEG onto a polyurethane surface can also be performed by other techniques. Desai et al.42 used the surface physical interpenetrating networks technique to incorporate PEO and other water-soluble polymers into the surfaces of polyurethane and found PEO with a molecular weight of 18,500 g/mol having an optimal chain length to reduce protein adsorption and prevent protein-mediated biological interactions. Orban et al.43 reported a simple synthesis of PEG-grafted polyurethanes with the PEG grafts emanating from a secondary amine incorporated into the backbone of the polyurethane, and N-Boc-diethanolamine was used as chain extender. PEGs with different molecular weights were grafted onto the Boc-deprotected polyurethanes via chloroformate and the obtained grafted polymers exhibited very little platelet adhesion, although no data were reported about bacterial adhesion inhibition. The other type of PEG or PEO-modified polyurethane can be obtained by blending. Park et al.44 prepared PEO-based multiblock copolymer/segmented polyurethane blends as coating materials for urinary catheters. To prepare this coating material, a copolymer containing hydrophilic PEO and hydrophobic poly(polytetramethylene oxide) (PTMO) was first created by a polycondensation reaction in the presence of HMDI, and then the copolymer was blended with segmented polyurethane solution for coating on the urinary catheters. The copolymer additive increased the swellability of coating and adsorbed a significant amount of water. The bacterial adhesion study showed that there was an 85% decrease in adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis for blends compared to bare polyurethane. Polyethylene glycols Loxanol OT 5843 vary in molecular weight from ~200 to up to >1,000,000 Da. Their nature changes from liquids through semi-crystalline materials to resinous solids. Their general structure is H-[-O-CH2-CH2]nOH. The structure of Loxanol OT 5843 PEGs has been comprehensively reviewed by Craig [105] and clearly IR, Raman and NMR studies are fundamental to elucidating their structure. Thermal analysis does, however, play roles in examining the crystallinity and types of crystals present in the crystalline and semi-crystalline material. Undoubtedly, in the crystal lattice, PEGs are arranged as lamellae. The polymer chains exist as either extended or folded forms. The proportion of crystals in the folded or extended form is very much dependent on molecular weight. Buckley and Kovacs [113] showed that in PEG 6000 one- and two- folded crystals were apparent. In PEG 10000, one-, two-, three- and four-folded crystals were apparent. Thermal analysis, especially DSC may be used to resolve the structure. Scanning a sample of PEG, cooling and immediately rescanning, results in the production of unstable forms manifesting as a number of endotherm peaks or inflections on the DSC scan. Additionally on second scanning, the heats of fusion will be lower, indicative of an introduction of amorphousness, or less crystallinity, in the sample (Figure 23). For Loxanol OT 5843 PEG 4000, Kovacs and Buckley [113] found evidence for instability of the folded crystal form. As the scanning rate increased from 0.5°C min−1 to 8°C min−1, the melting endotherm for the unstable form increased since the lower rates allowed unfolding to occur during the heating process. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG-based hydrogels have been synthesised with degradable thioetherester links by mixing unsaturated PEG-acrylates with nucleophilic PEG-thiols. BSA was incorporated in the hydrogel prior to polymerisation, the cross-linking reaction being self-selective and therefore not involving the protein molecules. As the linkage is hydrolysed, the cross-linking density is reduced and release of albumin occurred. Release rates were modified by changing the degree of functionality of the PEG monomer. Zero-order release was obtained over a four-day period from the tetra-functional PEG-hydrogel. Degradable hydrogels were prepared by conjugate addition of PEG-multiacrylate to dithiothreitol in the presence of human growth hormone (hGH). It was necessary to precipitate hGH with linear Loxanol OT 5843 PEG or Zn2+ in order to protect the hormone during the polymerisation process. Precipitation of the hormone with Zn2+ also increased the stability in the hydrogel and delayed release by slowing the dissolution of the agent. Release was controlled by changing the MW and degree of functionality of the Loxanol OT 5843 PEG acrylate. Zero-order release kinetics were achieved in vitro (van de Wetering et al., 2005). Degradable hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels were synthesised by photopolymerisation of vinyl group modified HA in combination with a di-acryloyl PEG–poly(propylene glycol)–PEG tri-block copolymer (Pluronic) (Kim and Park, 2002). Pluronic copolymers are thermally responsive due to the formation of micelles at increased temperatures, and the hydrogel is therefore thermally responsive. The water uptake capacity continuously decreases with increasing temperature, indicating that the association of the Pluronic component occurs within the network and results in a reduction in water uptake capacity of the HA/Pluronic hydrogels. These hydrogels degrade due to the hydrolysis of an ester linkage present in the structural unit of the di-acryloyl Pluronic component. The erosion of the hydrogel occurrs much faster at higher temperatures; this is proposed to be due to the exposure of the ester linkage at higher temperatures, due to the micellisation of Pluronic. Release of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGh) was mainly dependent on the erosion of the hydrogel, and proceeded at a faster rate at 37°C than at 13°C. Aromatic azo bonds are cleaved in the colon by bacterial azoreductase. Therefore, cross-links composed of aromatic azo groups should degrade in this area of the gut. Hydrogels composed of hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate (HEMA) copolymerised with methacryloyloxy azobenzene were prepared (Shantha, 1995). The hydrogel was pH sensitive and did not swell in simulated gastric fluid (acidic), and drug release was minimal. Drug was released in simulated intestinal fluid in the absence and in the presence of azoreductase producing bacteria. The degree of swelling was higher and drug release increased compared to the acidic environment; however, without the bacteria present in the release media, drug release (5-FU) occurred from the surface only. In the presence of the enzyme, the cross-links were cleaved with a much greater rate of release. Zero-order release of 5-FU was achieved over a period of 4 hours from the degrading hydrogel. This hydrogel could therefore find an application in the oral delivery of sensitive drugs to the colon. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG has a vast number of applications in the medical industry, and the list continues to grow. Due to its non-toxicity and high solubility, it lends itself to many pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. To begin with, possibly the most common application of Loxanol OT 5843 PEG in the medical industry is its use in laxatives. Because PEG can apply osmotic pressure, it can draw water into the waste matter, providing a laxative effect. In a similar scenario, Loxanol OT 5843 PEG is often utilized during whole bowel irrigations to prepare the gastrointestinal tract for investigation or surgery. PEG is also used in many pharmaceutical creams, ointments, and medical solvents. Peptides, proteins, or oligonucleotides are used as drug targets for various illnesses. PEG can be used to bioconjugate itself to the target, by coupling itself with the target molecule to optimize the pharmacokinetic properties of drug treatment. PEG can be used as an inactive substance that acts as the vehicle for a drug. The process of drug delivery relies heavily on PEG because the compound can link together antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). It can also be used to improve systematic drug delivery by adding it as a surface coating on nanoparticles. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG can also be used to slow the clearance of coated proteins from the blood in biomedicines. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG hydrogels are also used in drug delivery, as well as in tissue engineering. PEG hydrogels are polymer networks that are created by crosslinking reactive PEG end groups, resulting in gels that are resistant to protein biodegradation and adhesion. These properties are beneficial to tissue engineering and drug delivery. Loxanol OT 5843 PEG has many roles in the chemical industry, which also cross over into applications in other industries. Firstly, it is well known for its use as a binding and dispersing agent, as it can improve the separation of particles and prevent clumping. Also, as Loxanol OT 5843 PEG has hydrophilic properties, it has found a role in preventing the non-specific sticking of proteins in studies using single-molecule fluorescence. Also, because the compound is non-toxic and recognized as safe by the FDA, it has been able to be used in numerous coatings that enable lubrication in various scenarios. Applications in preservation have also found a use for Loxanol OT 5843 PEG, which is now employed to prevent and slow the damage and shrinkage of wood that has been submerged. It was used to preserve the Vasa warship in Stockholm, replacing the water trapped within the wood to prevent warping and shrinking.

Health effects of Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG is considered biologically inert and safe by the FDA. However, a growing body of evidence shows the existence of anti Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG antibodies in approximately 72% of the population based on plasma samples from 1990–1999.[medical citation needed] The FDA has been asked to investigate the possible effects of Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG in laxatives for children.[29] Due to its ubiquity in a multitude of products and the large percentage of the population with antibodies to Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG, hypersensitive reactions to Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG are an increasing concern.[medical citation needed] Allergy to Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG is usually discovered after a person has been diagnosed with an allergy to an increasing number of seemingly unrelated products, including processed foods, cosmetics, drugs, and other substances that contain Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG or were manufactured with Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG. When Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG is chemically attached to therapeutic molecules (such as protein drugs or nanoparticles), it can sometimes be antigenic, stimulating an anti-PEG antibody response in some patients. This effect has only been shown for a few of the many available PEGylated therapeutics, but it has significant effects on clinical outcomes of affected patients.[31] Other than these few instances where patients have anti-PEG immune responses, it is generally considered to be a safe component of drug formulations. Available forms and nomenclature of Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG, PEO, and POE refer to an oligomer or polymer of ethylene oxide. The three names are chemically synonymous, but historically Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG is preferred in the biomedical field, whereas PEO is more prevalent in the field of polymer chemistry. Because different applications require different polymer chain lengths, Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG has tended to refer to oligomers and polymers with a molecular mass below 20,000 g/mol, PEO to polymers with a molecular mass above 20,000 g/mol, and POE to a polymer of any molecular mass.[32] Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs are prepared by polymerization of ethylene oxide and are commercially available over a wide range of molecular weights from 300 g/mol to 10,000,000 g/mol.[33] Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG and PEO are liquids or low-melting solids, depending on their molecular weights. While Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG and PEO with different molecular weights find use in different applications, and have different physical properties (e.g. viscosity) due to chain length effects, their chemical properties are nearly identical. Different forms of Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG are also available, depending on the initiator used for the polymerization process – the most common initiator is a monofunctional methyl ether Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG, or methoxypoly(ethylene glycol), abbreviated mPEG. Lower-molecular-weight Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs are also available as purer oligomers, referred to as monodisperse, uniform, or discrete. Very high purity Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG has recently been shown to be crystalline, allowing determination of a crystal structure by x-ray diffraction.[33] Since purification and separation of pure oligomers is difficult, the price for this type of quality is often 10–1000 fold that of polydisperse Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG. Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs are also available with different geometries. Branched Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs have three to ten Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG chains emanating from a central core group. Star Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs have 10 to 100 Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG chains emanating from a central core group. Comb Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs have multiple Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG chains normally grafted onto a polymer backbone. The numbers that are often included in the names of Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs indicate their average molecular weights (e.g. a PEG with n = 9 would have an average molecular weight of approximately 400 daltons, and would be labeled PEG 400.) Most Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs include molecules with a distribution of molecular weights (i.e. they are polydisperse). The size distribution can be characterized statistically by its weight average molecular weight (Mw) and its number average molecular weight (Mn), the ratio of which is called the polydispersity index (Mw/Mn). Mw and Mn can be measured by mass spectrometry. PEGylation is the act of covalently coupling a Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG structure to another larger molecule, for example, a therapeutic protein, which is then referred to as a PEGylated protein. Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGylated interferon alfa-2a or −2b are commonly used injectable treatments for hepatitis C infection. Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG is soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, benzene, and dichloromethane, and is insoluble in diethyl ether and hexane. It is coupled to hydrophobic molecules to produce non-ionic surfactants. Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs potentially contain toxic impurities, such as ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane.[35] Ethylene Glycol and its ethers are nephrotoxic if applied to damaged skin. Polyethylene oxide (PEO, Mw 4 kDa) nanometric crystallites (4 nm) Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) (PEG) and related polymers (PEG phospholipid constructs) are often sonicated when used in biomedical applications. However, as reported by Murali et al., Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG is very sensitive to sonolytic degradation and Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG degradation products can be toxic to mammalian cells. It is, thus, imperative to assess potential Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG degradation to ensure that the final material does not contain undocumented contaminants that can introduce artifacts into experimental results.[37] Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs and methoxypolyethylene glycols are manufactured by Dow Chemical under the tradename Carbowax for industrial use, and Carbowax Sentry for food and pharmaceutical use. They vary in consistency from liquid to solid, depending on the molecular weight, as indicated by a number following the name. They are used commercially in numerous applications, including as surfactants, in foods, in cosmetics, in pharmaceutics, in biomedicine, as dispersing agents, as solvents, in ointments, in suppository bases, as tablet excipients, and as laxatives. Some specific groups are lauromacrogols, nonoxynols, octoxynols, and poloxamers. Macrogol, used as a laxative, is a form of Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812). The name may be followed by a number which represents the average molecular weight (e.g. macrogol 3350, macrogol 4000 or macrogol 6000). Production of Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) 400, pharmaceutical quality Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) 4000, pharmaceutical quality The production of Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) was first reported in 1859. Both A. V. Lourenço and Charles Adolphe Wurtz independently isolated products that were Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812).[38] Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) is produced by the interaction of ethylene oxide with water, ethylene glycol, or ethylene glycol oligomers.[39] The reaction is catalyzed by acidic or basic catalysts. Ethylene glycol and its oligomers are preferable as a starting material instead of water, because they allow the creation of polymers with a low polydispersity (narrow molecular weight distribution). Polymer chain length depends on the ratio of reactants. HOCH2CH2OH + n(CH2CH2O) → HO(CH2CH2O)n+1H Depending on the catalyst type, the mechanism of polymerization can be cationic or anionic. The anionic mechanism is preferable because it allows one to obtain Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG with a low polydispersity. Polymerization of ethylene oxide is an exothermic process. Overheating or contaminating ethylene oxide with catalysts such as alkalis or metal oxides can lead to runaway polymerization, which can end in an explosion after a few hours. Polyethylene oxide, or high-molecular weight Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812), is synthesized by suspension polymerization. It is necessary to hold the growing polymer chain in solution in the course of the polycondensation process. The reaction is catalyzed by magnesium-, aluminium-, or calcium-organoelement compounds. To prevent coagulation of polymer chains from solution, chelating additives such as dimethylglyoxime are used. Alkaline catalysts such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), or sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) are used to prepare low-molecular-weight Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812). What is Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812)? Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) (PEG) Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is a synthetic, hydrophilic, biocompatible polymer with widespread use in biomedical and other applications. PEGs are synthesized using a ring-opening polymerization of ethylene oxide to produce a broad range of molecular weights and molecular weight distributions (polydispersity); however, discrete Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs are synthesized with a single, specific molecular weight. Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs can be synthesized in linear, branched, Y-shaped, or multi-arm geometries. Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs can be activated by the replacement of the terminal hydroxyl end group with a variety of reactive functional end groups enabling crosslinking and conjugation chemistries. How is Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) used? Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs are non-toxic, FDA-approved, generally nonimmunogenic, and are frequently used in many biomedical applications including bioconjugation,1 drug delivery,2,3 surface functionalization,4 and tissue engineering.5 Bioconjugation with PEG (also known as PEGylation) is the covalent conjugation of drug targets such as peptides, proteins, or oligonucleotides with Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) for the optimization of pharmacokinetic properties.6 In drug delivery, Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs can be used as linkers for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)7 or as a surface coating on nanoparticles to improve systemic drug delivery.6 Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG hydrogels are water-swollen, three-dimensional, polymer networks resistant to protein adhesion and biodegradation. Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG hydrogels are produced by crosslinking reactive Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG end groups and are commonly used in tissue engineering and drug delivery. Polyethers (PE) Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) (PEGs), polypropylene glycols (PPGs), and polytetramethylene glycol come under the class of polyethers and are used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, lubricants, inks, and surfactants. Flavobacterium sp. and Pseudomonas sp. together associate and mineralize Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG completely under aerobic conditions. During degradation, Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG molecules are reduced one glycol unit at a time after each oxidation cycle. Pelobacter venetianus was found to degrade Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG and ethylene glycol under anaerobic conditions (Kawai, 1987). High molecular weight Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs (4,000 to 20,000) were degraded by Sphingomonas macrogoltabidus and S. terrae, while PPG was degraded by Corynebacterium sp. Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) (PEG) is required for efficient transformation of both Saccha-romyces cerevisiae (Rech et al.. 1990) and Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Hood and Stachow, 1990, 1991). Earlier, Shillito et al., (1985) also found that Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG can enhance the efficiency of gene transfer to plants. The effects of Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG on transformation are complex. Hood and Stachow (1991) show that the addition of PEG not only extends the length of time the electroporated cells remain permeable but further increases their permeability. During incubation with Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG, the pores created during electroporation also apparently grow in size. The combined effect of Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG on the size of the pores and their lifetime may enhance the uptake of DNA and thus result in the observed sixfold improvement in transformation efficiency. A level of 30% PEG gives optimal levels of transformants per microgram of DNA. Heat shock, a nonelectrical method of transformation, also uses Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG, but by another mechanism that probably facilitates DNA uptake without creating pores, and this may reflect a second mechanism occurring during electroporation. The PEG-coated fabrics gain not only absorbed and released heat, but also antibacterial properties.17,22 The PEG-treated fabric can inhibit the growth of gram-positive S. aureus and gram-negative E. coli and P. aeruginosa. The mechanism by which PEG-treated fabrics inhibit bacterial growth is being investigated by Vigo.17 It results from three factors. A slow release of formaldehyde from the DMDHEU cross-linking resin may have an antibacterial effect, as formaldehyde can be used as a disinfecting agent. The PEG may exhibit a form of surfactant behaviour, which also is known to reduce bacterial growth. A third explanation relates to the finish imparting thermal absorption and release properties. The temperature may reach beyond some microorganisms’ growth range, killing those species. A thermal active non-woven were produced by PEG-treated 100% polypropylene spun bonded-melt blown-spun bonded. The PEG-treated non-woven inhibited bacterial growth.21 The most probable effects that inhibit microbial growth may be attributable to the surfactant-like properties of the bond PEG, which disrupts cell membranes due to the dual hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics of the Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG. This was reported in Vigo and Leonas’s recent work. Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG or polyethylene oxide (PEO) has gained wide recognition as a biomaterial because of its high efficiency in resisting protein adsorption, weak immunogenicity, and good compatibility with living cells. Due to lack of mechanical properties, Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG or PEO materials are generally attached to the surface of a material possessing suitable mechanical properties, such as a polyurethane. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments have shown that PEG-grafted surfaces have great potential for clinical applications in medical devices and implants.31,32 PEG-grafted polyurethanes have been shown to be effective for prevention of bacterial adhesion and subsequent infection,25 and also have exhibited significant reduction of platelet adhesion33,34 and heparin-like anticoagulant activity.35 Grafting Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG onto polyurethane surfaces is generally performed by a two-step reaction that covalently binds PEG onto the urethane group through an allophanate linkage (Figure 9.2).36 Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) is added to react with urethane bonds at the surface in the first step to functionalize the surface with isocyanate groups, and then the free isocyanate groups are utilized to bind PEG onto surfaces. The catalyst, such as trimethylamine,36,37 di-n-butyl tin dilaurate,25,38,39 stannous octoate,40 and stannous 2-ethylhexanoate,41 is necessary in allophanate reactions under lower reaction temperatures in the range of 40–60 °C where diisocyanate is used for activating the polyurethane surface, otherwise formation of allophanates from urethane and isocyanate groups generally does not occur below 100 °C. Such a reaction is relatively slow and easily controlled. After 60 min a maximum number of free NCO groups can be obtained and react with functional groups (e.g., single bondOH, single bondNH2, single bondSO3) in Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG in the second step to graft the polymer onto the surface and obtain the different surface chemistries.25,36,39 Grafting PEG onto a polyurethane surface can also be performed by other techniques. Desai et al.42 used the surface physical interpenetrating networks technique to incorporate PEO and other water-soluble polymers into the surfaces of polyurethane and found PEO with a molecular weight of 18,500 g/mol having an optimal chain length to reduce protein adsorption and prevent protein-mediated biological interactions. Orban et al.43 reported a simple synthesis of PEG-grafted polyurethanes with the PEG grafts emanating from a secondary amine incorporated into the backbone of the polyurethane, and N-Boc-diethanolamine was used as chain extender. PEGs with different molecular weights were grafted onto the Boc-deprotected polyurethanes via chloroformate and the obtained grafted polymers exhibited very little platelet adhesion, although no data were reported about bacterial adhesion inhibition. The other type of PEG or PEO-modified polyurethane can be obtained by blending. Park et al.44 prepared PEO-based multiblock copolymer/segmented polyurethane blends as coating materials for urinary catheters. To prepare this coating material, a copolymer containing hydrophilic PEO and hydrophobic poly(polytetramethylene oxide) (PTMO) was first created by a polycondensation reaction in the presence of HMDI, and then the copolymer was blended with segmented polyurethane solution for coating on the urinary catheters. The copolymer additive increased the swellability of coating and adsorbed a significant amount of water. The bacterial adhesion study showed that there was an 85% decrease in adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis for blends compared to bare polyurethane. Polyethylene glycols Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) vary in molecular weight from ~200 to up to >1,000,000 Da. Their nature changes from liquids through semi-crystalline materials to resinous solids. Their general structure is H-[-O-CH2-CH2]nOH. The structure of Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEGs has been comprehensively reviewed by Craig [105] and clearly IR, Raman and NMR studies are fundamental to elucidating their structure. Thermal analysis does, however, play roles in examining the crystallinity and types of crystals present in the crystalline and semi-crystalline material. Undoubtedly, in the crystal lattice, PEGs are arranged as lamellae. The polymer chains exist as either extended or folded forms. The proportion of crystals in the folded or extended form is very much dependent on molecular weight. Buckley and Kovacs [113] showed that in PEG 6000 one- and two- folded crystals were apparent. In PEG 10000, one-, two-, three- and four-folded crystals were apparent. Thermal analysis, especially DSC may be used to resolve the structure. Scanning a sample of PEG, cooling and immediately rescanning, results in the production of unstable forms manifesting as a number of endotherm peaks or inflections on the DSC scan. Additionally on second scanning, the heats of fusion will be lower, indicative of an introduction of amorphousness, or less crystallinity, in the sample (Figure 23). For Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG 4000, Kovacs and Buckley [113] found evidence for instability of the folded crystal form. As the scanning rate increased from 0.5°C min−1 to 8°C min−1, the melting endotherm for the unstable form increased since the lower rates allowed unfolding to occur during the heating process. Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG-based hydrogels have been synthesised with degradable thioetherester links by mixing unsaturated PEG-acrylates with nucleophilic PEG-thiols. BSA was incorporated in the hydrogel prior to polymerisation, the cross-linking reaction being self-selective and therefore not involving the protein molecules. As the linkage is hydrolysed, the cross-linking density is reduced and release of albumin occurred. Release rates were modified by changing the degree of functionality of the PEG monomer. Zero-order release was obtained over a four-day period from the tetra-functional PEG-hydrogel. Degradable hydrogels were prepared by conjugate addition of PEG-multiacrylate to dithiothreitol in the presence of human growth hormone (hGH). It was necessary to precipitate hGH with linear Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG or Zn2+ in order to protect the hormone during the polymerisation process. Precipitation of the hormone with Zn2+ also increased the stability in the hydrogel and delayed release by slowing the dissolution of the agent. Release was controlled by changing the MW and degree of functionality of the Polyethylene glycol (LOXANOL PL 5812) PEG acrylate. Zero-order release kinetics were achieved in vitro (van de Wetering et al., 2005). Degradable hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels were synthesised by photopolymerisation of vinyl group modified HA in combination with a di-acryloyl PEG–poly(propylene glycol)–PEG tri-block copolymer (Pluronic) (Kim and Park, 2002). Pluronic copolymers are thermally responsive due to the formation of micelles at increased temperatures, and the hydrogel is therefore thermally responsive. The water uptake capacity continuously decreases with increasing temperature, indicating that the association of the Pluronic component occurs within the network and results in a reduction in water uptake capacity of the HA/Pluronic hydrogels. These hydrogels degrade due to the hydrolysis of an ester linkage present in the structural unit of the di-acryloyl Pluronic component. The erosion of the hydrogel occurrs much faster at higher temperatures; this is proposed to be due to the exposure of the ester linkage at higher temperatures, due to the micellisation of Pluronic. Release of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGh) was mainly dependent on the erosion of the hydrogel, and proceeded at a faster rate at 37°C than at 13°C. Aromatic azo bonds are cleaved in the colon by bacterial azoreductase. Therefore, cross-links composed of aromatic azo groups should degrade in this area of the gut. Hydrogels composed of hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate (HEMA) copolymerised with methacryloyloxy azobenzene were prepared (Shantha, 1995). The hydrogel was pH sensitive and did not swell in simulated gastric fluid (acidic), and drug release was minimal. Drug was released in simulated intestinal fluid in the absence and in the presence of azoreductase producing bacteria. The degree of swelling was higher and drug release increased compared to the acidic environment; however, without the bacteria present in the release media, drug release (5-FU) occurred from the surface only. In the presence of the enzyme, the cross-links were cleaved with a much greater rate of release. Zero-order release of 5-FU was achieved over a period of 4 h

Production
L-(+)-Tartaric Acid:
The L-Tartaric Acid isomer of tartaric acid is industrially produced in the largest amounts.
It is obtained from lees, a solid byproduct of fermentations.
The former byproducts mostly consist of potassium bitartrate (KHC4H4O6).
This potassium salt is converted to calcium tartrate (CaC4H4O6) upon treatment with calcium hydroxide "milk of lime" (Ca(OH)2):

KH(C4H4O6)+Ca(OH)2⟶Ca(C4H4O6)+KOH+H2O

In practice, higher yields of calcium tartrate are obtained with the addition of calcium chloride.
Calcium tartrate is then converted to tartaric acid by treating the salt with aqueous sulfuric acid:

Ca(C4H4O6)+H2SO4⟶H2(C4H4O6)+CaSO4

LUGALVAN DC enhances the corrosion protection of metal surfaces regardless of the type of pre-treatment.

LUGALVAN DC is available as an aqueous, emulsifier-free polymer emulsion, which is miscible with water in all proportions, provided the pH value does not fall below 8.5.
Experience has shown that LUGALVAN DC may be advisable to adjust the pH value at around 9 by adding ammonia or amines, e. g. dimethylethanol amine, in order to prevent precipitation of LUGALVAN DC.

The corrosion resistance of sheet metals treated with LUGALVAN DC can be further enhanced by adding silicates.
If LUGALVAN DC is applied to copper or alloys containing copper, LUGALVAN DC may be required to add benzotriazole, to prevent corrosion during application when LUGALVAN DC is wet.

LUGALVAN DC can be applied by dipping, spinning or spraying.
For spraying applications, a solids content of > 10% is recommended.

The thickness of the polymer film can be adjusted via the viscosity.
The viscosity basically depends on the solids content of the coating bath but also on the pH value.

At pH values above 9.5, the viscosity will decrease.
Usually, films of ca. 1 µm are formed from coating baths with a solids content of 5%.

Higher film thicknesses can be achieved through a higher solids concentration or multiple dipping with intermediate drying.
To achieve constant film thicknesses, LUGALVAN DC is required to monitor the solids concentration in the coating bath.

Depending on the thickness of the film, LUGALVAN DC can be advisable to use higher temperatures for the drying process.
Depending on size and geometry the parts can be dried within one minute at 80°C (fan heater); higher temperatures will reduce the drying time.

LUGALVAN DC can be pigmented by mixing LUGALVAN DC with Luconyl or Dispers pigment preparations.
The components can be mixed by simple stirring and do not require a complicated mixing procedure.
Films produced from LUGALVAN DC are ductile and insensitive to the deformation of the substrate.

LUGALVAN EDC
LUGALVAN EDC is transparent, scratch-resistant, free of heavy metals.
LUGALVAN EDC offers a transparent, cathodic dip paint with particular scratch resistance, which protects metal from corrosion and tarnishing.

LUGALVAN EDC is particularly suitable for use in electroplating shops.

LUGALVAN EDC is a transparent, cathodic electrodeposition coating with very high scratch resistance.
This new transparent product for sealing metal surfaces differs from conventional electrodeposition coatings in that LUGALVAN EDC is not pigmented, which makes LUGALVAN EDC more versatile.

LUGALVAN EDC forms a crystal-clear layer that protects metal from corrosion and prevents LUGALVAN EDC from tarnishing.
Because LUGALVAN EDC is applied by electrophoretic deposition, this new product is particularly suited to the demands of electroplating companies.

The main practical advantage of LUGALVAN EDC is that it consists of only one-component, which makes LUGALVAN EDC easier to use than the conventional two- component on today's market.
In the past, chromate conversion coatings have regularly been applied to zinc-plated parts and fittings to protect them from corrosion.

This is no longer possible, because the EU Directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment that came into force on 1 July 2006 EU and the EU Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles that comes into force on 15 July 2007 prohibit the use of certain heavy metal compounds, including chromate.

The idea of coating metal parts instead of treating them with chromate is neither new nor particularly effective.
Conventional coatings protect metal surfaces well, but their coverage of sharp edges is insufficient and these remain virtually unprotected.

Small parts with a complicated shape are particularly prone to corrosion.
The solution here is to use a cathodic electrodeposition coating, which is applied by means of a process that is similar to electroplating.

The metal part to be coated is dipped in a tank containing LUGALVAN EDC and attached to the cathode.
An electrical current is then applied, which causes a thin layer of polymer to be deposited on the substrate.

The polymer layer forms a film of uniform thickness, even in nooks and crannies.
The process automatically comes to a halt when the layer reaches a certain thickness, and the result is a very even coating applied to the whole surface of the substrate.
Cathodic electrodeposition coatings have been in use for a long time as base coats in automotive and appliances manufacturing.

The idea of using a cathodic electrodeposition coating as a transparent top coat, and not just as a base coat, is relatively new, who is responsible for the development and application technology of LUGALVAN coatings.
LUGALVAN EDC offers much more than preventing corrosion on functional metal components.

For instance, LUGALVAN EDC can also be used to prevent tarnishing on decorative brass fittings.
In this particular application, the coating has to do more than merely preventing corrosion, because the surface of the metal has to appear as if LUGALVAN EDC has just been freshly polished and LUGALVAN EDC has to be resistant to scratching as well as resistant to tarnishing.

Typical examples are brass door handles and furniture fittings made from brass.
These products no longer have to be polished in everyday use.
LUGALVAN EDC is superior to conventional transparent coatings in this application, because cathodic electrodeposition coatings have very high resistance to abrasion.

LUGALVAN EDC contributes to sustainability and protecting the environment, because this new product makes LUGALVAN EDC possible to prolong the working life of metal parts without having to resort to corrosion protection methods that employ heavy metals.
LUGALVAN is a well-known brand in the surface treatment industry for products that are used in zinc plating and finishing processes.

Applications of LUGALVAN EDC:
LUGALVAN EDC effectively protects zinc-plated parts from corrosion.
Decorative, scratch-resistant coating for brass.
Crystal-clear top coats can be applied to components with a complex shape.

LUGALVAN FDC
LUGALVAN FDC is additives nonionic surfactant for the electroplating industry.
LUGALVAN FDC is an aqueous polymer emulsion that is free of emulsifiers.
LUGALVAN FDC is miscible in all proportions with water, provided the pH does not fall below 8.5.

Experience has shown that LUGALVAN FDC can be advisable to adjust the pH to approx 9 if necessary with ammonia or with amines such as triethanolamine or dimethylethanolamine in order to prevent the solids from precipitating.
LUGALVAN FDC can be applied by dipping, spinning or spraying.

Careful attention should be paid to ensure that foam does not form if LUGALVAN FDC is applied by spraying.
For instance, 200 ml of a solution of LUGALVAN FDC that has been diluted down to a solids content of 15% forms more than 350 ml of foam after 30 cycles in a foam-testing apparatus when LUGALVAN FDC is agitated for 30 seconds and then left to stand for 30 seconds.

The volume of foam that is formed can be reduced to less than 50 ml by adding 0.1% Degressal SD 20 without impairing the corrosion resistance.
The thickness of the polymer film can be controlled by adjusting the viscosity.

The viscosity largely depends on the solids content of the bath, but LUGALVAN FDC can also be influenced by the bath temperature, pH or the presence of additives.
Transparent films that are applied by dipping in an aqueous bath usually have a thickness of 1 – 10 µm.

Thicker films can be applied by dipping the substrate several times and allowing LUGALVAN FDC to dry each time it is dipped.
Very homogeneous films are obtained by consecutive dipping into diluted solutions of LUGALVAN FDC and intermediate drying steps.

If baths are open to the atmosphere and stirred, LUGALVAN FDC is advisable to monitor their solids content to ensure that the film thickness remains constant.
Depending on the thickness of the film, LUGALVAN FDC is usually advisable to dry the film at elevated temperatures.

Depending on their size, shape and thickness, components that have been coated with LUGALVAN FDC can usually be dried to a tack-free finish by drying them 1 minute at 80 °C (fan heater).
For increased corrosion protection drying at elevated temperature or prolonged reaction time is recommendable, e.g. 10 minutes at 80°C or 1 munite at 130 °C.

The drying times are corres­pondingly shorter at higher temperatures.
The film can gradually become yellow if LUGALVAN FDC is exposed to temperatures in excess of 150 °C for prolonged periods, but the discoloration is purely aesthetic and the polymer does not undergo any thermal degradation.

LUGALVAN FDC can be coloured with our Luconyl and Dispers pigment preparations, which normally need to be added at a rate of 0.1 – 5%.
The pigments can simply be mixed in by stirring and no elaborate mixing techniques are necessary, but we would recommend filtering the emulsion if necessary in order to remove any undispersed pigment.

LUGALVAN FDC is a transparent, cathodic electrodeposition coating with high scratch resistance.
According to the company, this new transparent product for sealing metal surfaces differs from conventional electrodeposition coatings in that LUGALVAN FDC is not pigmented, which makes LUGALVAN FDC more versatile.

The coating forms a crystal-clear layer that protects metal from corrosion and prevents LUGALVAN FDC from tarnishing.
Because LUGALVAN FDC is applied by electrophoretic deposition, this new product is particularly suited to the demands of electroplating companies.

Uses of LUGALVAN FDC:
LUGALVAN FDC is miscible in all proportions with water, provided the pH does not fall below 8.5.

Lupasol HF is available in water-free and waterborne grades of various molecular weights.
Lupasol HF has the largest possible amino group density of all commercially available polyamines, with a nitrogen-to-carbon ratio of 1:2.
Lupasol HF thus has a high cationic charge density that is strongly dependent on pH, being highest at pH 2–4.


Lupasol HF is generally compatible with non-ionic and cationic systems and incompatible with anionic systems.
Lupasol HF is soluble in water as well as both polar and aprotic nonpolar solvents.
The high charge density of Lupasol HF forms strong bonds on negatively charged surfaces, including cellulose, polyester, polyolefins, polyamides, and metals.


The ratio of primary amine to secondary amine to tertiary amine is 1:2:1.
In each Lupasol HF molecule, one nitrogen atom in every two carbon atoms is protonated.
Due to the different pKa values of primary, secondary, and tertiary amino groups, Lupasol HF could capture protons under different pH conditions, which is called the "proton sponge" mechanism.


As a cationic polymer, Lupasol HF is also a widely used transfection reagent in molecular biology and a dispersant in nanotechnology.
Lupasol HF can form a positively charged complex with DNA, which binds to anionic cell surface residues and enters the cell via endocytosis. Lupasol HF is available with an organic matrix of a polystyrene polymer.


The Lupasol HF magnetic particles can capture negatively charged molecules, such as DNA and RNA, through charge-charge interaction.
Lupasol HF is a cationic polymer containing a large number of nitrogen atoms,which usually has a highly branched structure.
Lupasol HF has good solubility,adsorption,and reducibility,and has important functions in many applications.


Lupasol HF is highly branched liquid water soluble polyamine with high cationic charge density.
Lupasol HF is a high-charge cationic polymer that readily binds highly anionic substrates.
Lupasol HF is a clear viscous liquid.


Lupasol HF, an organic polyamine polymer, is one of the most prominent examples of cationic polymers capable of gene transfection in vitro and in vivo into various cell lines and tissues.
Lupasol HF was also applied in different fields from gene therapy and several studies have emphasized the importance of this polymer in medicinal chemistry.

The versatility of Lupasol HF lies in its unique properties which include outstanding adhesion and bonding attributes.
It's these traits that have led to Lupasol HF being a choice compound in numerous areas of application.



PRODUCTION METHODS OF LUPASOL HF:
Lupasol HF is produced by the homopolymerization of ethylenimine.
The reaction is catalyzed by acids, Lewis acids, or haloalkanes.
The polymerization is usually carried out at 90 – 110 ℃ in water or in a variety of organic solvents.

The average molecular mass of the Lupasol HF prepared as described above is 10 000 – 20 000.
Higher molecular mass polymers are prepared by addition of a difunctional alkylating agent, such as chloromethyloxirane or 1,2-dichloroethane.
Polyethylenimines (PEI) with a higher average molecular mass can also be provided by ultrafiltration of polymers with a broad mass distribution.
Likewise, polymers of lower molecular mass can be obtained by inclusion of a low molecular mass amine, such as 1,2- ethanediamine, during polymerization.

By using these techniques a range of molecular masses from 300 to 10 6 can be obtained.
Cross-linking during the polymerization of ethylenimine in organic solvents leads to solid Polyethylenimines (PEI).
Furthermore the polymerization process can be conducted on the surface of organic or inorganic materials, thus fixing the Polyethylenimines (PEI) to a support.



STRUCTURE AND CONFORMATION OF LUPASOL HF:
Lupasol HF exists as both a branched and linear structure.
Branched Lupasol HF (bPEI) is synthesized via acid-catalyzed polymerization of aziridine, whereas the linear structure (lPEI) is synthesized via ring opening polymerization of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline followed by hydrolysis.



BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF LUPASOL HF:

Lupasol HF acts as a low toxicity and efficient gene vector.



CO2 CAPTURE, LUPASOL HF:
Both linear and branched Lupasol HF have been used for CO2 capture, frequently impregnated over porous materials.
First use of Lupasol HF polymer in CO2 capture was devoted to improve the CO2 removal in space craft applications, impregnated over a polymeric matrix.

After that, the support was changed to MCM-41, an hexagonal mesostructured silica, and large amounts of Lupasol HF were retained in the so-called "molecular basket".
MCM-41-PEI adsorbent materials led to higher CO2 adsorption capacities than bulk Lupasol HF or MCM-41 material individually considered.

The authors claim that, in this case, a synergic effect takes place due to the high Lupasol HF dispersion inside the pore structure of the material.
As a result of this improvement, further works were developed to study more in depth the behaviour of these materials.

Exhaustive works have been focused on the CO2 adsorption capacity as well as the CO2/O2 and CO2/N2 adsorption selectivity of several MCM-41-PEI materials with Lupasol HF polymers.
Also, Lupasol HF impregnation has been tested over different supports such as a glass fiber matrix and monoliths.

However, for an appropriate performance under real conditions in post-combustion capture (mild temperatures between 45-75 °C and the presence of moisture) it is necessary to use thermally and hydrothermally stable silica materials, such as SBA-15, which also presents an hexagonal mesostructure.
Moisture and real world conditions have also been tested when using Lupasol HF-impregnated materials to adsorb CO2 from the air.

A detailed comparison among Lupasol HF and other amino-containing molecules showed an excellent performance of PEI-containing samples with cycles.
Also, only a slight decrease was registered in their CO2 uptake when increasing the temperature from 25 to 100 °C, demonstrating a high contribution of chemisorption to the adsorption capacity of these solids.

For the same reason, the adsorption capacity under diluted CO2 was up to 90% of the value under pure CO2 and also, a high unwanted selectivity towards SO2 was observed.
Lately, many efforts have been made in order to improve Lupasol HF diffusion within the porous structure of the support used.

A better dispersion of Lupasol HF and a higher CO2 efficiency (CO2/NH molar ratio) were achieved by impregnating a template-occluded PE-MCM-41 material rather than perfect cylindrical pores of a calcined material, following a previously described route.
The combined use of organosilanes such as aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane, AP, and Lupasol HF has also been studied.

The first approach used a combination of them to impregnate porous supports, achieving faster CO2-adsorption kinetics and higher stability during reutilization cycles, but no higher efficiencies.
A novel method is the so-called "double-functionalization".

It is based on the impregnation of materials previously functionalized by grafting (covalent bonding of organosilanes).
Amino groups incorporated by both paths have shown synergic effects, achieving high CO2 uptakes up to 235 mg CO2/g (5.34 mmol CO2/g).
CO2 adsorption kinetics were also studied for these materials, showing similar adsorption rates as impregnated solids.

This is an interesting finding, taking into account the smaller pore volume available in double-functionalized materials.
Thus, it can be also concluded that their higher CO2 uptake and efficiency compared to impregnated solids can be ascribed to a synergic effect of the amino groups incorporated by two methods (grafting and impregnation) rather than to a faster adsorption kinetics.

STRUCTURE AND REACTIVITY OF LUPEROX A75 BENZOYL PEROXIDE
Structure of Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide from X-ray crystallography.
The O=C-O-O dihedral angle is 90°.
The O-O distance is 1.434 Å.

The original 1858 synthesis by Liebig reacted benzoyl chloride with barium peroxide,[15] a reaction that probably follows this equation:
2 C6H5C(O)Cl + BaO2 → (C6H5CO)2O2 + BaCl2
Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide is usually prepared by treating hydrogen peroxide with benzoyl chloride under alkaline conditions.
2 C6H5COCl + H2O2 + 2 NaOH → (C6H5CO)2O2 + 2 NaCl + 2 H2O

The oxygen–oxygen bond in peroxides is weak.
Thus, Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide readily undergoes homolysis (symmetrical fission), forming free radicals:
(C6H5CO)2O2 → 2 C6H5CO•2
The symbol • indicates that the products are radicals; i.e., they contain at least one unpaired electron.
Such species are highly reactive.

The homolysis is usually induced by heating.
The half-life of Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide is one hour at 92 °C. At 131 °C, the half-life is one minute.


In 1901, J. H. Kastle and his graduate student A. S. Loevenhart observed that the compound made the tincture of guaiacum tincture turn blue, a sign of oxygen being released.
Around 1905, Loevenhart reported on the successful use of Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide to treat various skin conditions, including burns, chronic varicose leg tumors, and tinea sycosis.
He also reported animal experiments that showed the relatively low toxicity of the compound.


Treatment with Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide was proposed for wounds by Lyon and Reynolds in 1929, and for sycosis vulgaris and acne varioliformis by Peck and Chagrin in 1934.
However, preparations were often of questionable quality.
It was officially approved for the treatment of acne in the US in 1960.

Polymerization:
Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide is mainly used as a radical initiator to induce chain-growth polymerization reactions,[4] such as for polyester and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) resins and dental cements and restoratives.
Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide is the most important among the various organic peroxides used for this purpose, a relatively safe alternative to the much more hazardous methyl ethyl ketone peroxide.
Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide is also used in rubber curing and as a finishing agent for some acetate yarns.

USES OF LUPEROX A75 BENZOYL PEROXIDE:
Tube of a water-based 5% Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide preparation for the treatment of acne
Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide is effective for treating acne lesions.
Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide does not induce antibiotic resistance.

Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide may be combined with salicylic acid, sulfur, erythromycin or clindamycin (antibiotics), or adapalene (a synthetic retinoid).
Two common combination drugs include Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin and adapalene/Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide, adapalene being a chemically stable retinoid that can be combined with Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide[26] unlike tezarotene and tretinoin.
Combination products such as Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin and Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide/salicylic acid appear to be slightly more effective than Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide alone for the treatment of acne lesions.

The combination tretinoin/Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide was approved for medical use in the United States in 2021.
Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide for acne treatment is typically applied to the affected areas in gel, cream, or liquid, in concentrations of 2.5% increasing through 5.0%, and up to 10%.
No strong evidence supports the idea that higher concentrations of Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide are more effective than lower concentrations.


Mechanism of action:
Classically, Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide is thought to have a three-fold activity in treating acne.
It is sebostatic, comedolytic, and inhibits growth of Cutibacterium acnes, the main bacterium associated with acne.

In general, acne vulgaris is a hormone-mediated inflammation of sebaceous glands and hair follicles.
Hormone changes cause an increase in keratin and sebum production, leading to blocked drainage. C. acnes has many lytic enzymes that break down the proteins and lipids in the sebum, leading to an inflammatory response.

The free-radical reaction of Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide can break down the keratin, therefore unblocking the drainage of sebum (comedolytic).
It can cause nonspecific peroxidation of C. acnes, making it bactericidal,[6] and it was thought to decrease sebum production, but disagreement exists within the literature on this.

Some evidence suggests that Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide has an anti-inflammatory effect as well.
In micromolar concentrations it prevents neutrophils from releasing reactive oxygen species, part of the inflammatory response in acne



APPLICATIONS OF LUPEROX A75 BENZOYL PEROXIDE
For some special applications it is desirable to use a dry Luperox A75 benzoyl peroxide powder as a catalyst.

LUPRAGEN N 205
LUPRAGEN N 205 LUPRAGEN N 205 is a tertiary amine that primarily promotes the urea (water-isocyanate) reaction in flexible and rigid polyurethane foams. LUPRAGEN N 205 can be used in all types of foam formulations. The strong catalytic effect on the blowing reaction can be balanced by the addition of a strong gelling catalyst. If amine emissions are a concern, TOYOCAT ETSlow-emission alternatives are available for many end use applications. Bis(2-Dimethylaminoethyl)ether (LUPRAGEN N 205) is a colorless to yellowish liquid, with an amine-like odor. LUPRAGEN N 205 is also miscible with water. Bis (2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)ether (LUPRAGEN N 205) reacts as a base. Reacts exothermically with acids. May form explosive peroxides upon exposure to the air. Formula of LUPRAGEN N 205: C8H20N2O Molecular weight of LUPRAGEN N 205: 160.2572 IUPAC Standard InChI: InChI=1S/C8H20N2O/c1-9(2)5-7-11-8-6-10(3)4/h5-8H2,1-4H3 IUPAC Standard InChIKey: GTEXIOINCJRBIO-UHFFFAOYSA-N Bis(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)ether (LUPRAGEN N 205) appears as a clear or yellow liquid. Bp: 188°C. Toxic by inhalation, by skin absorption, ingestion, and eye contact. DMAEE (LUPRAGEN N 205) vapor was readily absorbed at a constant rate, slowly eliminated mainly by urinary excretion, and without preferential specific organ/tissue accumulation. DMAEE (LUPRAGEN N 205) is used primarily as a catalyst in the manufacturing of polyurethane foams. NIAX Catalyst ESN, its components, dimethylaminopropionitrile and bis(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)ether (LUPRAGEN N 205) In May 1978, OSHA and NIOSH jointly published the Current Intelligence Bulletin (CIB) 26: NIAX Catalyst ESN. In this CIB, OSHA and NIOSH recommended that occupational exposure to NIAX Catalyst ESN, its components, dimethylaminopropionitrile and bis(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)ether (LUPRAGEN N 205), as well as formulations containing either component, be minimized. Acute Exposure/ Unoccluded application of 10 uL of undiluted LUPRAGEN N 205 (DMAEE) to the skin of rabbits produced marked local necrosis. More serious skin lesions were produced when the material was kept on the skin under occlusive dressing for 4 hr. Acute Exposure/ LUPRAGEN N 205 (DMAEE) was applied to the eyes of rabbits undiluted or as a 1%, 5%, or 15% aqueous solution. When administered undiluted, LUPRAGEN N 205 (DMAEE) produced extensive corneal injury, iritis, severe conjunctival irritation, and chemosis. A 15% solution did not produce a corneal injury and produced only mild conjunctivitis. No ocular effects were produced by a 1% solution. In rabbits, measurements of corneal thickness were made prior to exposure, several times on the day following exposure, and at 24, 48, and 72 hr after the exposure. Exposures were by inhalation for 2 hr at 0.1, 1, 5, 10, 12, 15, 25, or 30 ppm LUPRAGEN N 205 (DMAEE). Concentration-related increases in corneal thickness in rabbits were observed immediately following the exposure at between 10 and 30 ppm of LUPRAGEN N 205 (DMAEE), with the thickness generally reaching a maximum at 3 hr postexposure. Groups of six female rats were exposed to air saturated with the vapors of LUPRAGEN N 205 (DMAEE) for 8 hr. No deaths occurred. Lacrimation and excess conjunctival irritation were observed.

LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether)'s production and use as a laboratory reagent and as a catalyst in the manufacturing of polyurethane foams may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. If released to air, an estimated vapor pressure of 0.75 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) will exist solely as a vapor in the atmosphere. Vapor-phase LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 0.6 hrs. LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm, and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. If released to soil, LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) is expected to have very high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 13. However, the estimated pKa values of LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) are 8.14 and 9.21, indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts. Volatilization from moist soil is not expected because the compound exists as a cation and cations do not volatilize. Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 0% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks indicating that biodegradation is not a rapid environmental fate process. If released into water, LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the estimated Koc. The pKa values indicate LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) will exist almost entirely in the cation form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process. An estimated BCF of 3 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process since this compound lacks functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions. Occupational exposure to LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) is produced or used. LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether)'s production and use as a laboratory reagent(1) and as a catalyst in the manufacturing of polyurethane foams(2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC). Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 13(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). However, the estimated pKa values of LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) are 8.14 and 9.21(3), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). Volatilization from moist soil is not expected because the compound exists as a cation and cations do not volatilize. LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 0.75 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(5). Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 13(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). The estimated pKa values of 8.14 and 9.21(3) indicate that LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) will exist almost entirely in the cation form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process. According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether), which has an estimated vapor pressure of 0.75 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 6 hrs(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.1X10-10 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4), and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether), present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 2.1X10-10 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 0.6 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(3). LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(3), and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether)(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -0.54(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) can be estimated to be 13(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) is expected to have very high mobility in soil. However, the pKa values of LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) are pKa1 = 8.14 and pKa2 = 9.21, indicating that this compound will almost entirely exist in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). The estimated pKa values of 8.14 and 9.21(1) indicate that LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) will exist almost entirely in the cation form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process. LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 0.75 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(3). LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) was tested for but not detected in river water samples collected on April 2, 1980 from the highly polluted Hahashida River in Japan; the Hayashida is a tributary of the Ibo River that runs through Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture, a center of leather manufacture(1). NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 1,529 workers (165 of these were female) were potentially exposed to LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) in the US(1). Occupational exposure to LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) is produced or used(SRC). Description and features of LUPRAGEN N 205 AminCat A-1 ( bis-2-dimethylaminoethyl-ether, LUPRAGEN N 205 ) is one of the most active amine blowing catalysts available. LUPRAGEN N 205 consists of 70% bis (2-Dimethylaminoethyl) ether diluted with 30% dipropylene glycol for ease and accuracy of metering. Although AminCat A-1 (LUPRAGEN N 205) catalyzes both the blowing and gelling reactions, its unique emphasis on the isocyanate reaction has established it as the industry standard for all types of polyurethane systems where efficient catalysis of the blowing reaction is required. Application of LUPRAGEN N 205 LUPRAGEN N 205 (AminCat A-1) is the established blowing catalyst for all types of flexible foam. Its strong catalytic effect on the blowing reaction can be balanced by the addition of a strong gelling catalyst.

Ether amine catalysts The 2,2'-dichloroethyl ether (abbreviated as chloroether) amination method is an earlier reported LUPRAGEN N 205 (BDMAEE) synthesis process. In 1968, Fedor et al. used chloroether as a raw material to synthesize LUPRAGEN N 205 (BDMAEE) through ammoniation and demethylation [13]. In high-rebound soft foams, bis(2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) LUPRAGEN N 205 (BDMAEE) is used as a conventional foaming catalyst due to its unique chemical structure, which is a typical strong and efficient tertiary amine catalyst, promotes the reaction of water with isocyanate, also known as the foaming reaction or early reaction.

LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether)'s production and use as a laboratory reagent and as a catalyst in the manufacturing of polyurethane foams may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. If released to air, an estimated vapor pressure of 0.75 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) will exist solely as a vapor in the atmosphere.

LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm, and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. If released to soil, LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) is expected to have very high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 13. However, the estimated pKa values of LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) are 8.14 and 9.21, indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts. Volatilization from moist soil is not expected because the compound exists as a cation and cations do not volatilize. Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 0% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks indicating that biodegradation is not a rapid environmental fate process. If released into water, LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the estimated Koc. The pKa values indicate LUPRAGEN N 205 (Bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether) will exist almost entirely in the cation form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process. An estimated BCF of 3 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process since this compound lacks functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL AO 3:
The LUTENSOL AO types are nonionic surfactants.
They are based on C13C15 oxo alcohol that consists of ca. 67% C13 and ca. 33% C15.

The LUTENSOL AO types conform to the following structural formula:
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = C13C15 oxo alcohol
x = 3, 5, 7, 8, 11

The degree of ethoxylation is denoted by the numeric product designation.
LUTENSOL AO 79 consist of ca. 10% water and ca. 90% LUTENSOL AO 7 and LUTENSOL AO 8 respectively.

These products are supplied in the form of mobile liquids, and they are easier to process than 100% active products supplied in paste form.
LUTENSOL AO 3109 is a mixture of LUTENSOL AO 3 and LUTENSOL AO 10 with an active content of ca. 90% w/w and a water content of ca. 10% w/w.

The LUTENSOL AO types are manufactured by causing the C13C15 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance surfactants with low toxicity are formed

Further details are given in our Safety Data Sheets.

Ecology of LUTENSOL AO 3:

Biodegradability:
The LUTENSOL TO types are, on average, at least 90 % biodegradable and satisfy the requirements of German surfactants legislation of 4 June 1986.

Labelling:
According to European and German legislation, the LUTENSOL TO types
have to be labelled as follows.

Hazard labelling:
Xn = Harmful
Xi = Irritant
R 22 = Harmful if swallowed
R 36 = Irritating to eyes
R 38 = Irritating to skin
R 41 = Risk of serious damage to eyes

N = Dangerous for the environment (Symbol: dead tree/fish)
R 50 = Very toxic to aquatic organisms
R 51 = Toxic to aquatic organisms
R 52 = Harmful to aquatic organisms
R 53 = May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment
NLN = No labelling necessary

Storage of LUTENSOL AO 3:
The LUTENSOL AO types should be stored in a dry place.
Store rooms must not be overheated.

The LUTENSOL AO types are hygroscopic and soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums should be tightly resealed each time material is taken from them.

The LUTENSOL AO types should not be stored at temperatures substantially below 20°C.
Attention also needs to be paid to their setting points.

LUTENSOL AO 3, AO 5, and AO 7 are supplied in the form of cloudy liquids, and they have a tendency to form a sediment.
They become clear at ca. 50°C.

Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of precipitation should be heated to 50 – 60°C and homogenized before use.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 70°C.

This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

The LUTENSOL AO types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks at 50 – 60°C (LUTENSOL AO 30: 70°C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant, gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils.

The performance of Lutensol FA 12K is related to the EO number in the structure.
When the EO number is low, it is not alkali resistant, at the same time, the compatibility with anionic surfactants is poor.

Due to the presence of a double oxyethylene chain at the nitrogen atom, Lutensol FA 12K shows a combination of action in the application as a non-ionic and cationic surfactant, especially in acidic systems.

Due to its cationic nature, the Lutensol FA 12K molecule can form a single layer (film) on the metal surface.
This makes Lutensol FA 12K anti-corrosive, especially in relation to ferrous metals.

Good emulsifying properties enable the use of Lutensol FA 12K in agrochemical formulations, such as: EW, EC, SL, ME, WP, WG. Lutensol FA 12K is also suitable for the formation of cationic emulsions.

In this application, Lutensol FA 12K can be used alone or in combination with other surfactants.
On the other hand, in the lubricant industry, Lutensol FA 12K is used as a component in the formulation of cooling and lubricating fluids and flame-retardant hydraulic fluids.

Lutensol FA 12K has very good detergent and dispersing properties, thanks to which it effectively removes persistent dirt. Furthermore, Lutensol FA 12K works well in acidic and alkaline formulations, it is also resistant to hard water.

Thanks to such properties, Lutensol FA 12K can be used in the industrial and institutional cleaning industry as a component of hard surface cleaners, industrial degreasers and metal cleaning agents.
Lutensol FA 12K also exhibits drying properties when used in washing preparations for car washes.

LUTENSOL ON 110 is foam wetting agent, degreaser and emulsifier (100%).
LUTENSOL ON 110 is used in compositions for dishwashers, industrial and auto chemical goods, production of microemulsions.

CAS Number: 26183-52-8

LUTENSOL ON 110 is HLB 15.
LUTENSOL ON 110 is water soluble.

Uses of LUTENSOL ON 110:
LUTENSOL ON 110 is used in compositions for dishwashers, industrial and auto chemical goods, production of microemulsions.

Other Uses:
Wetting agents

Applications of LUTENSOL ON 110:
The LUTENSOL ON types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in the detergents and cleaners industry, and in other branches of industry by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their detergency and soil-dispersing capacity are also very pronounced, with the result that they perform particularly well in household, industrial and institutional laundry detergents.

Their high surface activity makes them particularly effective wetting agents for use in water and other polar liquids.
The LUTENSOL ON types perform particularly well in products that contain only small or moderate amounts of neutral salts or bases such as caustic alkalis, soluble carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They also perform well in formulations that contain no inorganic substances.

Compatibility:
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL ON types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.
They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulfonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulfates and other sulfated and sulfonated products.

This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.
They are also compatible with Lutensit TC-KLC 50 (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzylammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A, AO, AT, TO, XP, XL and F types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.

Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.
The versatility of the LUTENSOL ON types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.

They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.
The LUTENSOL ON types with a low degree of ethoxylation have a spontaneous emulsifying effect, which is very useful in emulsion-type cleaners and cleaners that are applied cold.

Cleaners:
We recommend the following LUTENSOL types for the products listed below.

Household cleaners:
Dishwashing detergents and cleaners for floors, sanitary ware, tiles and enamel can be formulated with LUTENSOL ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110 together with other LUTENSOL types, Lutensit A types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Neutral water-based cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range – all except LUTENSOL ON 110 – perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (especially Lutensit A-LB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Alkaline water-based cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are used to clean metal before LUTENSOL ON types is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.
LUTENSOL ON 110, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110 perform best, in combination with Lutensit A-PS, other LUTENSOL types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Acid water-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110 are used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric or amidosulfonic acid.
Formulations also contain LUTENSOL FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 or Lutensit A-PS, and corrosion inhibitors such as Korantin BH.

Contract cleaning, disinfectants:
Disinfectants and cleaners for offices, etc., can be formulated with LUTENSOL ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110, LUTENSOL A 8, FSA 10, FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 or Lutensit A-LB types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Solvent-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL ON 110 can be used alongside Emulan® A, P and PO to emulsify hydrocarbons such as mineral spirits, kerosene and diesel oil in solventbased cleaners that are applied cold.
Cleaners of this type are used to clean motor vehicles, engines, machine parts, road and rail tankers, etc., and to degrease metal.

Toilet cones:
Solid blocks and cones can be formulated with LUTENSOL ON types, Lutensit AT types, Pluriol® E 9000, dyes and fragrance.
Combinations of LUTENSOL ON types such as ON 30 and ON 110 can also be used.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL ON types with a low degree of ethoxylation are effective emulsifiers for some oils and solvents.
They can be combined with other emulsifiers from our Emulan range, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulfonated oils.

Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best combination of emulsifiers and the amount required.
Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided solids or water-soluble solvents.

Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.
LUTENSOL ON 110 is especially recommended for emulsifying spindle oil, machine oil, mineral spirits and kerosene in cleaners, drilling oils, rolling oils, drawing oils and mould-release agents.
LUTENSOL ON types may be used alone or in combination with other nonionic emulsifiers such as Emulan A, P and PO, anionic emulsifiers such as Korantin SH, and sulfonated oils and amine soaps.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, is their single most important attribute if sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL ON types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and for dispersing the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL ON types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications of LUTENSOL ON 110:
There are applications for the LUTENSOL ON types in the leather, paper, paints and building products industries.

Replacement products for alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO):
In June 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC which places restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, noylphenol ethoxylates) in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This legislation entered into force on 17 January 2005 in response to demands to reduce the risks identified in the EU risk assesment of nonylphenol.

LUTENSOL ON types applies to all applications in which these products are discharged as effluent, and LUTENSOL ON types aim is to minimising the release of NP and NPEO into surface waters.
If effectively amounts to ban on these substances.

Features and Benefits of LUTENSOL ON 110:
Low toxicity

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL ON 110:
The LUTENSOL ON types are nonionic surfactants.
They are alkyl polyethylene glycol ethers made from a saturated synthetic, short-chain fatty alcohol.

They conform to the following formula.
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = saturated, synthetic, short-chain fatty alcohol
x = 3, 5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8 or 11

The numeric code in LUTENSOL ON types name usually indicates the degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL ON types are manufactured by causing the fatty alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Properties of LUTENSOL ON 110:
LUTENSOL ON 30, ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70 and ON 80 are clear or cloudy, virtually colourless liquids.

LUTENSOL ON 110 is a soft, colourless paste.

The most important properties of the LUTENSOL ON types are shown in the table below.
The figures quoted are averages from representative batches of product.

Storage of LUTENSOL ON 110:
The LUTENSOL ON types should be stored indoors in their original packaging, which should be kept tightly sealed.

They are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20°C, and storerooms must not be overheated.

The LUTENSOL ON types can become slightly cloudy if they are stored at low temperatures, but this has no effect on their performance.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to 20 – 30°C, or 50°C in the case of LUTENSOL ON 110.

Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of precipitation should be heated to around 30°C (LUTENSOL ON 110 : 50°C) and rehomogenized before LUTENSOL ON types is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.

This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

The LUTENSOL ON types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks (at 50 – 60°C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils.

Materials:

The following materials can be used for tanks and drums.
AISI 304 stainless steel (X6CrNiTi1810)
AISI 316 stainless steel (X10CrNiMoTi1810)
Iron lined with a phenolic resin

Shelf life of LUTENSOL ON 110:
Provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed, the LUTENSOL ON types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging.

Safety of LUTENSOL ON 110:
We know of no ill effects that could have resulted from using LUTENSOL ON types for the purpose for which LUTENSOL ON types is intended and from processing it in accordance with current practices.
According to the experience that we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, LUTENSOL ON types do not exert harmful effects on health, provided they are used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our Safety Data Sheets are observed.

Handling of LUTENSOL ON 110:
Protect the eyes and avoid prolonged contact with the skin.
Safety glasses should be worn when handling these products in their undiluted form.

Biological Degradability of LUTENSOL ON 110:
These products fulfil the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 on detergents, tested according to the methods listed in Annex III.

The water-soluble products in the range – all except LUTENSOL ON 30 – perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (especially Lutensit A-LB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Alkaline water-based cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are used to clean metal before LUTENSOL ON types is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.
LUTENSOL ON 60, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110 perform best, in combination with Lutensit A-PS, other LUTENSOL types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Acid water-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110 are used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric or amidosulfonic acid.
Formulations also contain LUTENSOL FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 or Lutensit A-PS, and corrosion inhibitors such as Korantin BH.

Contract cleaning, disinfectants:
Disinfectants and cleaners for offices, etc., can be formulated with LUTENSOL ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110, LUTENSOL A 8, FSA 10, FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 or Lutensit A-LB types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Solvent-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL ON 30 can be used alongside Emulan® A, P and PO to emulsify hydrocarbons such as mineral spirits, kerosene and diesel oil in solventbased cleaners that are applied cold.
Cleaners of this type are used to clean motor vehicles, engines, machine parts, road and rail tankers, etc., and to degrease metal.

Toilet cones:
Solid blocks and cones can be formulated with LUTENSOL ON types, Lutensit AT types, Pluriol® E 9000, dyes and fragrance.
Combinations of LUTENSOL ON types such as ON 30 and ON 110 can also be used.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL ON types with a low degree of ethoxylation are effective emulsifiers for some oils and solvents.
They can be combined with other emulsifiers from our Emulan range, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulfonated oils.

Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best combination of emulsifiers and the amount required.
Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided solids or water-soluble solvents.

Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.
LUTENSOL ON 30 is especially recommended for emulsifying spindle oil, machine oil, mineral spirits and kerosene in cleaners, drilling oils, rolling oils, drawing oils and mould-release agents.
LUTENSOL ON types may be used alone or in combination with other nonionic emulsifiers such as Emulan A, P and PO, anionic emulsifiers such as Korantin SH, and sulfonated oils and amine soaps.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, is their single most important attribute if sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL ON types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and for dispersing the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL ON types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications of LUTENSOL ON 30:
There are applications for the LUTENSOL ON types in the leather, paper, paints and building products industries.

Replacement products for alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO):
In June 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC which places restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, noylphenol ethoxylates) in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This legislation entered into force on 17 January 2005 in response to demands to reduce the risks identified in the EU risk assesment of nonylphenol.

LUTENSOL ON types applies to all applications in which these products are discharged as effluent, and LUTENSOL ON types aim is to minimising the release of NP and NPEO into surface waters.
If effectively amounts to ban on these substances.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL ON 30:
The LUTENSOL ON types are nonionic surfactants.
They are alkyl polyethylene glycol ethers made from a saturated synthetic, short-chain fatty alcohol.

They conform to the following formula.
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = saturated, synthetic, short-chain fatty alcohol
x = 3, 5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8 or 11

The numeric code in LUTENSOL ON types name usually indicates the degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL ON types are manufactured by causing the fatty alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Properties of LUTENSOL ON 30:
LUTENSOL ON 30, ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70 and ON 80 are clear or cloudy, virtually colourless liquids.

LUTENSOL ON 110 is a soft, colourless paste.

The most important properties of the LUTENSOL ON types are shown in the table below.
The figures quoted are averages from representative batches of product.

Storage of LUTENSOL ON 30:
The LUTENSOL ON types should be stored indoors in their original packaging, which should be kept tightly sealed.

They are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20°C, and storerooms must not be overheated.

The LUTENSOL ON types can become slightly cloudy if they are stored at low temperatures, but this has no effect on their performance.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to 20 – 30°C, or 50°C in the case of LUTENSOL ON 110.

Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of precipitation should be heated to around 30°C (LUTENSOL ON 110 : 50°C) and rehomogenized before LUTENSOL ON types is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.

This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

The LUTENSOL ON types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks (at 50 – 60°C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils.

Materials:

The following materials can be used for tanks and drums.
AISI 304 stainless steel (X6CrNiTi1810)
AISI 316 stainless steel (X10CrNiMoTi1810)
Iron lined with a phenolic resin

Shelf life of LUTENSOL ON 30:
Provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed, the LUTENSOL ON types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging.

Safety of LUTENSOL ON 30:
We know of no ill effects that could have resulted from using LUTENSOL ON types for the purpose for which LUTENSOL ON types is intended and from processing it in accordance with current practices.
According to the experience that we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, LUTENSOL ON types do not exert harmful effects on health, provided they are used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our Safety Data Sheets are observed.

Handling of LUTENSOL ON 30:
Protect the eyes and avoid prolonged contact with the skin.
Safety glasses should be worn when handling these products in their undiluted form.

Biological Degradability of LUTENSOL ON 30:

LUTENSOL ON 50
LUTENSOL ON 50 is nonionic surfactant.

LUTENSOL ON 50 is wetting agent, degreaser and emulsifier (100%).
LUTENSOL ON 50 is used in compositions for dishwashers, industrial and auto chemical goods, production of microemulsions.

CAS Number: 26183-52-8

LUTENSOL ON 50 is GLB 11.5.
LUTENSOL ON 50 has excellent penetrating power.
LUTENSOL ON 50 is water soluble, but requires the use of a hydrotrope in the presence of electrolytes.

Uses of LUTENSOL ON 50:
Commercial Laundry,
Vehicle and Transportation Care.

Applications of LUTENSOL ON 50:
The LUTENSOL ON types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in the detergents and cleaners industry, and in other branches of industry by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their detergency and soil-dispersing capacity are also very pronounced, with the result that they perform particularly well in household, industrial and institutional laundry detergents.

Their high surface activity makes them particularly effective wetting agents for use in water and other polar liquids.
The LUTENSOL ON types perform particularly well in products that contain only small or moderate amounts of neutral salts or bases such as caustic alkalis, soluble carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They also perform well in formulations that contain no inorganic substances.

Compatibility:
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL ON types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.
They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulfonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulfates and other sulfated and sulfonated products.

This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.
They are also compatible with Lutensit TC-KLC 50 (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzylammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A, AO, AT, TO, XP, XL and F types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.

Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.
The versatility of the LUTENSOL ON types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.

They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.
The LUTENSOL ON types with a low degree of ethoxylation have a spontaneous emulsifying effect, which is very useful in emulsion-type cleaners and cleaners that are applied cold.

Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.
LUTENSOL ON 60 is especially recommended for emulsifying spindle oil, machine oil, mineral spirits and kerosene in cleaners, drilling oils, rolling oils, drawing oils and mould-release agents.
LUTENSOL ON types may be used alone or in combination with other nonionic emulsifiers such as Emulan A, P and PO, anionic emulsifiers such as Korantin SH, and sulfonated oils and amine soaps.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, is their single most important attribute if sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL ON types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and for dispersing the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL ON types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications of LUTENSOL ON 60:
There are applications for the LUTENSOL ON types in the leather, paper, paints and building products industries.

Replacement products for alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO):
In June 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC which places restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, noylphenol ethoxylates) in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This legislation entered into force on 17 January 2005 in response to demands to reduce the risks identified in the EU risk assesment of nonylphenol.

LUTENSOL ON types applies to all applications in which these products are discharged as effluent, and LUTENSOL ON types aim is to minimising the release of NP and NPEO into surface waters.
If effectively amounts to ban on these substances.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL ON 60:
The LUTENSOL ON types are nonionic surfactants.
They are alkyl polyethylene glycol ethers made from a saturated synthetic, short-chain fatty alcohol.

They conform to the following formula.
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = saturated, synthetic, short-chain fatty alcohol
x = 3, 5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8 or 11

The numeric code in LUTENSOL ON types name usually indicates the degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL ON types are manufactured by causing the fatty alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Properties of LUTENSOL ON 60:
LUTENSOL ON 30, ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70 and ON 80 are clear or cloudy, virtually colourless liquids.

LUTENSOL ON 110 is a soft, colourless paste.

The most important properties of the LUTENSOL ON types are shown in the table below.
The figures quoted are averages from representative batches of product.

Storage of LUTENSOL ON 60:
The LUTENSOL ON types should be stored indoors in their original packaging, which should be kept tightly sealed.

They are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20°C, and storerooms must not be overheated.

The LUTENSOL ON types can become slightly cloudy if they are stored at low temperatures, but this has no effect on their performance.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to 20 – 30°C, or 50°C in the case of LUTENSOL ON 110.

Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of precipitation should be heated to around 30°C (LUTENSOL ON 110 : 50°C) and rehomogenized before LUTENSOL ON types is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.

This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

The LUTENSOL ON types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks (at 50 – 60°C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils.

Materials:

The following materials can be used for tanks and drums.
AISI 304 stainless steel (X6CrNiTi1810)
AISI 316 stainless steel (X10CrNiMoTi1810)
Iron lined with a phenolic resin

Shelf life of LUTENSOL ON 60:
Provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed, the LUTENSOL ON types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging.

Safety of LUTENSOL ON 60:
We know of no ill effects that could have resulted from using LUTENSOL ON types for the purpose for which LUTENSOL ON types is intended and from processing it in accordance with current practices.
According to the experience that we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, LUTENSOL ON types do not exert harmful effects on health, provided they are used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our Safety Data Sheets are observed.

Handling of LUTENSOL ON 60:
Protect the eyes and avoid prolonged contact with the skin.
Safety glasses should be worn when handling these products in their undiluted form.

Uses of LUTENSOL ON 70:
LUTENSOL ON 70 is used in compositions for dishwashers, industrial and auto chemical goods, production of microemulsions.

Other Uses:
Wetting agents.

Applications of LUTENSOL ON 70:
The LUTENSOL ON types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in the detergents and cleaners industry, and in other branches of industry by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their detergency and soil-dispersing capacity are also very pronounced, with the result that they perform particularly well in household, industrial and institutional laundry detergents.

Their high surface activity makes them particularly effective wetting agents for use in water and other polar liquids.
The LUTENSOL ON types perform particularly well in products that contain only small or moderate amounts of neutral salts or bases such as caustic alkalis, soluble carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They also perform well in formulations that contain no inorganic substances.

Compatibility:
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL ON types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.
They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulfonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulfates and other sulfated and sulfonated products.

This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.
They are also compatible with Lutensit TC-KLC 50 (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzylammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A, AO, AT, TO, XP, XL and F types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.

Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.
The versatility of the LUTENSOL ON types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.

They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.
The LUTENSOL ON types with a low degree of ethoxylation have a spontaneous emulsifying effect, which is very useful in emulsion-type cleaners and cleaners that are applied cold.

Cleaners:
We recommend the following LUTENSOL types for the products listed below.

Household cleaners:
Dishwashing detergents and cleaners for floors, sanitary ware, tiles and enamel can be formulated with LUTENSOL ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110 together with other LUTENSOL types, Lutensit A types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Neutral water-based cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range – all except LUTENSOL ON 70 – perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (especially Lutensit A-LB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Alkaline water-based cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are used to clean metal before LUTENSOL ON types is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.
LUTENSOL ON 60, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110 perform best, in combination with Lutensit A-PS, other LUTENSOL types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Acid water-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110 are used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric or amidosulfonic acid.
Formulations also contain LUTENSOL FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 or Lutensit A-PS, and corrosion inhibitors such as Korantin BH.

Contract cleaning, disinfectants:
Disinfectants and cleaners for offices, etc., can be formulated with LUTENSOL ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110, LUTENSOL A 8, FSA 10, FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 or Lutensit A-LB types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Solvent-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL ON 70 can be used alongside Emulan® A, P and PO to emulsify hydrocarbons such as mineral spirits, kerosene and diesel oil in solventbased cleaners that are applied cold.
Cleaners of this type are used to clean motor vehicles, engines, machine parts, road and rail tankers, etc., and to degrease metal.

Toilet cones:
Solid blocks and cones can be formulated with LUTENSOL ON types, Lutensit AT types, Pluriol® E 9000, dyes and fragrance.
Combinations of LUTENSOL ON types such as ON 30 and ON 110 can also be used.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL ON types with a low degree of ethoxylation are effective emulsifiers for some oils and solvents.
They can be combined with other emulsifiers from our Emulan range, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulfonated oils.

Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best combination of emulsifiers and the amount required.
Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided solids or water-soluble solvents.

Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.
LUTENSOL ON 70 is especially recommended for emulsifying spindle oil, machine oil, mineral spirits and kerosene in cleaners, drilling oils, rolling oils, drawing oils and mould-release agents.

LUTENSOL ON 80
LUTENSOL ON 80 is a non-ionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL ON 80 is C-10 oxo alcohol alkoxylates used as an industrial formulator.

Applications of LUTENSOL ON 80:
The LUTENSOL ON types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in the detergents and cleaners industry, and in other branches of industry by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their detergency and soil-dispersing capacity are also very pronounced, with the result that they perform particularly well in household, industrial and institutional laundry detergents.

Their high surface activity makes them particularly effective wetting agents for use in water and other polar liquids.
The LUTENSOL ON types perform particularly well in products that contain only small or moderate amounts of neutral salts or bases such as caustic alkalis, soluble carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They also perform well in formulations that contain no inorganic substances.

Compatibility:
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL ON types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.
They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulfonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulfates and other sulfated and sulfonated products.

This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.
They are also compatible with Lutensit TC-KLC 50 (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzylammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A, AO, AT, TO, XP, XL and F types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.

Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.
The versatility of the LUTENSOL ON types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.

They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.
The LUTENSOL ON types with a low degree of ethoxylation have a spontaneous emulsifying effect, which is very useful in emulsion-type cleaners and cleaners that are applied cold.

Cleaners:
We recommend the following LUTENSOL types for the products listed below.

Household cleaners:
Dishwashing detergents and cleaners for floors, sanitary ware, tiles and enamel can be formulated with LUTENSOL ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110 together with other LUTENSOL types, Lutensit A types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Neutral water-based cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range – all except LUTENSOL ON 80 – perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (especially Lutensit A-LB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Alkaline water-based cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are used to clean metal before LUTENSOL ON types is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.
LUTENSOL ON 60, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110 perform best, in combination with Lutensit A-PS, other LUTENSOL types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Acid water-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110 are used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric or amidosulfonic acid.
Formulations also contain LUTENSOL FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 or Lutensit A-PS, and corrosion inhibitors such as Korantin BH.

Contract cleaning, disinfectants:
Disinfectants and cleaners for offices, etc., can be formulated with LUTENSOL ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70, ON 80 and ON 110, LUTENSOL A 8, FSA 10, FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 or Lutensit A-LB types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Solvent-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL ON 80 can be used alongside Emulan® A, P and PO to emulsify hydrocarbons such as mineral spirits, kerosene and diesel oil in solventbased cleaners that are applied cold.
Cleaners of this type are used to clean motor vehicles, engines, machine parts, road and rail tankers, etc., and to degrease metal.

Toilet cones:
Solid blocks and cones can be formulated with LUTENSOL ON types, Lutensit AT types, Pluriol® E 9000, dyes and fragrance.
Combinations of LUTENSOL ON types such as ON 30 and ON 110 can also be used.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL ON types with a low degree of ethoxylation are effective emulsifiers for some oils and solvents.
They can be combined with other emulsifiers from our Emulan range, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulfonated oils.

Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best combination of emulsifiers and the amount required.
Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided solids or water-soluble solvents.

Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.
LUTENSOL ON 80 is especially recommended for emulsifying spindle oil, machine oil, mineral spirits and kerosene in cleaners, drilling oils, rolling oils, drawing oils and mould-release agents.
LUTENSOL ON types may be used alone or in combination with other nonionic emulsifiers such as Emulan A, P and PO, anionic emulsifiers such as Korantin SH, and sulfonated oils and amine soaps.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, is their single most important attribute if sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL ON types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and for dispersing the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL ON types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications of LUTENSOL ON 80:
There are applications for the LUTENSOL ON types in the leather, paper, paints and building products industries.

Replacement products for alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO):
In June 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC which places restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, noylphenol ethoxylates) in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This legislation entered into force on 17 January 2005 in response to demands to reduce the risks identified in the EU risk assesment of nonylphenol.

LUTENSOL ON types applies to all applications in which these products are discharged as effluent, and LUTENSOL ON types aim is to minimising the release of NP and NPEO into surface waters.
If effectively amounts to ban on these substances.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL ON 80:
The LUTENSOL ON types are nonionic surfactants.
They are alkyl polyethylene glycol ethers made from a saturated synthetic, short-chain fatty alcohol.

They conform to the following formula.
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = saturated, synthetic, short-chain fatty alcohol
x = 3, 5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8 or 11

The numeric code in LUTENSOL ON types name usually indicates the degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL ON types are manufactured by causing the fatty alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Properties of LUTENSOL ON 80:
LUTENSOL ON 30, ON 50, ON 60, ON 66, ON 70 and ON 80 are clear or cloudy, virtually colourless liquids.

LUTENSOL ON 110 is a soft, colourless paste.

The most important properties of the LUTENSOL ON types are shown in the table below.
The figures quoted are averages from representative batches of product.

Storage of LUTENSOL ON 80:
The LUTENSOL ON types should be stored indoors in their original packaging, which should be kept tightly sealed.

They are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20°C, and storerooms must not be overheated.

The LUTENSOL ON types can become slightly cloudy if they are stored at low temperatures, but this has no effect on their performance.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to 20 – 30°C, or 50°C in the case of LUTENSOL ON 110.

Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of precipitation should be heated to around 30°C (LUTENSOL ON 110 : 50°C) and rehomogenized before LUTENSOL ON types is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.

This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

The LUTENSOL ON types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks (at 50 – 60°C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils.

Materials:

The following materials can be used for tanks and drums.
AISI 304 stainless steel (X6CrNiTi1810)
AISI 316 stainless steel (X10CrNiMoTi1810)
Iron lined with a phenolic resin

Shelf life of LUTENSOL ON 80:
Provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed, the LUTENSOL ON types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging.

Safety of LUTENSOL ON 80:
We know of no ill effects that could have resulted from using LUTENSOL ON types for the purpose for which LUTENSOL ON types is intended and from processing it in accordance with current practices.
According to the experience that we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, LUTENSOL ON types do not exert harmful effects on health, provided they are used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our Safety Data Sheets are observed.

Handling of LUTENSOL ON 80:
Protect the eyes and avoid prolonged contact with the skin.
Safety glasses should be worn when handling these products in their undiluted form.

Biological Degradability of LUTENSOL ON 80:
These products fulfil the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 on detergents, tested according to the methods listed in Annex III.
Further information on their ecological and toxicological properties can be found un the safety data sheets.

LUTENSOL TO 10
LUTENSOL TO 10 is a non-ionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL TO 10 is C-13 oxo alcohol alkoxylates used as an industrial formulator.

LUTENSOL TO 10 is a nonionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL TO 10 is based on a saturated iso-C13-alcohol.

LUTENSOL TO 10 is manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation tempature is kept as low as possible.

This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.
The numeric code in LUTENSOL TO 10 name indicates the degree of ethoxylation.
LUTENSOL TO 10 is a soft, slightly yellowish paste.

Uses of LUTENSOL TO 10:
Food and Beverage Processing,
Food Service and Kitchen Hygiene,
Commercial Laundry,
Industrial Cleaning.

Applications of LUTENSOL TO 10:
The LUTENSOL TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL TO types can be combined very effectively with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit TC-ALB types), ether sulphates (Lutensit AS 2230) and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit KLC types (cationic products based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AP, AT, F, GD, ON, XA, XL and XP types, and with the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and our Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL TO types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied demands.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Laundry Detergents:
The LUTENSOL TO types and other similar nonionic surfactants have been gaining in importance in recent years, for the following reasons.

1. Detergent manufacturers have been working steadily for years to reduce the amount of pentasodium triphosphate (STP) in their products, or to eliminate LUTENSOL TO completely, for ecological reasons.
The proportion of nonionic surfactants in detergent formulations, in terms of their total surfactant content, has had to be increased to compensate for the drop in performance caused by replacing STP with other builders.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

2. Laundry detergents that contain predominately anionic surfactants are only really effective on cotton fabrics at high temperatures and at high concentrations.
Detergents, especially all-temperature detergents, have to contain a large proportion of nonionic surfactants if they are to provide acceptable results on cotton, synthetic fibres and blended fabrics.
The detergency of medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates is substantially better than that of anionic surfactants, especially in the low-to-medium temperature range and at reduced concentrations.

3. Medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used to control foaming in household detergents.
Their degree of ethoxylation can be in the lower or upper range, depending on the temperatures for which detergents are designed.
Detergents are often expected to produce different amounts of foam at different temperatures, and this is normally achieved simply by adjusting the proportions of linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, fatty alcohol sulphate, soap and nonionic surfactants, but special antifoams can be added if required.

4. Nonionic surfactants with ca. 7 mol of EO are the best choice for liquid laundry detergents, because they are the most effective in the 60°C temperature range.
The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan). LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our
Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15, TO 20 and TO 389 can be used to emulsify aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha.
LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used in emulsion polymerization process to emulsify monomers such as styrene, acrylic and vinyl compounds, either alone or in combination with anionic emulsifiers such as Emulphor OPS 25.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, can be their single most important attribute in situations in which sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL TO types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and they can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids, depending on the particular application.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL TO types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in many branches of industry in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes in aqueous media.

No specific recommendations can be made on account of the diversity of these processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many other applications for the LUTENSOL TO types in the manufacture of leather, paper, paints and building products.
LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be employed as feedstocks in the production of ether sulphates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
In July 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC ethoxylates (APEO) “….relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, nonylphenol ethoxylates….” in the Official Journal.
This legislation was introduced in response to demands to minimise the risks posed by nonylphenol that were identified in the EU Risk Assessment.

This legislation has been in force since January 2005.
The directive covers all applications that result in discharges, emissions or losses to the environment and has the aim of minimising discharges of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates into receiving waters.

Nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates may only be brought into circulation at concentrations of less than 0.1 % w/w as substances or as ingredients of preparations in applications in which they are discharged.
The applications that are affected by this directive include commercial cleaning, household cleaning and textile and leather processing.
These requirements also apply to products that are imported from outside Europe.

Properties of LUTENSOL TO 10:
LUTENSOL TO 2, TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7 and TO 8 are cloudy liquids at 23 °C which tend to form a sediment.
They are clear at 50 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 79, TO 89, TO 109, TO 129 and TO 389 are clear liquids at 23 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 are soft, slightly yellowish pastes.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL TO 10:
The LUTENSOL TO types are nonionic surfactants.
They are based on a saturated iso-C13 alcohol.

They conform to the following structural formula.
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = iso-C13H27
x = 2, 3, 5, 6, 6,5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20

The LUTENSOL TO types are manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Storage of LUTENSOL TO 10:
The LUTENSOL TO types should be stored indoors in a dry place.
Storerooms must not be overheated.

The LUTENSOL TO types are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20 °C.
The setting points of these products also need to be taken into account.

LUTENSOL TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 7, TO 8, TO 65 and TO 565 are cloudy liquids at room temperature, and they tend to form a sediment.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to ca. 50 °C.
Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of sedimentation should be heated to 50 – 60 °C and homogenized before it is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.

This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

The LUTENSOL TO types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks (at 50 – 60 °C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant, gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils

Shelf life of LUTENSOL TO 10:
The LUTENSOL TO types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging, provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed.

Safety of LUTENSOL TO 10:
We know of no ill effects that could have resulted from using the LUTENSOL TO types for the purpose for which they are intended and from processing them in accordance with current practice.
According to the experience we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, the LUTENSOL TO types do not exert any harmful effects on health, provided that they are used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our safety data sheets are observed.

LUTENSOL TO 109
LUTENSOL TO 109 is a non-ionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL TO 109 is C-13 oxo alcohol alkoxylates used as an industrial formulator.
LUTENSOL TO 109 is manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.

CAS Number: 9043-30-5
EC Number: 500-027-2

LUTENSOL TO 109 is based on a saturated iso-C13-alcohol.

LUTENSOL TO 109 is manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation tempature is kept as low as possible.

This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.
The numeric code in LUTENSOL TO 109 name indicates the degree of ethoxylation.

LUTENSOL TO 109 is a clear liquid at 23°C.
LUTENSOL TO 109 consists of approx. 85% LUTENSOL TO 10 and approx. 15% water.

LUTENSOL TO series products can be used as wetting agents, penetrants, emulsifiers, leveling agents, etc. in the textile industry.
In terms of pre-treatment auxiliary agents: (such as degreasing agent, refining agent, wool cleaning agent, etc.), adding a small amount of isomeric alcohol polyoxyethylene ether can obtain an excellent refining cleaning effect.

Two or more of the LUTENSOL TO series products are properly compounded to obtain a silicone oil emulsifier with excellent performance, which has a special emulsification effect on amino silicone oil and dimethyl silicone oil, and the amount of silicone oil is less than that of general emulsifiers.
The emulsion is more stable.

At the same time, LUTENSOL TO series products can also be used as raw materials for solvent-based cleaning agents, emulsifiers in emulsion polymerization, with extremely strong penetrating power, which can penetrate into the inside of fibers.

Uses of LUTENSOL TO 109:
Food and Beverage Processing,
Food Service and Kitchen Hygiene,
Commercial Laundry,
Industrial Cleaning.

Applications of LUTENSOL TO 109:
The LUTENSOL TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL TO types can be combined very effectively with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit TC-ALB types), ether sulphates (Lutensit AS 2230) and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit KLC types (cationic products based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AP, AT, F, GD, ON, XA, XL and XP types, and with the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and our Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL TO types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied demands.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Laundry Detergents:
The LUTENSOL TO types and other similar nonionic surfactants have been gaining in importance in recent years, for the following reasons.

1. Detergent manufacturers have been working steadily for years to reduce the amount of pentasodium triphosphate (STP) in their products, or to eliminate LUTENSOL TO completely, for ecological reasons.
The proportion of nonionic surfactants in detergent formulations, in terms of their total surfactant content, has had to be increased to compensate for the drop in performance caused by replacing STP with other builders.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

2. Laundry detergents that contain predominately anionic surfactants are only really effective on cotton fabrics at high temperatures and at high concentrations.
Detergents, especially all-temperature detergents, have to contain a large proportion of nonionic surfactants if they are to provide acceptable results on cotton, synthetic fibres and blended fabrics.
The detergency of medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates is substantially better than that of anionic surfactants, especially in the low-to-medium temperature range and at reduced concentrations.

3. Medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used to control foaming in household detergents.
Their degree of ethoxylation can be in the lower or upper range, depending on the temperatures for which detergents are designed.
Detergents are often expected to produce different amounts of foam at different temperatures, and this is normally achieved simply by adjusting the proportions of linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, fatty alcohol sulphate, soap and nonionic surfactants, but special antifoams can be added if required.

4. Nonionic surfactants with ca. 7 mol of EO are the best choice for liquid laundry detergents, because they are the most effective in the 60°C temperature range.
The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan).
LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15, TO 20 and TO 389 can be used to emulsify aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha.
LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used in emulsion polymerization process to emulsify monomers such as styrene, acrylic and vinyl compounds, either alone or in combination with anionic emulsifiers such as Emulphor OPS 25.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, can be their single most important attribute in situations in which sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL TO types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and they can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids, depending on the particular application.

No specific recommendations can be made on account of the diversity of these processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many other applications for the LUTENSOL TO types in the manufacture of leather, paper, paints and building products.
LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be employed as feedstocks in the production of ether sulphates.

LUTENSOL TO 12
LUTENSOL TO 12 is a non-ionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL TO 12 is C-13 oxo alcohol alkoxylates used as an industrial formulator.
LUTENSOL TO 12 is ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.

CAS Number: 9043-30-5

LUTENSOL TO 12 is based on a saturated iso-C13-alcohol.
LUTENSOL TO 12 is manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.

This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.
The numeric code in LUTENSOL TO 12 name indicates the degree of ethoxylation.
LUTENSOL TO 12 is a soft, slightly yellowish paste.

LUTENSOL TO series products can be used as wetting agents, penetrants, emulsifiers, leveling agents, etc. in the textile industry.
In terms of pre-treatment auxiliary agents: (such as degreasing agent, refining agent, wool cleaning agent, etc.), adding a small amount of isomeric alcohol polyoxyethylene ether can obtain an excellent refining cleaning effect.

Two or more of the LUTENSOL TO series products are properly compounded to obtain a silicone oil emulsifier with excellent performance, which has a special emulsification effect on amino silicone oil and dimethyl silicone oil, and the amount of silicone oil is less than that of general emulsifiers.
The emulsion is more stable.

At the same time, LUTENSOL TO series products can also be used as raw materials for solvent-based cleaning agents, emulsifiers in emulsion polymerization, with extremely strong penetrating power, which can penetrate into the inside of fibers.

Uses of LUTENSOL TO 12:
The LUTENSOL TO 12 belongs to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they display.
LUTENSOL TO 12 main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.

Other Uses:
Food and Beverage Processing,
Food Service and Kitchen Hygiene,
Commercial Laundry,
Industrial Cleaning.

Applications of LUTENSOL TO 12:
The LUTENSOL TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL TO types can be combined very effectively with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit TC-ALB types), ether sulphates (Lutensit AS 2230) and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit KLC types (cationic products based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AP, AT, F, GD, ON, XA, XL and XP types, and with the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and our Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL TO types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied demands.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Laundry Detergents:
The LUTENSOL TO types and other similar nonionic surfactants have been gaining in importance in recent years, for the following reasons.

1. Detergent manufacturers have been working steadily for years to reduce the amount of pentasodium triphosphate (STP) in their products, or to eliminate LUTENSOL TO completely, for ecological reasons.
The proportion of nonionic surfactants in detergent formulations, in terms of their total surfactant content, has had to be increased to compensate for the drop in performance caused by replacing STP with other builders.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

2. Laundry detergents that contain predominately anionic surfactants are only really effective on cotton fabrics at high temperatures and at high concentrations.
Detergents, especially all-temperature detergents, have to contain a large proportion of nonionic surfactants if they are to provide acceptable results on cotton, synthetic fibres and blended fabrics.
The detergency of medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates is substantially better than that of anionic surfactants, especially in the low-to-medium temperature range and at reduced concentrations.

3. Medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used to control foaming in household detergents.
Their degree of ethoxylation can be in the lower or upper range, depending on the temperatures for which detergents are designed.
Detergents are often expected to produce different amounts of foam at different temperatures, and this is normally achieved simply by adjusting the proportions of linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, fatty alcohol sulphate, soap and nonionic surfactants, but special antifoams can be added if required.

4. Nonionic surfactants with ca. 7 mol of EO are the best choice for liquid laundry detergents, because they are the most effective in the 60°C temperature range.
The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan).
LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15, TO 20 and TO 389 can be used to emulsify aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha.
LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used in emulsion polymerization process to emulsify monomers such as styrene, acrylic and vinyl compounds, either alone or in combination with anionic emulsifiers such as Emulphor OPS 25.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, can be their single most important attribute in situations in which sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL TO types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and they can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids, depending on the particular application.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL TO types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in many branches of industry in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes in aqueous media.

No specific recommendations can be made on account of the diversity of these processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many other applications for the LUTENSOL TO types in the manufacture of leather, paper, paints and building products.
LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be employed as feedstocks in the production of ether sulphates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
In July 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC ethoxylates (APEO) “….relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, nonylphenol ethoxylates….” in the Official Journal.
This legislation was introduced in response to demands to minimise the risks posed by nonylphenol that were identified in the EU Risk Assessment.

This legislation has been in force since January 2005.
The directive covers all applications that result in discharges, emissions or losses to the environment and has the aim of minimising discharges of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates into receiving waters.

Nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates may only be brought into circulation at concentrations of less than 0.1 % w/w as substances or as ingredients of preparations in applications in which they are discharged.
The applications that are affected by this directive include commercial cleaning, household cleaning and textile and leather processing.
These requirements also apply to products that are imported from outside Europe.

Properties of LUTENSOL TO 12:
LUTENSOL TO 2, TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7 and TO 8 are cloudy liquids at 23 °C which tend to form a sediment.
They are clear at 50 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 79, TO 89, TO 109, TO 129 and TO 389 are clear liquids at 23 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 are soft, slightly yellowish pastes.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL TO 12:
The LUTENSOL TO types are nonionic surfactants.
They are based on a saturated iso-C13 alcohol.

They conform to the following structural formula.
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = iso-C13H27
x = 2, 3, 5, 6, 6,5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20

The LUTENSOL TO types are manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Storage of LUTENSOL TO 12:
The LUTENSOL TO types should be stored indoors in a dry place.
Storerooms must not be overheated.

The LUTENSOL TO types are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20 °C.
The setting points of these products also need to be taken into account.

LUTENSOL TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 7, TO 8, TO 65 and TO 565 are cloudy liquids at room temperature, and they tend to form a sediment.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to ca. 50 °C.
Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of sedimentation should be heated to 50 – 60 °C and homogenized before it is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.

This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

The LUTENSOL TO types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks (at 50 – 60 °C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant, gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils

Shelf life of LUTENSOL TO 12:
The LUTENSOL TO types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging, provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed.

Safety of LUTENSOL TO 12:
We know of no ill effects that could have resulted from using the LUTENSOL TO types for the purpose for which they are intended and from processing them in accordance with current practice.
According to the experience we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, the LUTENSOL TO types do not exert any harmful effects on health, provided that they are used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our safety data sheets are observed.

Main area of Lutensol TO 12's application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.

Because they are nonionic, the Lutensol TO 12 types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.
Lutensol TO 12 is fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulphates and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

Lutensol TO 12 is also compatible with the Protectol types (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our Lutensol A N, TO, AP, AT, EC, F, GD and ON types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper
range is also very good.

The versatility of the Lutensol TO 12 types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the Lutensol range.

Lutensol TO 12 is used in high-temperature powders:

Lutensol TO 12 is recommended for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with Lutensol AO types.

Lutensol TO 12 is used in powders for use at 60 °C:

STORAGE AND HANDLING


Lutensol TO 12 types should be stored indoors in a dry place.
Storerooms must not be overheated.

Lutensol TO 12 types are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly. Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20 °C.
The setting points of Lutensol TO 12 also need to be taken into account.

Lutensol TO 12 is cloudy liquids at room temperature, and it tends to form a sediment.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to ca. 50 °C.

Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of sedimentation should be heated to 50 – 60 °C and homogenized before it is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.
This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

Lutensol TO 12 types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks (at 50 – 60 °C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant, gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils.


Materials:

The following materials can be used for tanks and drums.

a) AISI 321 stainless steel (X6 CrNiTi 1810)
b) AISI 316 Ti stainless steel (X10 CrNiMoTi 1810)


Shelf life:

Provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed, the Lutensol TO 12 types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging.

All contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided.
Safety glasses should be worn when handling these products in their undiluted form.

LUTENSOL TO 129
LUTENSOL TO 129 is a non-ionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL TO 129 is C-13 oxo alcohol alkoxylates used as an industrial formulator.
The numeric code in LUTENSOL TO 129 name indicates the degree of ethoxylation.

EC Number: 500-027-2
CAS Number: 9043-30-5

LUTENSOL TO 129 is based on a saturated iso-C13-alcohol.

LUTENSOL TO 129 is manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation tempature is kept as low as possible.

This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

LUTENSOL TO 129 is a clear liquid at 23°C.
LUTENSOL TO 129 consists of approx. 85% LUTENSOL TO 12 and approx. 15% water.

LUTENSOL TO series products can be used as wetting agents, penetrants, emulsifiers, leveling agents, etc. in the textile industry.
In terms of pre-treatment auxiliary agents: (such as degreasing agent, refining agent, wool cleaning agent, etc.), adding a small amount of isomeric alcohol polyoxyethylene ether can obtain an excellent refining cleaning effect.

Two or more of the LUTENSOL TO series products are properly compounded to obtain a silicone oil emulsifier with excellent performance, which has a special emulsification effect on amino silicone oil and dimethyl silicone oil, and the amount of silicone oil is less than that of general emulsifiers.
The emulsion is more stable.

At the same time, LUTENSOL TO series products can also be used as raw materials for solvent-based cleaning agents, emulsifiers in emulsion polymerization, with extremely strong penetrating power, which can penetrate into the inside of fibers.

Applications of LUTENSOL TO 129:
The LUTENSOL TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL TO types can be combined very effectively with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit TC-ALB types), ether sulphates (Lutensit AS 2230) and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit KLC types (cationic products based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AP, AT, F, GD, ON, XA, XL and XP types, and with the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and our Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL TO types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied demands.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Laundry Detergents:
The LUTENSOL TO types and other similar nonionic surfactants have been gaining in importance in recent years, for the following reasons.

1. Detergent manufacturers have been working steadily for years to reduce the amount of pentasodium triphosphate (STP) in their products, or to eliminate LUTENSOL TO completely, for ecological reasons.
The proportion of nonionic surfactants in detergent formulations, in terms of their total surfactant content, has had to be increased to compensate for the drop in performance caused by replacing STP with other builders.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

2. Laundry detergents that contain predominately anionic surfactants are only really effective on cotton fabrics at high temperatures and at high concentrations.
Detergents, especially all-temperature detergents, have to contain a large proportion of nonionic surfactants if they are to provide acceptable results on cotton, synthetic fibres and blended fabrics.
The detergency of medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates is substantially better than that of anionic surfactants, especially in the low-to-medium temperature range and at reduced concentrations.

3. Medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used to control foaming in household detergents.
Their degree of ethoxylation can be in the lower or upper range, depending on the temperatures for which detergents are designed.
Detergents are often expected to produce different amounts of foam at different temperatures, and this is normally achieved simply by adjusting the proportions of linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, fatty alcohol sulphate, soap and nonionic surfactants, but special antifoams can be added if required.

4. Nonionic surfactants with ca. 7 mol of EO are the best choice for liquid laundry detergents, because they are the most effective in the 60°C temperature range.
The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12,
TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan).
LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15, TO 20 and TO 389 can be used to emulsify aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha.
LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used in emulsion polymerization process to emulsify monomers such as styrene, acrylic and vinyl compounds, either alone or in combination with anionic emulsifiers such as Emulphor OPS 25.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, can be their single most important attribute in situations in which sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL TO types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and they can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids, depending on the particular application.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL TO types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in many branches of industry in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes in aqueous media.

No specific recommendations can be made on account of the diversity of these processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many other applications for the LUTENSOL TO types in the manufacture of leather, paper, paints and building products.
LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be employed as feedstocks in the production of ether sulphates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
In July 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC ethoxylates (APEO) “….relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, nonylphenol ethoxylates….” in the Official Journal.
This legislation was introduced in response to demands to minimise the risks posed by nonylphenol that were identified in the EU Risk Assessment.

This legislation has been in force since January 2005.
The directive covers all applications that result in discharges, emissions or losses to the environment and has the aim of minimising discharges of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates into receiving waters.

Nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates may only be brought into circulation at concentrations of less than 0.1 % w/w as substances or as ingredients of preparations in applications in which they are discharged.
The applications that are affected by this directive include commercial cleaning, household cleaning and textile and leather processing.
These requirements also apply to products that are imported from outside Europe.

Properties of LUTENSOL TO 129:
LUTENSOL TO 2, TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7 and TO 8 are cloudy liquids at 23 °C which tend to form a sediment.
They are clear at 50 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 79, TO 89, TO 109, TO 129 and TO 389 are clear liquids at 23 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 are soft, slightly yellowish pastes.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL TO 129:
The LUTENSOL TO types are nonionic surfactants.
They are based on a saturated iso-C13 alcohol.

They conform to the following structural formula.
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = iso-C13H27
x = 2, 3, 5, 6, 6,5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20

The LUTENSOL TO types are manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Storage of LUTENSOL TO 129:
The LUTENSOL TO types should be stored indoors in a dry place.
Storerooms must not be overheated.

The LUTENSOL TO types are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20 °C.
The setting points of these products also need to be taken into account.

LUTENSOL TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 7, TO 8, TO 65 and TO 565 are cloudy liquids at room temperature, and they tend to form a sediment.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to ca. 50 °C.
Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of sedimentation should be heated to 50 – 60 °C and homogenized before it is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.

Shelf life of LUTENSOL TO 129:
The LUTENSOL TO types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging, provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed.

Safety of LUTENSOL TO 129:
We know of no ill effects that could have resulted from using the LUTENSOL TO types for the purpose for which they are intended and from processing them in accordance with current practice.
According to the experience we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, the LUTENSOL TO types do not exert any harmful effects on health, provided that they are used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our safety data sheets are observed.

LUTENSOL TO 15
LUTENSOL TO 15 is exhibits excellent surface activity and therefore an outstanding wetting action.
LUTENSOL TO 15 is good emulsifying properties.
LUTENSOL TO 15 is can be used as alternative to alkylphenol ethoxylates due to LUTENSOL TO 15 similar performance characteristics.

EC Number: 613-595-2
CAS Number: 64425-86-1

LUTENSOL TO 15 is a nonionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL TO 15 is based on a saturated iso-C13-alcohol.

LUTENSOL TO 15 is manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation tempature is kept as low as possible.

This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.
The numeric code in LUTENSOL TO 15 name indicates the degree of ethoxylation.
LUTENSOL TO 15 is a soft, slightly yellowish paste.

Applications of LUTENSOL TO 15:
The LUTENSOL TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL TO types can be combined very effectively with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit TC-ALB types), ether sulphates (Lutensit AS 2230) and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit KLC types (cationic products based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AP, AT, F, GD, ON, XA, XL and XP types, and with the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and our Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL TO types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied demands.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Laundry Detergents:
The LUTENSOL TO types and other similar nonionic surfactants have been gaining in importance in recent years, for the following reasons.

1. Detergent manufacturers have been working steadily for years to reduce the amount of pentasodium triphosphate (STP) in their products, or to eliminate LUTENSOL TO completely, for ecological reasons.
The proportion of nonionic surfactants in detergent formulations, in terms of their total surfactant content, has had to be increased to compensate for the drop in performance caused by replacing STP with other builders.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

2. Laundry detergents that contain predominately anionic surfactants are only really effective on cotton fabrics at high temperatures and at high concentrations.
Detergents, especially all-temperature detergents, have to contain a large proportion of nonionic surfactants if they are to provide acceptable results on cotton, synthetic fibres and blended fabrics.
The detergency of medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates is substantially better than that of anionic surfactants, especially in the low-to-medium temperature range and at reduced concentrations.

3. Medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used to control foaming in household detergents.
Their degree of ethoxylation can be in the lower or upper range, depending on the temperatures for which detergents are designed.
Detergents are often expected to produce different amounts of foam at different temperatures, and this is normally achieved simply by adjusting the proportions of linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, fatty alcohol sulphate, soap and nonionic surfactants, but special antifoams can be added if required.

4. Nonionic surfactants with ca. 7 mol of EO are the best choice for liquid laundry detergents, because they are the most effective in the 60°C temperature range.
The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan).
LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15, TO 20 and TO 389 can be used to emulsify aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha.
LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used in emulsion polymerization process to emulsify monomers such as styrene, acrylic and vinyl compounds, either alone or in combination with anionic emulsifiers such as Emulphor OPS 25.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, can be their single most important attribute in situations in which sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL TO types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and they can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids, depending on the particular application.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL TO types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in many branches of industry in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes in aqueous media.

No specific recommendations can be made on account of the diversity of these processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many other applications for the LUTENSOL TO types in the manufacture of leather, paper, paints and building products.
LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be employed as feedstocks in the production of ether sulphates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
In July 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC ethoxylates (APEO) “….relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, nonylphenol ethoxylates….” in the Official Journal.
This legislation was introduced in response to demands to minimise the risks posed by nonylphenol that were identified in the EU Risk Assessment.

This legislation has been in force since January 2005.
The directive covers all applications that result in discharges, emissions or losses to the environment and has the aim of minimising discharges of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates into receiving waters.

Nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates may only be brought into circulation at concentrations of less than 0.1 % w/w as substances or as ingredients of preparations in applications in which they are discharged.
The applications that are affected by this directive include commercial cleaning, household cleaning and textile and leather processing.
These requirements also apply to products that are imported from outside Europe.

Properties of LUTENSOL TO 15:
LUTENSOL TO 2, TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7 and TO 8 are cloudy liquids at 23 °C which tend to form a sediment.
They are clear at 50 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 79, TO 89, TO 109, TO 129 and TO 389 are clear liquids at 23 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 are soft, slightly yellowish pastes.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL TO 15:
The LUTENSOL TO types are nonionic surfactants.
They are based on a saturated iso-C13 alcohol.

They conform to the following structural formula.
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = iso-C13H27
x = 2, 3, 5, 6, 6,5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20

The LUTENSOL TO types are manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Storage of LUTENSOL TO 15:
The LUTENSOL TO types should be stored indoors in a dry place.
Storerooms must not be overheated.

The LUTENSOL TO types are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20 °C.
The setting points of these products also need to be taken into account.

LUTENSOL TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 7, TO 8, TO 65 and TO 565 are cloudy liquids at room temperature, and they tend to form a sediment.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to ca. 50 °C.
Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of sedimentation should be heated to 50 – 60 °C and homogenized before it is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.

This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

The LUTENSOL TO types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks (at 50 – 60 °C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant, gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils

Shelf life of LUTENSOL TO 15:
The LUTENSOL TO types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging, provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed.

Safety of LUTENSOL TO 15:
We know of no ill effects that could have resulted from using the LUTENSOL TO types for the purpose for which they are intended and from processing them in accordance with current practice.
According to the experience we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, the LUTENSOL TO types do not exert any harmful effects on health, provided that they are used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our safety data sheets are observed.

LUTENSOL TO 2
LUTENSOL TO 2 is nonionic surfactant for use in detergents and cleaners and for the chemical and allied industries.

LUTENSOL TO 2 is a nonionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL TO 2 is based on a saturated iso-C13-alcohol.

LUTENSOL TO 2 is manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation tempature is kept as low as possible.

This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.
The numeric code in LUTENSOL TO 2 name indicates the degree of ethoxylation.

LUTENSOL TO 2 is a cloudy liquid at 23°C, and LUTENSOL TO 2 tends to form a sediment.
LUTENSOL TO 2 is clear at 50°C.

Applications of LUTENSOL TO 2:
The LUTENSOL TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL TO types can be combined very effectively with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit TC-ALB types), ether sulphates (Lutensit AS 2230) and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit KLC types (cationic products based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AP, AT, F, GD, ON, XA, XL and XP types, and with the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and our Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL TO types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied demands.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Laundry Detergents:
The LUTENSOL TO types and other similar nonionic surfactants have been gaining in importance in recent years, for the following reasons.

1. Detergent manufacturers have been working steadily for years to reduce the amount of pentasodium triphosphate (STP) in their products, or to eliminate LUTENSOL TO completely, for ecological reasons.
The proportion of nonionic surfactants in detergent formulations, in terms of their total surfactant content, has had to be increased to compensate for the drop in performance caused by replacing STP with other builders.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

2. Laundry detergents that contain predominately anionic surfactants are only really effective on cotton fabrics at high temperatures and at high concentrations.
Detergents, especially all-temperature detergents, have to contain a large proportion of nonionic surfactants if they are to provide acceptable results on cotton, synthetic fibres and blended fabrics.
The detergency of medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates is substantially better than that of anionic surfactants, especially in the low-to-medium temperature range and at reduced concentrations.

3. Medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used to control foaming in household detergents.
Their degree of ethoxylation can be in the lower or upper range, depending on the temperatures for which detergents are designed.
Detergents are often expected to produce different amounts of foam at different temperatures, and this is normally achieved simply by adjusting the proportions of linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, fatty alcohol sulphate, soap and nonionic surfactants, but special antifoams can be added if required.

4. Nonionic surfactants with ca. 7 mol of EO are the best choice for liquid laundry detergents, because they are the most effective in the 60°C temperature range.
The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan). LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our
Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15, TO 20 and TO 389 can be used to emulsify aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha.
LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used in emulsion polymerization process to emulsify monomers such as styrene, acrylic and vinyl compounds, either alone or in combination with anionic emulsifiers such as Emulphor OPS 25.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, can be their single most important attribute in situations in which sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL TO types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and they can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids, depending on the particular application.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL TO types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in many branches of industry in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes in aqueous media.

No specific recommendations can be made on account of the diversity of these processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many other applications for the LUTENSOL TO types in the manufacture of leather, paper, paints and building products.
LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be employed as feedstocks in the production of ether sulphates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
In July 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC ethoxylates (APEO) “….relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, nonylphenol ethoxylates….” in the Official Journal.
This legislation was introduced in response to demands to minimise the risks posed by nonylphenol that were identified in the EU Risk Assessment.

This legislation has been in force since January 2005.
The directive covers all applications that result in discharges, emissions or losses to the environment and has the aim of minimising discharges of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates into receiving waters.

Nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates may only be brought into circulation at concentrations of less than 0.1 % w/w as substances or as ingredients of preparations in applications in which they are discharged.
The applications that are affected by this directive include commercial cleaning, household cleaning and textile and leather processing.
These requirements also apply to products that are imported from outside Europe.

LUTENSOL TO 20 is manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation tempature is kept as low as possible.

This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Uses of LUTENSOL TO 20:
Food and Beverage Processing,

Institutional Cleaning and Sanitation.

Applications of LUTENSOL TO 20:
The LUTENSOL TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they display.

This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit KLC types (cationic products based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AP, AT, F, GD, ON, XA, XL and XP types, and with the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and our Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL TO types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied demands.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Laundry Detergents:
The LUTENSOL TO types and other similar nonionic surfactants have been gaining in importance in recent years, for the following reasons.

1. Detergent manufacturers have been working steadily for years to reduce the amount of pentasodium triphosphate (STP) in their products, or to eliminate LUTENSOL TO completely, for ecological reasons.
The proportion of nonionic surfactants in detergent formulations, in terms of their total surfactant content, has had to be increased to compensate for the drop in performance caused by replacing STP with other builders.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan).
LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15, TO 20 and TO 389 can be used to emulsify aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha.
LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used in emulsion polymerization process to emulsify monomers such as styrene, acrylic and vinyl compounds, either alone or in combination with anionic emulsifiers such as Emulphor OPS 25.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, can be their single most important attribute in situations in which sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL TO types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and they can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids, depending on the particular application.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL TO types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in many branches of industry in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes in aqueous media.

No specific recommendations can be made on account of the diversity of these processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many other applications for the LUTENSOL TO types in the manufacture of leather, paper, paints and building products.
LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be employed as feedstocks in the production of ether sulphates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
In July 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC ethoxylates (APEO) “….relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, nonylphenol ethoxylates….” in the Official Journal.
This legislation was introduced in response to demands to minimise the risks posed by nonylphenol that were identified in the EU Risk Assessment.

This legislation has been in force since January 2005.
The directive covers all applications that result in discharges, emissions or losses to the environment and has the aim of minimising discharges of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates into receiving waters.

Nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates may only be brought into circulation at concentrations of less than 0.1 % w/w as substances or as ingredients of preparations in applications in which they are discharged.
The applications that are affected by this directive include commercial cleaning, household cleaning and textile and leather processing.
These requirements also apply to products that are imported from outside Europe.

Properties of LUTENSOL TO 20:
LUTENSOL TO 2, TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7 and TO 8 are cloudy liquids at 23 °C which tend to form a sediment.
They are clear at 50 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 79, TO 89, TO 109, TO 129 and TO 389 are clear liquids at 23 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 are soft, slightly yellowish pastes.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL TO 20:
The LUTENSOL TO types are nonionic surfactants.
They are based on a saturated iso-C13 alcohol.

They conform to the following structural formula.
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = iso-C13H27
x = 2, 3, 5, 6, 6,5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20

The LUTENSOL TO types are manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Storage of LUTENSOL TO 20:
The LUTENSOL TO types should be stored indoors in a dry place.
Storerooms must not be overheated.

The LUTENSOL TO types are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20 °C.
The setting points of these products also need to be taken into account.

LUTENSOL TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 7, TO 8, TO 65 and TO 565 are cloudy liquids at room temperature, and they tend to form a sediment.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to ca. 50 °C.
Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of sedimentation should be heated to 50 – 60 °C and homogenized before it is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.

This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

The LUTENSOL TO types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks (at 50 – 60 °C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant, gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils

Shelf life of LUTENSOL TO 20:
The LUTENSOL TO types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging, provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed.

Safety of LUTENSOL TO 20:
We know of no ill effects that could have resulted from using the LUTENSOL TO types for the purpose for which they are intended and from processing them in accordance with current practice.
According to the experience we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, the LUTENSOL TO types do not exert any harmful effects on health, provided that they are used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our safety data sheets are observed.

LUTENSOL TO 3
LUTENSOL TO 3 is a nonionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL TO 3 is based on a saturated iso-C13-alcohol.
LUTENSOL TO 3 is manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.

CAS Number: 9043-30-5

The ethoxylation tempature is kept as low as possible.

This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.
The numeric code in the product name indicates the degree of ethoxylation.

LUTENSOL TO 3 is a cloudy liquid at 23°C, and LUTENSOL TO 3 tends to form a sediment.
LUTENSOL TO 3 is clear at 50°C.

LUTENSOL TO 3 is nonionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL TO 3 is low lather detergent.

LUTENSOL TO 3 is can be used as an emulsifier and co-emulsifier.
LUTENSOL TO 3 is biodegradable.

Example of Use of LUTENSOL TO 3:
The LUTENSOL TO 3 has excellent wetting properties and LUTENSOL TO 3 is very effective emulsifiers in combination with other composition, and can be degraded absolutely.
LUTENSOL TO 3 has established itself in detergent and cleaner, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they displayed.

The main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.

Applications of LUTENSOL TO 3:
The LUTENSOL TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL TO types can be combined very effectively with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit TC-ALB types), ether sulphates (Lutensit AS 2230) and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit KLC types (cationic products based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AP, AT, F, GD, ON, XA, XL and XP types, and with the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and our Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL TO types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied demands.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Laundry Detergents:
The LUTENSOL TO types and other similar nonionic surfactants have been gaining in importance in recent years, for the following reasons.

1. Detergent manufacturers have been working steadily for years to reduce the amount of pentasodium triphosphate (STP) in their products, or to eliminate LUTENSOL TO completely, for ecological reasons.
The proportion of nonionic surfactants in detergent formulations, in terms of their total surfactant content, has had to be increased to compensate for the drop in performance caused by replacing STP with other builders.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

2. Laundry detergents that contain predominately anionic surfactants are only really effective on cotton fabrics at high temperatures and at high concentrations.
Detergents, especially all-temperature detergents, have to contain a large proportion of nonionic surfactants if they are to provide acceptable results on cotton, synthetic fibres and blended fabrics.
The detergency of medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates is substantially better than that of anionic surfactants, especially in the low-to-medium temperature range and at reduced concentrations.

3. Medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used to control foaming in household detergents.
Their degree of ethoxylation can be in the lower or upper range, depending on the temperatures for which detergents are designed.
Detergents are often expected to produce different amounts of foam at different temperatures, and this is normally achieved simply by adjusting the proportions of linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, fatty alcohol sulphate, soap and nonionic surfactants, but special antifoams can be added if required.

4. Nonionic surfactants with ca. 7 mol of EO are the best choice for liquid laundry detergents, because they are the most effective in the 60°C temperature range.
The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12,
TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan). LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our
Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15, TO 20 and TO 389 can be used to emulsify aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha.
LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used in emulsion polymerization process to emulsify monomers such as styrene, acrylic and vinyl compounds, either alone or in combination with anionic emulsifiers such as Emulphor OPS 25.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, can be their single most important attribute in situations in which sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL TO types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and they can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids, depending on the particular application.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL TO types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in many branches of industry in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes in aqueous media.

No specific recommendations can be made on account of the diversity of these processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many other applications for the LUTENSOL TO types in the manufacture of leather, paper, paints and building products.
LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be employed as feedstocks in the production of ether sulphates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
In July 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC ethoxylates (APEO) “….relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, nonylphenol ethoxylates….” in the Official Journal.
This legislation was introduced in response to demands to minimise the risks posed by nonylphenol that were identified in the EU Risk Assessment.

This legislation has been in force since January 2005.
The directive covers all applications that result in discharges, emissions or losses to the environment and has the aim of minimising discharges of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates into receiving waters.

Nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates may only be brought into circulation at concentrations of less than 0.1 % w/w as substances or as ingredients of preparations in applications in which they are discharged.
The applications that are affected by this directive include commercial cleaning, household cleaning and textile and leather processing.
These requirements also apply to products that are imported from outside Europe.

Properties of LUTENSOL TO 3:
LUTENSOL TO 2, TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7 and TO 8 are cloudy liquids at 23 °C which tend to form a sediment.
T hey are clear at 50 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 79, TO 89, TO 109, TO 129 and TO 389 are clear liquids at 23 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 are soft, slightly yellowish pastes.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL TO 3:
The LUTENSOL TO types are nonionic surfactants.
They are based on a saturated iso-C13 alcohol.

They conform to the following structural formula.
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = iso-C13H27
x = 2, 3, 5, 6, 6,5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20

The LUTENSOL TO types are manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Storage of LUTENSOL TO 3:
The Lutensol TO types should be stored indoors in a dry place.
Storerooms must not be overheated.

The Lutensol TO types are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20 °C.
The setting points of these products also need to be taken into account.

Lutensol TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 7, TO 8, TO 65 and TO 565 are cloudy liquids at room temperature, and they tend to form a sediment.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to ca. 50 °C.

Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of sedimentation should be heated to 50 – 60 °C and homogenized before it is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.

This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

The Lutensol TO types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks (at 50 – 60 °C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant, gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils

Shelf life of LUTENSOL TO 3:
The LUTENSOL TO types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging, provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed.

Safety of LUTENSOL TO 3:
We know of no ill effects that could have resulted from using the LUTENSOL TO types for the purpose for which they are intended and from processing them in accordance with current practice.
According to the experience we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, the LUTENSOL TO types do not exert any harmful effects on health, provided that they are used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our safety data sheets are observed.

LUTENSOL TO 389
LUTENSOL TO 389 is exhibits excellent surface activity and therefore an outstanding wetting action.
LUTENSOL TO 389 is good emulsifying properties.
LUTENSOL TO 389 is can be used as alternative to alkylphenol ethoxylates due to LUTENSOL TO 389 similar performance characteristics.

LUTENSOL TO 389 is a nonionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL TO 389 is based on a saturated iso-C13-alcohol.

LUTENSOL TO 389 is manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation tempature is kept as low as possible.

This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.
The numeric code in LUTENSOL TO 389 name indicates the degree of ethoxylation.

LUTENSOL TO 389 is a clear liquid at 23°C.
LUTENSOL TO 389 is a special mixture of LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 8 with an active content of approx. 90% and approx. 10% water.

LUTENSOL TO series products can be used as wetting agents, penetrants, emulsifiers, leveling agents, etc. in the textile industry.
In terms of pre-treatment auxiliary agents: (such as degreasing agent, refining agent, wool cleaning agent, etc.), adding a small amount of isomeric alcohol polyoxyethylene ether can obtain an excellent refining cleaning effect.

Two or more of the LUTENSOL TO series products are properly compounded to obtain a silicone oil emulsifier with excellent performance, which has a special emulsification effect on amino silicone oil and dimethyl silicone oil, and the amount of silicone oil is less than that of general emulsifiers.
The emulsion is more stable.

At the same time, LUTENSOL TO series products can also be used as raw materials for solvent-based cleaning agents, emulsifiers in emulsion polymerization, with extremely strong penetrating power, which can penetrate into the inside of fibers.

Applications of LUTENSOL TO 389:
The LUTENSOL TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL TO types can be combined very effectively with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit TC-ALB types), ether sulphates (Lutensit AS 2230) and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit KLC types (cationic products based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AP, AT, F, GD, ON, XA, XL and XP types, and with the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and our Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL TO types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied demands.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Laundry Detergents:
The LUTENSOL TO types and other similar nonionic surfactants have been gaining in importance in recent years, for the following reasons.

1. Detergent manufacturers have been working steadily for years to reduce the amount of pentasodium triphosphate (STP) in their products, or to eliminate LUTENSOL TO completely, for ecological reasons.
The proportion of nonionic surfactants in detergent formulations, in terms of their total surfactant content, has had to be increased to compensate for the drop in performance caused by replacing STP with other builders.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

2. Laundry detergents that contain predominately anionic surfactants are only really effective on cotton fabrics at high temperatures and at high concentrations.
Detergents, especially all-temperature detergents, have to contain a large proportion of nonionic surfactants if they are to provide acceptable results on cotton, synthetic fibres and blended fabrics.
The detergency of medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates is substantially better than that of anionic surfactants, especially in the low-to-medium temperature range and at reduced concentrations.

3. Medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used to control foaming in household detergents.
Their degree of ethoxylation can be in the lower or upper range, depending on the temperatures for which detergents are designed.
Detergents are often expected to produce different amounts of foam at different temperatures, and this is normally achieved simply by adjusting the proportions of linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, fatty alcohol sulphate, soap and nonionic surfactants, but special antifoams can be added if required.

4. Nonionic surfactants with ca. 7 mol of EO are the best choice for liquid laundry detergents, because they are the most effective in the 60°C temperature range.
The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan).
LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5
LUTENSOL TO 5 is a nonionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL TO 5 is based on a saturated iso-C13-alcohol.
LUTENSOL TO 5 is manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.

CAS Number: 69011-36-5

The ethoxylation tempature is kept as low as possible.

This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.
The numeric code in LUTENSOL TO 5 name indicates the degree of ethoxylation.

LUTENSOL TO 5 is a cloudy liquid at 23°C, and LUTENSOL TO 5 tends to form a sediment.
LUTENSOL TO 5 is clear at 50°C.

LUTENSOL TO 5 is exhibits excellent surface activity and therefore an outstanding wetting action.
LUTENSOL TO 5 is has good emulsifying properties.
LUTENSOL TO 5 is can be used as alternative to alkylphenol ethoxylates due to LUTENSOL TO 5 similar performance characteristics.

LUTENSOL TO 5 is a nonionic surfactant.

LUTENSOL TO 5 is manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation tempature is kept as low as possible.

The LUTENSOL TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.

Applications of LUTENSOL TO 5:
The LUTENSOL TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL TO types can be combined very effectively with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit TC-ALB types), ether sulphates (Lutensit AS 2230) and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit KLC types (cationic products based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AP, AT, F, GD, ON, XA, XL and XP types, and with the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and our Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL TO types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied demands.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Laundry Detergents:
The LUTENSOL TO types and other similar nonionic surfactants have been gaining in importance in recent years, for the following reasons.

1. Detergent manufacturers have been working steadily for years to reduce the amount of pentasodium triphosphate (STP) in their products, or to eliminate LUTENSOL TO completely, for ecological reasons.
The proportion of nonionic surfactants in detergent formulations, in terms of their total surfactant content, has had to be increased to compensate for the drop in performance caused by replacing STP with other builders.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

2. Laundry detergents that contain predominately anionic surfactants are only really effective on cotton fabrics at high temperatures and at high concentrations.
Detergents, especially all-temperature detergents, have to contain a large proportion of nonionic surfactants if they are to provide acceptable results on cotton, synthetic fibres and blended fabrics.
The detergency of medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates is substantially better than that of anionic surfactants, especially in the low-to-medium temperature range and at reduced concentrations.

3. Medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used to control foaming in household detergents.
Their degree of ethoxylation can be in the lower or upper range, depending on the temperatures for which detergents are designed.
Detergents are often expected to produce different amounts of foam at different temperatures, and this is normally achieved simply by adjusting the proportions of linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, fatty alcohol sulphate, soap and nonionic surfactants, but special antifoams can be added if required.

4. Nonionic surfactants with ca. 7 mol of EO are the best choice for liquid laundry detergents, because they are the most effective in the 60°C temperature range.
The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan). LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our
Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15, TO 20 and TO 389 can be used to emulsify aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha.
LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used in emulsion polymerization process to emulsify monomers such as styrene, acrylic and vinyl compounds, either alone or in combination with anionic emulsifiers such as Emulphor OPS 25.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, can be their single most important attribute in situations in which sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL TO types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and they can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids, depending on the particular application.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL TO types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in many branches of industry in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes in aqueous media.

No specific recommendations can be made on account of the diversity of these processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many other applications for the LUTENSOL TO types in the manufacture of leather, paper, paints and building products.
LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be employed as feedstocks in the production of ether sulphates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
In July 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC ethoxylates (APEO) “….relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, nonylphenol ethoxylates….” in the Official Journal.
This legislation was introduced in response to demands to minimise the risks posed by nonylphenol that were identified in the EU Risk Assessment.

This legislation has been in force since January 2005.
The directive covers all applications that result in discharges, emissions or losses to the environment and has the aim of minimising discharges of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates into receiving waters.

Nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates may only be brought into circulation at concentrations of less than 0.1 % w/w as substances or as ingredients of preparations in applications in which they are discharged.
The applications that are affected by this directive include commercial cleaning, household cleaning and textile and leather processing.
These requirements also apply to products that are imported from outside Europe.

Properties of LUTENSOL TO 5:
LUTENSOL TO 2, TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7 and TO 8 are cloudy liquids at 23 °C which tend to form a sediment.
T hey are clear at 50 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 79, TO 89, TO 109, TO 129 and TO 389 are clear liquids at 23 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 are soft, slightly yellowish pastes.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL TO 5:
The LUTENSOL TO types are nonionic surfactants.
They are based on a saturated iso-C13 alcohol.

They conform to the following structural formula.
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = iso-C13H27
x = 2, 3, 5, 6, 6,5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20

The numeric code in the product name indicates the degree of ethoxylation.

LUTENSOL TO 79 consists of approx. 90 % LUTENSOL TO 7 and approx. 10 % water.

LUTENSOL TO 89 consists of approx. 90 % LUTENSOL TO 8 and approx. 10 % water.

LUTENSOL TO 109 consists of approx. 85 % LUTENSOL TO 10 and approx. 15 % water.

LUTENSOL TO 129 consists of approx. 85 % LUTENSOL TO 12 and approx. 15 % water.

LUTENSOL TO 389 is a special mixture of LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 8 with an active content of approx. 90 % and a water content of approx. 10 %.

The LUTENSOL TO types are manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Storage of LUTENSOL TO 5:
The LUTENSOL TO types should be stored indoors in a dry place.
Storerooms must not be overheated.

The LUTENSOL TO types are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20 °C.
The setting points of these products also need to be taken into account.

LUTENSOL TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 7, TO 8, TO 65 and TO 565 are cloudy liquids at room temperature, and they tend to form a sediment.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to ca. 50 °C.

Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of sedimentation should be heated to 50 – 60 °C and homogenized before it is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.

This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

The LUTENSOL TO types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks (at 50 – 60 °C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant, gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils

Shelf life of LUTENSOL TO 5:
The LUTENSOL TO types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging, provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed.

LUTENSOL TO 6
LUTENSOL TO 6 is a non-ionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL TO 6 is C-13 oxo alcohol alkoxylates used as an industrial formulator.
LUTENSOL TO 6's is ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.

CAS Number: 160875-66-1

LUTENSOL TO 6 is manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
LUTENSOL TO 6 is a nonionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL TO 6 is based on a saturated iso-C13-alcohol.

This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.
The numeric code in LUTENSOL TO 6 name indicates the degree of ethoxylation.

LUTENSOL TO 6 is a cloudy liquid at 23°C, and LUTENSOL TO 6 tends to form a sediment.
LUTENSOL TO 6 is clear at 50°C.

LUTENSOL TO series products can be used as wetting agents, penetrants, emulsifiers, leveling agents, etc. in the textile industry.
In terms of pre-treatment auxiliary agents: (such as degreasing agent, refining agent, wool cleaning agent, etc.), adding a small amount of isomeric alcohol polyoxyethylene ether can obtain an excellent refining cleaning effect;

Two or more of the LUTENSOL TO series products are properly compounded to obtain a silicone oil emulsifier with excellent performance, which has a special emulsification effect on amino silicone oil and dimethyl silicone oil, and the amount of silicone oil is less than that of general emulsifiers.
The emulsion is more stable.

At the same time, LUTENSOL TO series products can also be used as raw materials for solvent-based cleaning agents, emulsifiers in emulsion polymerization, with extremely strong penetrating power, which can penetrate into the inside of fibers.

Example of Use of LUTENSOL TO 6:
The LUTENSOL TO 6 has excellent wetting properties and LUTENSOL TO 6 is very effective emulsifiers in combination with other composition, and can be degraded absolutely.
LUTENSOL TO 6 has established itself in detergent and cleaner, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they displayed.

LUTENSOL TO 6 can be used as alternative to alkylphenol ethoxylates due to LUTENSOL TO 6 similar performance characteristics.
The main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use

Applications of LUTENSOL TO 6:
The LUTENSOL TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL TO types can be combined very effectively with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit TC-ALB types), ether sulphates (Lutensit AS 2230) and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit KLC types (cationic products based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AP, AT, F, GD, ON, XA, XL and XP types, and with the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and our Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL TO types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied demands.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Laundry Detergents:
The LUTENSOL TO types and other similar nonionic surfactants have been gaining in importance in recent years, for the following reasons.

1. Detergent manufacturers have been working steadily for years to reduce the amount of pentasodium triphosphate (STP) in their products, or to eliminate LUTENSOL TO completely, for ecological reasons.
The proportion of nonionic surfactants in detergent formulations, in terms of their total surfactant content, has had to be increased to compensate for the drop in performance caused by replacing STP with other builders.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

2. Laundry detergents that contain predominately anionic surfactants are only really effective on cotton fabrics at high temperatures and at high concentrations.
Detergents, especially all-temperature detergents, have to contain a large proportion of nonionic surfactants if they are to provide acceptable results on cotton, synthetic fibres and blended fabrics.
The detergency of medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates is substantially better than that of anionic surfactants, especially in the low-to-medium temperature range and at reduced concentrations.

3. Medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used to control foaming in household detergents.
Their degree of ethoxylation can be in the lower or upper range, depending on the temperatures for which detergents are designed.
Detergents are often expected to produce different amounts of foam at different temperatures, and this is normally achieved simply by adjusting the proportions of linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, fatty alcohol sulphate, soap and nonionic surfactants, but special antifoams can be added if required.

4. Nonionic surfactants with ca. 7 mol of EO are the best choice for liquid laundry detergents, because they are the most effective in the 60°C temperature range.
The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan). LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our
Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15, TO 20 and TO 389 can be used to emulsify aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha.
LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used in emulsion polymerization process to emulsify monomers such as styrene, acrylic and vinyl compounds, either alone or in combination with anionic emulsifiers such as Emulphor OPS 25.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, can be their single most important attribute in situations in which sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL TO types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and they can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids, depending on the particular application.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL TO types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in many branches of industry in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes in aqueous media.

No specific recommendations can be made on account of the diversity of these processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many other applications for the LUTENSOL TO types in the manufacture of leather, paper, paints and building products.
LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be employed as feedstocks in the production of ether sulphates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
In July 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC ethoxylates (APEO) “….relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, nonylphenol ethoxylates….” in the Official Journal.
This legislation was introduced in response to demands to minimise the risks posed by nonylphenol that were identified in the EU Risk Assessment.

This legislation has been in force since January 2005.
The directive covers all applications that result in discharges, emissions or losses to the environment and has the aim of minimising discharges of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates into receiving waters.

Nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates may only be brought into circulation at concentrations of less than 0.1 % w/w as substances or as ingredients of preparations in applications in which they are discharged.
The applications that are affected by this directive include commercial cleaning, household cleaning and textile and leather processing.
These requirements also apply to products that are imported from outside Europe.

Properties of LUTENSOL TO 6:
LUTENSOL TO 2, TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7 and TO 8 are cloudy liquids at 23 °C which tend to form a sediment.
They are clear at 50 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 79, TO 89, TO 109, TO 129 and TO 389 are clear liquids at 23 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 are soft, slightly yellowish pastes.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL TO 6:
The LUTENSOL TO types are nonionic surfactants.
They are based on a saturated iso-C13 alcohol.

They conform to the following structural formula.
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = iso-C13H27
x = 2, 3, 5, 6, 6,5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20

The LUTENSOL TO types are manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.

Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL TO types can be combined very effectively with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit TC-ALB types), ether sulphates (Lutensit AS 2230) and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit KLC types (cationic products based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AP, AT, F, GD, ON, XA, XL and XP types, and with the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and our Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL TO types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied demands.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Laundry Detergents:
The LUTENSOL TO types and other similar nonionic surfactants have been gaining in importance in recent years, for the following reasons.

1. Detergent manufacturers have been working steadily for years to reduce the amount of pentasodium triphosphate (STP) in their products, or to eliminate LUTENSOL TO completely, for ecological reasons.
The proportion of nonionic surfactants in detergent formulations, in terms of their total surfactant content, has had to be increased to compensate for the drop in performance caused by replacing STP with other builders.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

2. Laundry detergents that contain predominately anionic surfactants are only really effective on cotton fabrics at high temperatures and at high concentrations.
Detergents, especially all-temperature detergents, have to contain a large proportion of nonionic surfactants if they are to provide acceptable results on cotton, synthetic fibres and blended fabrics.
The detergency of medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates is substantially better than that of anionic surfactants, especially in the low-to-medium temperature range and at reduced concentrations.

3. Medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used to control foaming in household detergents.
Their degree of ethoxylation can be in the lower or upper range, depending on the temperatures for which detergents are designed.
Detergents are often expected to produce different amounts of foam at different temperatures, and this is normally achieved simply by adjusting the proportions of linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, fatty alcohol sulphate, soap and nonionic surfactants, but special antifoams can be added if required.

4. Nonionic surfactants with ca. 7 mol of EO are the best choice for liquid laundry detergents, because they are the most effective in the 60°C temperature range.
The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12,
TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan).
LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15, TO 20 and TO 389 can be used to emulsify aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha.
LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used in emulsion polymerization process to emulsify monomers such as styrene, acrylic and vinyl compounds, either alone or in combination with anionic emulsifiers such as Emulphor OPS 25.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, can be their single most important attribute in situations in which sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL TO types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and they can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids, depending on the particular application.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL TO types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in many branches of industry in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes in aqueous media.

No specific recommendations can be made on account of the diversity of these processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many other applications for the LUTENSOL TO types in the manufacture of leather, paper, paints and building products.
LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be employed as feedstocks in the production of ether sulphates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
In July 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC ethoxylates (APEO) “….relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, nonylphenol ethoxylates….” in the Official Journal.
This legislation was introduced in response to demands to minimise the risks posed by nonylphenol that were identified in the EU Risk Assessment.

This legislation has been in force since January 2005.
The directive covers all applications that result in discharges, emissions or losses to the environment and has the aim of minimising discharges of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates into receiving waters.

Nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates may only be brought into circulation at concentrations of less than 0.1 % w/w as substances or as ingredients of preparations in applications in which they are discharged.
The applications that are affected by this directive include commercial cleaning, household cleaning and textile and leather processing.
These requirements also apply to products that are imported from outside Europe.

Properties of LUTENSOL TO 65:
LUTENSOL TO 2, TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7 and TO 8 are cloudy liquids at 23 °C which tend to form a sediment.
They are clear at 50 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 79, TO 89, TO 109, TO 129 and TO 389 are clear liquids at 23 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 are soft, slightly yellowish pastes.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL TO 65:
The LUTENSOL TO types are nonionic surfactants.
They are based on a saturated iso-C13 alcohol.

They conform to the following structural formula.
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = iso-C13H27
x = 2, 3, 5, 6, 6,5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20

The LUTENSOL TO types are manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Storage of LUTENSOL TO 65:
The LUTENSOL TO types should be stored indoors in a dry place.
Storerooms must not be overheated.

The LUTENSOL TO types are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20 °C.
The setting points of these products also need to be taken into account.

LUTENSOL TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 7, TO 8, TO 65 and TO 565 are cloudy liquids at room temperature, and they tend to form a sediment.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to ca. 50 °C.
Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of sedimentation should be heated to 50 – 60 °C and homogenized before it is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.

This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

The LUTENSOL TO types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks (at 50 – 60 °C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant, gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils

Shelf life of LUTENSOL TO 65:
The LUTENSOL TO types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging, provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed.

Safety of LUTENSOL TO 65:
We know of no ill effects that could have resulted from using the LUTENSOL TO types for the purpose for which they are intended and from processing them in accordance with current practice.
According to the experience we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, the LUTENSOL TO types do not exert any harmful effects on health, provided that they are used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our safety data sheets are observed.

Applications of LUTENSOL TO 7:
The LUTENSOL TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL TO types can be combined very effectively with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit TC-ALB types), ether sulphates (Lutensit AS 2230) and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit KLC types (cationic products based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AP, AT, F, GD, ON, XA, XL and XP types, and with the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and our Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL TO types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied demands.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Laundry Detergents:
The LUTENSOL TO types and other similar nonionic surfactants have been gaining in importance in recent years, for the following reasons.

1. Detergent manufacturers have been working steadily for years to reduce the amount of pentasodium triphosphate (STP) in their products, or to eliminate LUTENSOL TO completely, for ecological reasons.
The proportion of nonionic surfactants in detergent formulations, in terms of their total surfactant content, has had to be increased to compensate for the drop in performance caused by replacing STP with other builders.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

2. Laundry detergents that contain predominately anionic surfactants are only really effective on cotton fabrics at high temperatures and at high concentrations.
Detergents, especially all-temperature detergents, have to contain a large proportion of nonionic surfactants if they are to provide acceptable results on cotton, synthetic fibres and blended fabrics.
The detergency of medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates is substantially better than that of anionic surfactants, especially in the low-to-medium temperature range and at reduced concentrations.

3. Medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used to control foaming in household detergents.
Their degree of ethoxylation can be in the lower or upper range, depending on the temperatures for which detergents are designed.
Detergents are often expected to produce different amounts of foam at different temperatures, and this is normally achieved simply by adjusting the proportions of linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, fatty alcohol sulphate, soap and nonionic surfactants, but special antifoams can be added if required.

4. Nonionic surfactants with ca. 7 mol of EO are the best choice for liquid laundry detergents, because they are the most effective in the 60°C temperature range.
The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan). LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our
Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15, TO 20 and TO 389 can be used to emulsify aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha.
LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used in emulsion polymerization process to emulsify monomers such as styrene, acrylic and vinyl compounds, either alone or in combination with anionic emulsifiers such as Emulphor OPS 25.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, can be their single most important attribute in situations in which sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL TO types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and they can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids, depending on the particular application.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL TO types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in many branches of industry in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes in aqueous media.

No specific recommendations can be made on account of the diversity of these processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many other applications for the LUTENSOL TO types in the manufacture of leather, paper, paints and building products.
LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be employed as feedstocks in the production of ether sulphates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
In July 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC ethoxylates (APEO) “….relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, nonylphenol ethoxylates….” in the Official Journal.

The directive covers all applications that result in discharges, emissions or losses to the environment and has the aim of minimising discharges of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates into receiving waters.

Nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates may only be brought into circulation at concentrations of less than 0.1 % w/w as substances or as ingredients of preparations in applications in which they are discharged.
The applications that are affected by this directive include commercial cleaning, household cleaning and textile and leather processing.
These requirements also apply to products that are imported from outside Europe.

The LUTENSOL TO types are manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Storage of LUTENSOL TO 7:
The LUTENSOL TO types should be stored indoors in a dry place.
Storerooms must not be overheated.

The LUTENSOL TO types are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20 °C.
The setting points of these products also need to be taken into account.

LUTENSOL TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 7, TO 8, TO 65 and TO 565 are cloudy liquids at room temperature, and they tend to form a sediment.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to ca. 50 °C.
Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of sedimentation should be heated to 50 – 60 °C and homogenized before it is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.

This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

The LUTENSOL TO types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks (at 50 – 60 °C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant, gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils

Shelf life of LUTENSOL TO 7:
The LUTENSOL TO types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging, provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed.

Safety of LUTENSOL TO 7:
We know of no ill effects that could have resulted from using the LUTENSOL TO types for the purpose for which they are intended and from processing them in accordance with current practice.
According to the experience we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, the LUTENSOL TO types do not exert any harmful effects on health, provided that they are used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our safety data sheets are observed.

Uses of LUTENSOL TO 8:
Dishwashing,
Laundry,
Food and Beverage Processing,
Food Service and Kitchen Hygiene,
Commercial Laundry,
Institutional Cleaning and Sanitation,
Vehicle and Transportation Care.

Applications of LUTENSOL TO 8:
The LUTENSOL TO types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity that they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL TO types can be combined very effectively with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit TC-ALB types), ether sulphates (Lutensit AS 2230) and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit KLC types (cationic products based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AP, AT, F, GD, ON, XA, XL and XP types, and with the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and our Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL TO types is such that they can be used to formulate acid, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied demands.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Laundry Detergents:
The LUTENSOL TO types and other similar nonionic surfactants have been gaining in importance in recent years, for the following reasons.

1. Detergent manufacturers have been working steadily for years to reduce the amount of pentasodium triphosphate (STP) in their products, or to eliminate LUTENSOL TO completely, for ecological reasons.
The proportion of nonionic surfactants in detergent formulations, in terms of their total surfactant content, has had to be increased to compensate for the drop in performance caused by replacing STP with other builders.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

2. Laundry detergents that contain predominately anionic surfactants are only really effective on cotton fabrics at high temperatures and at high concentrations.
Detergents, especially all-temperature detergents, have to contain a large proportion of nonionic surfactants if they are to provide acceptable results on cotton, synthetic fibres and blended fabrics.
The detergency of medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates is substantially better than that of anionic surfactants, especially in the low-to-medium temperature range and at reduced concentrations.

3. Medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used to control foaming in household detergents.
Their degree of ethoxylation can be in the lower or upper range, depending on the temperatures for which detergents are designed.
Detergents are often expected to produce different amounts of foam at different temperatures, and this is normally achieved simply by adjusting the proportions of linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, fatty alcohol sulphate, soap and nonionic surfactants, but special antifoams can be added if required.

4. Nonionic surfactants with ca. 7 mol of EO are the best choice for liquid laundry detergents, because they are the most effective in the 60°C temperature range.
The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan). LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our
Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15, TO 20 and TO 389 can be used to emulsify aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha.
LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used in emulsion polymerization process to emulsify monomers such as styrene, acrylic and vinyl compounds, either alone or in combination with anionic emulsifiers such as Emulphor OPS 25.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, can be their single most important attribute in situations in which sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL TO types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and they can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids, depending on the particular application.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL TO types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in many branches of industry in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes in aqueous media.

No specific recommendations can be made on account of the diversity of these processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many other applications for the LUTENSOL TO types in the manufacture of leather, paper, paints and building products.
LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be employed as feedstocks in the production of ether sulphates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
In July 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC ethoxylates (APEO) “….relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, nonylphenol ethoxylates….” in the Official Journal.
This legislation was introduced in response to demands to minimise the risks posed by nonylphenol that were identified in the EU Risk Assessment.

This legislation has been in force since January 2005.
The directive covers all applications that result in discharges, emissions or losses to the environment and has the aim of minimising discharges of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates into receiving waters.

Nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates may only be brought into circulation at concentrations of less than 0.1 % w/w as substances or as ingredients of preparations in applications in which they are discharged.
The applications that are affected by this directive include commercial cleaning, household cleaning and textile and leather processing.
These requirements also apply to products that are imported from outside Europe.

Properties of LUTENSOL TO 8:
LUTENSOL TO 2, TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7 and TO 8 are cloudy liquids at 23 °C which tend to form a sediment.
They are clear at 50 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 79, TO 89, TO 109, TO 129 and TO 389 are clear liquids at 23 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 are soft, slightly yellowish pastes.

Fatty alcohol ethoxylates, especially those with a medium-length alkyl chain, have been shown to provide substantial increases in detergency in extensive trials.

2. Laundry detergents that contain predominately anionic surfactants are only really effective on cotton fabrics at high temperatures and at high concentrations.
Detergents, especially all-temperature detergents, have to contain a large proportion of nonionic surfactants if they are to provide acceptable results on cotton, synthetic fibres and blended fabrics.
The detergency of medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates is substantially better than that of anionic surfactants, especially in the low-to-medium temperature range and at reduced concentrations.

3. Medium-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylates can be used to control foaming in household detergents.
Their degree of ethoxylation can be in the lower or upper range, depending on the temperatures for which detergents are designed.
Detergents are often expected to produce different amounts of foam at different temperatures, and this is normally achieved simply by adjusting the proportions of linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, fatty alcohol sulphate, soap and nonionic surfactants, but special antifoams can be added if required.

4. Nonionic surfactants with ca. 7 mol of EO are the best choice for liquid laundry detergents, because they are the most effective in the 60°C temperature range.
The popularity of LUTENSOL TO 7 and LUTENSOL TO 79 has been increasing in line with the increasing demand for household liquid detergents.
High-temperature powders We would recommend LUTENSOL TO 8, LUTENSOL TO 10, LUTENSOL TO 11 and LUTENSOL TO 12 for use at temperatures of up to 95 °C, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

Machine-washing detergents for The LUTENSOL TO types with a medium degree of ethoxylation perform use at 60°C best at 60 °C, and they perform well in low-phosphate and phosphate-free formulations.
We would therefore recommend using LUTENSOL TO 7, LUTENSOL TO 79, LUTENSOL TO 8 and LUTENSOL TO 89 here, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO types.

LUTENSOL TO 389 has been shown to perform very well in low-foaming, lowphosphate and phosphate-free detergents and in institutional laundry detergents, either alone or in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109.
LUTENSOL TO 389, TO 5, TO 6 and TO 65 have been shown to remove fatty soil very effectively in combination with LUTENSOL TO 8.

Combinations of LUTENSOL TO 5 or TO 6 and Plurafac LF 403 can be employed in low-foaming institutional laundry detergents for use at 60 – 70 °C.
Light-duty liquids and powders, LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 89 and TO 389 perform very well in detergents for wool, hand-washing detergents of this type in combination with LUTENSOL AO 3109 and detergents Plurafac LF 400 or Plurafac LF 401.

Cleaners:
The LUTENSOL TO types have high detergency and high soil-dispersing capacity, and they are very effective emulsifiers and wetting agents.
LUTENSOL TO is for this reason that they are frequently employed in detergents and cleaners and in other industrial processes that require this type of performance.

The LUTENSOL TO types with a low degree of ethoxylation perform very well as emulsifiers for mineral oils, which is particularly useful in cleaners that are applied cold.
The LUTENSOL TO types with a degree of ethoxylation in the middle of the range perform particularly well in all-purpose cleaners and in cleaners for industrial, household and institutional use that are applied at higher temperatures.

Large amounts of acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL TO types.

Electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL TO types to decompose, but they can cause surfactant solutions to become cloudy or to separate out.
Nevertheless, the performance of solutions of LUTENSOL TO types is not affected by turbidity provided they are still homogeneous.

Neutral Cleaners:
The water-soluble products in the range - LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 - perform particularly well in neutral cleaners in combination with anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (Lutensit TC-ALB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan CP and PA types) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL TO can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as Korantin MAT, Korantin PAT, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL TO 8 or TO 89 and LUTENSOL TO 10 or TO 109, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkalis and carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL TO is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO 11 and TO 12 perform best, in combination with anionic surfactants such as Lutensit TC-APS 35 and Lutensit TC-ALB types, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Tamol N types).
LUTENSOL TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can also be employed in liquid alkaline cleaners.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL TO 8, TO 10, TO11, TO 12, TO 89, TO 109 and TO 129 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or sulphamic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12 K, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH types, Korantin PM and Korantin PP.

Household cleaners:
Household cleaners are mostly neutral, but they can be slightly alkaline or slightly acidic.
They can be formulated with LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 79, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 89 and TO 109 together with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, chelating agents (Trilon) and dispersing agents (Sokalan).
LUTENSOL TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used alongside our Pluriol E types as binders for solid cleaners.

Solvent-based:
cleaners LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be used alongside Emulan P to emulsify hydrocarbons such as kerosene and white mineral spirits in emulsion-type cleaners and solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL TO types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be assessed according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL TO types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best emulsifiers or combinations of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

LUTENSOL TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15, TO 20 and TO 389 can be used to emulsify aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha.
LUTENSOL TO 7, TO 8, TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 can be used in emulsion polymerization process to emulsify monomers such as styrene, acrylic and vinyl compounds, either alone or in combination with anionic emulsifiers such as Emulphor OPS 25.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, can be their single most important attribute in situations in which sparingly soluble solids have to be dispersed in water, polar solvents or mixtures of water and solvents.
The LUTENSOL TO types are effective dispersing agents in grinding and milling processes, and they can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids, depending on the particular application.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL TO types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in many branches of industry in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes in aqueous media.

No specific recommendations can be made on account of the diversity of these processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many other applications for the LUTENSOL TO types in the manufacture of leather, paper, paints and building products.
LUTENSOL TO 3 and LUTENSOL TO 5 can be employed as feedstocks in the production of ether sulphates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
In July 2003, the European Parliament published Directive 2003/53/EC ethoxylates (APEO) “….relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (nonylphenol, nonylphenol ethoxylates….” in the Official Journal.
This legislation was introduced in response to demands to minimise the risks posed by nonylphenol that were identified in the EU Risk Assessment.

This legislation has been in force since January 2005.
The directive covers all applications that result in discharges, emissions or losses to the environment and has the aim of minimising discharges of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates into receiving waters.

Nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates may only be brought into circulation at concentrations of less than 0.1 % w/w as substances or as ingredients of preparations in applications in which they are discharged.
The applications that are affected by this directive include commercial cleaning, household cleaning and textile and leather processing.
These requirements also apply to products that are imported from outside Europe.

Properties of LUTENSOL TO 89:
LUTENSOL TO 2, TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 65, TO 7 and TO 8 are cloudy liquids at 23 °C which tend to form a sediment.
They are clear at 50 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 79, TO 89, TO 109, TO 129 and TO 389 are clear liquids at 23 °C.

LUTENSOL TO 10, TO 11, TO 12, TO 15 and TO 20 are soft, slightly yellowish pastes.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL TO 89:
The LUTENSOL TO types are nonionic surfactants.
They are based on a saturated iso-C13 alcohol.

They conform to the following structural formula.
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = iso-C13H27
x = 2, 3, 5, 6, 6,5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20

The LUTENSOL TO types are manufactured by causing the iso-C13 oxo alcohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The ethoxylation temperature is kept as low as possible.
This, combined with the high purity of the feedstocks, ensures that high-performance products with low toxicity are obtained.

Storage of LUTENSOL TO 89:
The LUTENSOL TO types should be stored indoors in a dry place.
Storerooms must not be overheated.

The LUTENSOL TO types are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, with the result that they absorb moisture very quickly.
Drums must be resealed each time they are opened.

The storage temperature should not be allowed to fall substantially below 20 °C.
The setting points of these products also need to be taken into account.

LUTENSOL TO 3, TO 5, TO 6, TO 7, TO 8, TO 65 and TO 565 are cloudy liquids at room temperature, and they tend to form a sediment.
This cloudiness can be dissipated by heating them to ca. 50 °C.
Liquid that has solidified or that shows signs of sedimentation should be heated to 50 – 60 °C and homogenized before it is processed.

Drums that have solidified or that have begun to precipitate should be reconstituted by gentle heating, preferably in a heating cabinet.
The temperature must not be allowed to exceed 60 °C.

This also applies if drums are heated by external electrical elements.
Internal electrical elements should not be used because of the localized anomalies in temperature that they cause.

The LUTENSOL TO types must be blanketed with nitrogen if they are stored in heated tanks (at 50 – 60 °C) to prevent them from coming into contact with air.
Constant, gentle stirring helps to prevent them being discoloured as a result of prolonged contact with electrical elements or external heating coils

Shelf life of LUTENSOL TO 89:
The LUTENSOL TO types have a shelf life of at least two years in their original packaging, provided they are stored properly and drums are kept tightly sealed.

Safety of LUTENSOL TO 89:
We know of no ill effects that could have resulted from using the LUTENSOL TO types for the purpose for which they are intended and from processing them in accordance with current practice.
According to the experience we have gained over many years and other information at our disposal, the LUTENSOL TO types do not exert any harmful effects on health, provided that they are used properly, due attention is given to the precautions necessary for handling chemicals, and the information and advice given in our safety data sheets are observed.

LUTENSOL XL 100 is a nonionic surfactant, this is an alkyl polyethylene glycol ether made from a C10-Guerbet Alcohol and ethylene oxide.
LUTENSOL XL 100 also higher alkylene oxide in small amounts.

Functions of LUTENSOL XL 100:
Wetter,
Emulsifier,
Process Aid.

Uses of LUTENSOL XL 100:
LUTENSOL XL 100 is used in formulations for floor and sanitary cleaners, neutral water-based cleaners for industrial use, neutral cleaners for metals and degreasers and alkaline cleaners based on carbonates, silicates and phosphates, acid cleaners based on sulfuric, phosphoric, hydrochloric or amidosulfonic acid.
LUTENSOL XL 100 is used in disinfectants for cleaning buildings.

LUTENSOL XL 100 is highly effective in combination with other LUTENSOL products with different ethoxylation ranges.
The LUTENSOL XL 100 has excellent wetting properties and well solubilizing capacity, and can be degraded absolutely.

LUTENSOL XL 100 is very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.
And LUTENSOL XL 100 main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.

LUTENSOL XL 100 is a C10 guerbet alcohol alkoxylate POE (10)(100% active) that is synthetically derived and readily biodegradable.
LUTENSOL XL 100 is a very good solubilizer that offers great emulsification properties.

LUTENSOL XL 100 is used for the following formulation types:
Emulsifier concentrates,
Emulsions (oil and water),
Microemulsions,
Suspension concentrates,
Suspo-emulsions,
Soluble liquids,
Wettable powders and wettable granules.

Applications of LUTENSOL XL 100:
The LUTENSOL XL types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL XL types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulphates and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit TC-KLC 50 types (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, TO, ON, AT, AO and GD types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL XL types is such that they can be used to formulate acidic, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Very large amounts of acids, alkali, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL XL types.

Nevertheless, this does not necessarily affect their performance.
Although electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL XL types to decompose, they can still cause solutions to become cloudy or to separate but, provided they are still homogeneous, their performance is not affected.

Cleaners:
We recommend the following LUTENSOL XL types for the products listed below.

Household cleaners:
Cleaners for floors, sanitary ware, tiles and enamel can be formulated with LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80 XL 90 and XL 100 in combination with other LUTENSOL types and anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (especially Lutensit A-LB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL XL types can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral water based cleaners:
The water soluble products like LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80, XL 90 and XL 100 perform well in neutral cleaners in combination with Lutensit A types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
Again, LUTENSOL XL types can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as our Korantin MAT and Korantin PAT.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80, XL 90 and XL 100, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Cleaners of this type are used to clean motor vehicles, engines, machine parts, road and rail tankers, etc., and to degrease metal.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL XL types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be gauged according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL XL types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best combination of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, is the single most important attribute that has to be considered if sparingly soluble solids are to be dispersed in water or other solvents.
The LUTENSOL XL types can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL XL types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surfacetreatment processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other applications:
There are many applications for the LUTENSOL XL types in the leather, paper, paints and building products industries.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
Legislation and voluntary agreements have been adopted in many counethoxylates (APEO) tries to prohibit the use of alkylphenol ethoxylates in detergents and cleaners.
This was prompted by the ecological objections that have been raised owing to the toxicity of degradation products of APEO to fish.

The LUTENSOL XL types can be employed as substitutes for alkylphenol ethoxylates in most detergent and cleaner formulations.
The choice of the respective substitute may be based on criteria like HLB value or cloud point.
Our LUTENSOL AO, LUTENSOL TO and LUTENSOL ON types may be more appropriate depending on the formulation in question.

Characteristics of LUTENSOL XL 100:

LUTENSOL XL 140 is a nonionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL XL products are alkyl poly-propylene and ethylene glycol ethers made from a C10-Guerbet Alcohol and ethylene oxide.

LUTENSOL XL 140 also higher alkylene oxide in small amounts.
LUTENSOL XL 140 is a soft, colourless or slightly yellowish paste at 23°C.

Uses of LUTENSOL XL 140:
Dishwashing,
Laundry,
Food and Beverage Processing,
Food Service and Kitchen Hygiene,
Commercial Laundry,
Institutional Cleaning and Sanitation,
Industrial Cleaning.

Applications of LUTENSOL XL 140:
The LUTENSOL XL types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL XL types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulphates and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit TC-KLC 50 types (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, TO, ON, AT, AO and GD types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL XL types is such that they can be used to formulate acidic, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Very large amounts of acids, alkali, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL XL types.

Nevertheless, this does not necessarily affect their performance.
Although electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL XL types to decompose, they can still cause solutions to become cloudy or to separate but, provided they are still homogeneous, their performance is not affected.

Cleaners:
We recommend the following LUTENSOL XL types for the products listed below.

Household cleaners:
Cleaners for floors, sanitary ware, tiles and enamel can be formulated with LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80 XL 90 and XL 100 in combination with other LUTENSOL types and anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (especially Lutensit A-LB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL XL types can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral water based cleaners:
The water soluble products like LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80, XL 90 and XL 100 perform well in neutral cleaners in combination with Lutensit A types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
Again, LUTENSOL XL types can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as our Korantin MAT and Korantin PAT.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80, XL 90 and XL 100, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline water-based cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkali, on alkali carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL XL types is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.
LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80, XL 90, XL 100 are recommended for this purpose, in combination with other LUTENSOL types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and, chelating agents (Trilon).

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80, XL 90, XL 100 and XL 140 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or amidosulphonic acid.
Formulations can also contain
LUTENSOL FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types as well as corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH.

Building care, disinfectants:
For the formulation of disinfectants and cleaners for building care we recommend the use of the water soluble LUTENSOL XL types like LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80, XL 90 and XL 100 in combination with LUTENSOL A 8, LUTENSOL TO types, LUTENSOL FSA 10, FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Solvent-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL XL 70 can be used alongside Emulan A, P and PO to emulsify hydrocarbons such as mineral spirits and kerosene in solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.
Cleaners of this type are used to clean motor vehicles, engines, machine parts, road and rail tankers, etc., and to degrease metal.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL XL types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be gauged according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL XL types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best combination of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, is the single most important attribute that has to be considered if sparingly soluble solids are to be dispersed in water or other solvents.
The LUTENSOL XL types can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL XL types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surfacetreatment processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other applications:
There are many applications for the LUTENSOL XL types in the leather, paper, paints and building products industries.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
Legislation and voluntary agreements have been adopted in many counethoxylates (APEO) tries to prohibit the use of alkylphenol ethoxylates in detergents and cleaners.
This was prompted by the ecological objections that have been raised owing to the toxicity of degradation products of APEO to fish.

The LUTENSOL XL types can be employed as substitutes for alkylphenol ethoxylates in most detergent and cleaner formulations.
The choice of the respective substitute may be based on criteria like HLB value or cloud point.
Our LUTENSOL AO, LUTENSOL TO and LUTENSOL ON types may be more appropriate depending on the formulation in question.

Functions of LUTENSOL XL 79:
Wetter,
Emulsifier,
Process Aid,
Compatibilizer.

Uses of LUTENSOL XL 79:
LUTENSOL XL 79 is a C10 guerbet alcohol alkoxylate POE (7) (85% active) Easy to handle wetting agent and emulsifier that offers improved performance over IDA.
Synthetically derived and readily degradable.

LUTENSOL XL 79 is used for the following formulation types:
Emulsifier concentrates,
Emulsions (oil and water),
Microemulsions,
Suspension concentrates,
Suspo-emulsions,
Soluble liquids,
Wettable granules and wettable powders.

Applications of LUTENSOL XL 79:
The LUTENSOL XL types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL XL types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulphates and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit TC-KLC 50 types (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, TO, ON, AT, AO and GD types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL XL types is such that they can be used to formulate acidic, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Very large amounts of acids, alkali, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL XL types.

Nevertheless, this does not necessarily affect their performance.
Although electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL XL types to decompose, they can still cause solutions to become cloudy or to separate but, provided they are still homogeneous, their performance is not affected.

Cleaners:
We recommend the following LUTENSOL XL types for the products listed below.

Household cleaners:
Cleaners for floors, sanitary ware, tiles and enamel can be formulated with LUTENSOL XL 79, XL 80 XL 90 and XL 100 in combination with other LUTENSOL types and anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (especially Lutensit A-LB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL XL types can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral water based cleaners:
The water soluble products like LUTENSOL XL 79, XL 80, XL 90 and XL 100 perform well in neutral cleaners in combination with Lutensit A types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
Again, LUTENSOL XL types can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as our Korantin MAT and Korantin PAT.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL XL 79, XL 80, XL 90 and XL 100, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline water-based cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkali, on alkali carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL XL types is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.
LUTENSOL XL 79, XL 80, XL 90, XL 100 are recommended for this purpose, in combination with other LUTENSOL types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and, chelating agents (Trilon).

Acid cleaners
LUTENSOL XL 79, XL 80, XL 90, XL 100 and XL 140 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or amidosulphonic acid.
Formulations can also contain
LUTENSOL FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types as well as corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH.

Building care, disinfectants:
For the formulation of disinfectants and cleaners for building care we recommend the use of the water soluble LUTENSOL XL types like LUTENSOL XL 79, XL 80, XL 90 and XL 100 in combination with LUTENSOL A 8, LUTENSOL TO types, LUTENSOL FSA 10, FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Solvent-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL XL 79 can be used alongside Emulan A, P and PO to emulsify hydrocarbons such as mineral spirits and kerosene in solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.
Cleaners of this type are used to clean motor vehicles, engines, machine parts, road and rail tankers, etc., and to degrease metal.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL XL types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be gauged according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL XL types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best combination of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, is the single most important attribute that has to be considered if sparingly soluble solids are to be dispersed in water or other solvents.
The LUTENSOL XL types can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL XL types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surfacetreatment processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other applications:
There are many applications for the LUTENSOL XL types in the leather, paper, paints and building products industries.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
Legislation and voluntary agreements have been adopted in many counethoxylates (APEO) tries to prohibit the use of alkylphenol ethoxylates in detergents and cleaners.
This was prompted by the ecological objections that have been raised owing to the toxicity of degradation products of APEO to fish.

The LUTENSOL XL types can be employed as substitutes for alkylphenol ethoxylates in most detergent and cleaner formulations.
The choice of the respective substitute may be based on criteria like HLB value or cloud point.
Our LUTENSOL AO, LUTENSOL TO and LUTENSOL ON types may be more appropriate depending on the formulation in question.

Applications of LUTENSOL XL 90:
The LUTENSOL XL types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL XL types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulphates and other sulphated and sulphonated products.
This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.

They are also compatible with the Lutensit TC-KLC 50 types (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, TO, ON, AT, AO and GD types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.
Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.

The versatility of the LUTENSOL XL types is such that they can be used to formulate acidic, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.
They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.

Very large amounts of acids, alkali, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL XL types.

Nevertheless, this does not necessarily affect their performance.
Although electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL XL types to decompose, they can still cause solutions to become cloudy or to separate but, provided they are still homogeneous, their performance is not affected.

Cleaners:
We recommend the following LUTENSOL XL types for the products listed below.

Household cleaners:
Cleaners for floors, sanitary ware, tiles and enamel can be formulated with LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80 XL 90 and XL 100 in combination with other LUTENSOL types and anionic surfactants from our Lutensit range (especially Lutensit A-LB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL XL types can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral water based cleaners:
The water soluble products like LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80, XL 90 and XL 100 perform well in neutral cleaners in combination with Lutensit A types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
Again, LUTENSOL XL types can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as our Korantin MAT and Korantin PAT.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80, XL 90 and XL 100, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline water-based cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkali, on alkali carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL XL types is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.
LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80, XL 90, XL 100 are recommended for this purpose, in combination with other LUTENSOL types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and, chelating agents (Trilon).

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80, XL 90, XL 100 and XL 140 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or amidosulphonic acid.
Formulations can also contain
LUTENSOL FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types as well as corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH.

Building care, disinfectants:
For the formulation of disinfectants and cleaners for building care we recommend the use of the water soluble LUTENSOL XL types like LUTENSOL XL 70, XL 80, XL 90 and XL 100 in combination with LUTENSOL A 8, LUTENSOL TO types, LUTENSOL FSA 10, FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Solvent-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL XL 70 can be used alongside Emulan A, P and PO to emulsify hydrocarbons such as mineral spirits and kerosene in solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.
Cleaners of this type are used to clean motor vehicles, engines, machine parts, road and rail tankers, etc., and to degrease metal.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL XL types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be gauged according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL XL types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best combination of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, is the single most important attribute that has to be considered if sparingly soluble solids are to be dispersed in water or other solvents.
The LUTENSOL XL types can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL XL types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surfacetreatment processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other applications:
There are many applications for the LUTENSOL XL types in the leather, paper, paints and building products industries.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
Legislation and voluntary agreements have been adopted in many counethoxylates (APEO) tries to prohibit the use of alkylphenol ethoxylates in detergents and cleaners.
This was prompted by the ecological objections that have been raised owing to the toxicity of degradation products of APEO to fish.

The LUTENSOL XL types can be employed as substitutes for alkylphenol ethoxylates in most detergent and cleaner formulations.
The choice of the respective substitute may be based on criteria like HLB value or cloud point.
Our LUTENSOL AO, LUTENSOL TO and LUTENSOL ON types may be more appropriate depending on the formulation in question.

LUTENSOL XP 100
LUTENSOL XP 100 is a nonionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL XP 100 is an alkyl polyethylene glycol ether based on C10-Guerbet alcohol and ethylene oxide.

LUTENSOL XP 100 is manufactured by causing the C10-alkohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The numeric code in LUTENSOL XP 100 name indicates in general the degree of the ethoxilation.
LUTENSOL XP 100 is a soft, colourless or slightly yellowish paste at 23°C.

Uses of LUTENSOL XP 100:
Dishwashing,
Laundry,
Hard Surface Cleaning,
Food and Beverage Processing,
Food Service and Kitchen Hygiene,
Commercial Laundry,
Institutional Cleaning and Sanitation.

Applications of LUTENSOL XP 100:
The LUTENSOL XP types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.
Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL XP types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.

They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulphates and other sulphated and sulphonated products.

This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.
They are also compatible with the Lutensit TC-KLC 50 types (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AT, TO, ON, F and GD types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.

Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.
The versatility of the LUTENSOL XP types is such that they can be used to formulate acidic, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.

They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.
Very large amounts of acids, alkali, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.

High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL XP types.
Nevertheless, this does not necessarily affect their performance.
Although electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL XP types to decompose, they can still cause solutions to seperate or to become cloudy but, provided they are still homogeneous, their performance is not affected.

Cleaners:
We recommend the following LUTENSOL XP types for the products listed below:

Household cleaners:
Cleaners for floors, sanitary ware, tiles and enamel can be formulated with LUTENSOL XP 60, XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 in combination with other LUTENSOL types and anionic surfactants from our Lutensit A range (especially Lutensit A-LB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL XP types can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral water based cleaners:
The water soluble products like LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 perform well in neutral cleaners in combination with Lutensit A types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
Again, LUTENSOL XP types can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as our Korantin MAT and Korantin PAT.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline water-based cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkali, on alkali carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL XP types is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL XP 60, XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 are recommended for this purpose, in combination with other LUTENSOL types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and, chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL XP types can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90, XP 100 and XP 140 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or amidosulphonic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types as well as corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH.

Building care, disinfectants:
For the formulation of disinfectants and cleaners for building care we recommend the use of the water soluble LUTENSOL XP types like LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 in combination with LUTENSOL A 8, LUTENSOL TO types, LUTENSOL FSA 10, FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Solvent-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL XP 30, XP 40 and XP 50 can be used alongside Emulan A, P and PO to emulsify hydrocarbons such as mineral spirits and kerosene in solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.
Cleaners of this type are used to clean motor vehicles, engines, machine parts, road and rail tankers, etc., and to degrease metal.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL XP types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be gauged according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL XP types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best combination of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, is the single most important attribute that has to be considered if sparingly soluble solids are to be dispersed in water or other solvents.
The LUTENSOL XP types can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL XP types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many applications for the LUTENSOL XP types in the leather, paper, paints and building products industries.
LUTENSOL XP 30 can be used as raw material for ether sulfates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
Legislation and voluntary agreements have been adopted in many ethoxylates (APEO) countries to prohibit the use of alkylphenol ethoxylates in detergents and cleaners.
This was prompted by the ecological objections that have been raised owing to the toxicity of degradation products of APEO to fish.

The LUTENSOL XP types can be employed as substitutes for alkylphenol ethoxylates in some detergent and cleaner formulations.
The choice of the respective substitute may be based on criteria like HLB value or cloud point.
Our LUTENSOL XL and LUTENSOL TO types may be more appropriate depending on the formulation in question.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL XP 100:
The LUTENSOL XP types are nonionic surfactants.
They are alkyl polyethylene glycol ethers based on C10-Guerbet alcohol and ethylene oxide.

They conform to the following formula:
RO(CH2CH2O)xH

R = C10H21
x = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14

The numeric code in the product name indicates in general the degree of ethoxilation.
The LUTENSOL XP types are manufactered by causing the C10-alkohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.

Properties of LUTENSOL XP 100:
LUTENSOL XP 30, XP 40, XP 50, XP 60, XP 70, XP 80 and XP 90 are cloudy liquids at room temperature, and they tend to form a sediment.

LUTENSOL XP 40 is a nonionic surfactant.

LUTENSOL XP 40 is manufactured by causing the C10-alkohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The numeric code in LUTENSOL XP 40 name indicates in general the degree of the ethoxilation.
LUTENSOL XP 40 is a cloudy liquid at room temperature, and LUTENSOL XP 40 tends to form a sediment.

Uses of LUTENSOL XP 40:
Dishwashing,
Hard Surface Cleaning,
Food and Beverage Processing,
Food Service and Kitchen Hygiene,
Commercial Laundry,
Institutional Cleaning and Sanitation,
Vehicle and Transportation Care.

Applications of LUTENSOL XP 40:
The LUTENSOL XP types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.

Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL XP types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.
They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulphates and other sulphated and sulphonated products.

This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.
They are also compatible with the Lutensit TC-KLC 50 types (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AT, TO, ON, F and GD types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.

Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.
The versatility of the LUTENSOL XP types is such that they can be used to formulate acidic, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.

They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.
Very large amounts of acids, alkali, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.

High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL XP types.
Nevertheless, this does not necessarily affect their performance.
Although electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL XP types to decompose, they can still cause solutions to seperate or to become cloudy but, provided they are still homogeneous, their performance is not affected.

Cleaners:
We recommend the following LUTENSOL XP types for the products listed below:

Household cleaners:
Cleaners for floors, sanitary ware, tiles and enamel can be formulated with LUTENSOL XP 60, XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 in combination with other LUTENSOL types and anionic surfactants from our Lutensit A range (especially Lutensit A-LB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
It can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral water based cleaners:
The water soluble products like LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 perform well in neutral cleaners in combination with Lutensit A types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
Again, it can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as our Korantin MAT and Korantin PAT.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline water-based cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkali, on alkali carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before it is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL XP 60, XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 are recommended for this purpose, in combination with other LUTENSOL types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and, chelating agents (Trilon).
It can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90, XP 100 and XP 140 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or amidosulphonic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types as well as corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH.

Building care, disinfectants:
For the formulation of disinfectants and cleaners for building care we recommend the use of the water soluble LUTENSOL XP types like LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 in combination with LUTENSOL A 8, LUTENSOL TO types, LUTENSOL FSA 10, FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Solvent-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL XP 30, XP 40 and XP 50 can be used alongside Emulan A, P and PO to emulsify hydrocarbons such as mineral spirits and kerosene in solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.
Cleaners of this type are used to clean motor vehicles, engines, machine parts, road and rail tankers, etc., and to degrease metal.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL XP types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be gauged according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL XP types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best combination of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, is the single most important attribute that has to be considered if sparingly soluble solids are to be dispersed in water or other solvents.
The LUTENSOL XP types can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL XP types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many applications for the LUTENSOL XP types in the leather, paper, paints and building products industries.
LUTENSOL XP 30 can be used as raw material for ether sulfates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
Legislation and voluntary agreements have been adopted in many ethoxylates (APEO) countries to prohibit the use of alkylphenol ethoxylates in detergents and cleaners.
This was prompted by the ecological objections that have been raised owing to the toxicity of degradation products of APEO to fish.

The LUTENSOL XP types can be employed as substitutes for alkylphenol ethoxylates in some detergent and cleaner formulations.
The choice of the respective substitute may be based on criteria like HLB value or cloud point.
Our LUTENSOL XL and LUTENSOL TO types may be more appropriate depending on the formulation in question.

Applications of LUTENSOL XP 60:
The LUTENSOL XP types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.

Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL XP types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.
They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulphates and other sulphated and sulphonated products.

This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.
They are also compatible with the Lutensit TC-KLC 50 types (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AT, TO, ON, F and GD types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.

Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.
The versatility of the LUTENSOL XP types is such that they can be used to formulate acidic, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.

They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.
Very large amounts of acids, alkali, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.

High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL XP types.
Nevertheless, this does not necessarily affect their performance.
Although electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL XP types to decompose, they can still cause solutions to seperate or to become cloudy but, provided they are still homogeneous, their performance is not affected.

Cleaners:
We recommend the following LUTENSOL XP types for the products listed below:

Household cleaners:
Cleaners for floors, sanitary ware, tiles and enamel can be formulated with LUTENSOL XP 60, XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 in combination with other LUTENSOL types and anionic surfactants from our Lutensit A range (especially Lutensit A-LB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
It can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral water based cleaners:
The water soluble products like LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 perform well in neutral cleaners in combination with Lutensit A types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
Again, it can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as our Korantin MAT and Korantin PAT.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline water-based cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkali, on alkali carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before it is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL XP 60, XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 are recommended for this purpose, in combination with other LUTENSOL types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and, chelating agents (Trilon).
It can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90, XP 100 and XP 140 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or amidosulphonic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types as well as corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH.

Building care, disinfectants:
For the formulation of disinfectants and cleaners for building care we recommend the use of the water soluble LUTENSOL XP types like LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 in combination with LUTENSOL A 8, LUTENSOL TO types, LUTENSOL FSA 10, FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Solvent-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL XP 30, XP 40 and XP 50 can be used alongside Emulan A, P and PO to emulsify hydrocarbons such as mineral spirits and kerosene in solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.
Cleaners of this type are used to clean motor vehicles, engines, machine parts, road and rail tankers, etc., and to degrease metal.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL XP types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be gauged according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL XP types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best combination of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, is the single most important attribute that has to be considered if sparingly soluble solids are to be dispersed in water or other solvents.
The LUTENSOL XP types can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL XP types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many applications for the LUTENSOL XP types in the leather, paper, paints and building products industries.
LUTENSOL XP 30 can be used as raw material for ether sulfates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
Legislation and voluntary agreements have been adopted in many ethoxylates (APEO) countries to prohibit the use of alkylphenol ethoxylates in detergents and cleaners.
This was prompted by the ecological objections that have been raised owing to the toxicity of degradation products of APEO to fish.

The LUTENSOL XP types can be employed as substitutes for alkylphenol ethoxylates in some detergent and cleaner formulations.
The choice of the respective substitute may be based on criteria like HLB value or cloud point.
Our LUTENSOL XL and LUTENSOL TO types may be more appropriate depending on the formulation in question.

LUTENSOL XP 79
LUTENSOL XP 79 is a nonionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL XP 79 is an alkyl polyethylene glycol ether based on C10-Guerbet alcohol and ethylene oxide.

LUTENSOL XP 79 is manufactured by causing the C10-alkohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The numeric code in LUTENSOL XP 79 name indicates in general the degree of the ethoxilation.
LUTENSOL XP 79 is a clear liquid at room temperature.

Uses of LUTENSOL XP 79:
Floor Cleaning and Care,
Manual Dishwashing,
Food and Beverage Processing,
Food Service and Kitchen Hygiene,
Commercial Laundry,
Institutional Cleaning and Sanitation.

Applications of LUTENSOL XP 79:
The LUTENSOL XP types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.

Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL XP types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.
They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulphates and other sulphated and sulphonated products.

This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.
They are also compatible with the Lutensit TC-KLC 50 types (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AT, TO, ON, F and GD types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.

Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.
The versatility of the LUTENSOL XP types is such that they can be used to formulate acidic, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.

They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.
Very large amounts of acids, alkali, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.

High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL XP types.
Nevertheless, this does not necessarily affect their performance.
Although electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL XP types to decompose, they can still cause solutions to seperate or to become cloudy but, provided they are still homogeneous, their performance is not affected.

Cleaners:
We recommend the following LUTENSOL XP types for the products listed below:

Household cleaners:
Cleaners for floors, sanitary ware, tiles and enamel can be formulated with LUTENSOL XP 60, XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 in combination with other LUTENSOL types and anionic surfactants from our Lutensit A range (especially Lutensit A-LB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
It can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral water based cleaners:
The water soluble products like LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 perform well in neutral cleaners in combination with Lutensit A types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
Again, it can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as our Korantin MAT and Korantin PAT.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline water-based cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkali, on alkali carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before it is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL XP 60, XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 are recommended for this purpose, in combination with other LUTENSOL types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and, chelating agents (Trilon).
It can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90, XP 100 and XP 140 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or amidosulphonic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types as well as corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH.

Building care, disinfectants:
For the formulation of disinfectants and cleaners for building care we recommend the use of the water soluble LUTENSOL XP types like LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 in combination with LUTENSOL A 8, LUTENSOL TO types, LUTENSOL FSA 10, FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Solvent-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL XP 30, XP 40 and XP 50 can be used alongside Emulan A, P and PO to emulsify hydrocarbons such as mineral spirits and kerosene in solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.
Cleaners of this type are used to clean motor vehicles, engines, machine parts, road and rail tankers, etc., and to degrease metal.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL XP types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be gauged according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL XP types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best combination of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, is the single most important attribute that has to be considered if sparingly soluble solids are to be dispersed in water or other solvents.
The LUTENSOL XP types can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL XP types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many applications for the LUTENSOL XP types in the leather, paper, paints and building products industries.
LUTENSOL XP 30 can be used as raw material for ether sulfates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
Legislation and voluntary agreements have been adopted in many ethoxylates (APEO) countries to prohibit the use of alkylphenol ethoxylates in detergents and cleaners.
This was prompted by the ecological objections that have been raised owing to the toxicity of degradation products of APEO to fish.

The LUTENSOL XP types can be employed as substitutes for alkylphenol ethoxylates in some detergent and cleaner formulations.
The choice of the respective substitute may be based on criteria like HLB value or cloud point.
Our LUTENSOL XL and LUTENSOL TO types may be more appropriate depending on the formulation in question.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL XP 79:
The LUTENSOL XP types are nonionic surfactants.
They are alkyl polyethylene glycol ethers based on C10-Guerbet alcohol and ethylene oxide.

They conform to the following formula:
RO(CH2CH2O)xH
R = C10H21
x = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14

The numeric code in the product name indicates in general the degree of ethoxilation.
The LUTENSOL XP types are manufactered by causing the C10-alkohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.

Value:
LUTENSOL XP 79 is can generate very high initial foam (institutional cleaning and sanitation).
LUTENSOL XP 79 is can generate very high initial foam.

LUTENSOL XP 79 is can cause skin irritation.

Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as our Korantin MAT and Korantin PAT.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline water-based cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkali, on alkali carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before it is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL XP 60, XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 are recommended for this purpose, in combination with other LUTENSOL types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and, chelating agents (Trilon).
It can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90, XP 100 and XP 140 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or amidosulphonic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types as well as corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH.

Building care, disinfectants:
For the formulation of disinfectants and cleaners for building care we recommend the use of the water soluble LUTENSOL XP types like LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 in combination with LUTENSOL A 8, LUTENSOL TO types, LUTENSOL FSA 10, FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Solvent-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL XP 30, XP 40 and XP 50 can be used alongside Emulan A, P and PO to emulsify hydrocarbons such as mineral spirits and kerosene in solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.
Cleaners of this type are used to clean motor vehicles, engines, machine parts, road and rail tankers, etc., and to degrease metal.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL XP types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be gauged according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL XP types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best combination of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, is the single most important attribute that has to be considered if sparingly soluble solids are to be dispersed in water or other solvents.
The LUTENSOL XP types can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL XP types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many applications for the LUTENSOL XP types in the leather, paper, paints and building products industries.
LUTENSOL XP 30 can be used as raw material for ether sulfates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
Legislation and voluntary agreements have been adopted in many ethoxylates (APEO) countries to prohibit the use of alkylphenol ethoxylates in detergents and cleaners.
This was prompted by the ecological objections that have been raised owing to the toxicity of degradation products of APEO to fish.

The LUTENSOL XP types can be employed as substitutes for alkylphenol ethoxylates in some detergent and cleaner formulations.
The choice of the respective substitute may be based on criteria like HLB value or cloud point.
Our LUTENSOL XL and LUTENSOL TO types may be more appropriate depending on the formulation in question.

Applications of LUTENSOL XP 90:
The LUTENSOL XP types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.

Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL XP types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.
They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulphates and other sulphated and sulphonated products.

This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.
They are also compatible with the Lutensit TC-KLC 50 types (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AT, TO, ON, F and GD types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.

Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.
The versatility of the LUTENSOL XP types is such that they can be used to formulate acidic, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.

They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.
Very large amounts of acids, alkali, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.

High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL XP types.
Nevertheless, this does not necessarily affect their performance.
Although electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL XP types to decompose, they can still cause solutions to seperate or to become cloudy but, provided they are still homogeneous, their performance is not affected.

LUTENSOL XP 99
LUTENSOL XP 99 is a nonionic surfactant.
LUTENSOL XP 99 is an alkyl polyethylene glycol ether based on C10-Guerbet alcohol and ethylene oxide.

LUTENSOL XP 99 is manufactured by causing the C10-alkohol to react with ethylene oxide in stoichiometric proportions.
The numeric code in LUTENSOL XP 99 name indicates in general the degree of the ethoxilation.
LUTENSOL XP 99 is a clear liquid at room temperature.

Uses of LUTENSOL XP 99:
Dishwashing,
Food and Beverage Processing,
Food Service and Kitchen Hygiene,
Commercial Laundry,
Institutional Cleaning and Sanitation.

Applications of LUTENSOL XP 99:
The LUTENSOL XP types belong to a group of nonionic surfactants that have established themselves in detergents and cleaners, and in other branches of the chemical industry, by virtue of the high levels of surface activity they display.
Their main area of application is in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.

Because they are nonionic, the LUTENSOL XP types can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.
They are fully compatible with alkylaryl sulphonates (Lutensit A-LB types), ether sulphates and other sulphated and sulphonated products.

This enables synergistic effects and very high levels of performance to be obtained.
They are also compatible with the Lutensit TC-KLC 50 types (cationic biocides based on dimethyl fatty alkylbenzeneammonium chloride) and with other nonionic surfactants such as our LUTENSOL A N, AO, AT, TO, ON, F and GD types, and the low-foaming surfactants in our Plurafac LF and Pluronic PE and RPE ranges.

Their compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with a molar mass in the upper range is also very good.
The versatility of the LUTENSOL XP types is such that they can be used to formulate acidic, alkaline and neutral cleaners that satisfy the most varied requirements.

They are very effective emulsifiers in combination with Emulan and other products from the LUTENSOL range.
Very large amounts of acids, alkali, salts and organic solvents may have to be added to some formulations in order to fulfil special requirements.

High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids can impair the solubility of the LUTENSOL XP types.
Nevertheless, this does not necessarily affect their performance.
Although electrolytes of this type do not cause the LUTENSOL XP types to decompose, they can still cause solutions to seperate or to become cloudy but, provided they are still homogeneous, their performance is not affected.

Cleaners:
We recommend the following LUTENSOL XP types for the products listed below:

Household cleaners:
Cleaners for floors, sanitary ware, tiles and enamel can be formulated with LUTENSOL XP 60, XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 in combination with other LUTENSOL types and anionic surfactants from our Lutensit A range (especially Lutensit A-LB types), dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL XP types can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral water based cleaners:
The water soluble products like LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 perform well in neutral cleaners in combination with Lutensit A types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).
Again, LUTENSOL XP types can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Neutral metal cleaners:
Neutral cleaners and degreasers with a corrosion-inhibiting action for metal pretreatment can be formulated from products such as our Korantin MAT and Korantin PAT.
The water-soluble surfactants in the range, especially LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100, are very effective wetting agents for use in this type of formulation.

Alkaline water-based cleaners:
Cleaners of this type are based on caustic alkali, on alkali carbonates, silicates and phosphates.
They are mainly used to clean metal before LUTENSOL XP types is plated, coated, phosphatized or anodized.

LUTENSOL XP 60, XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 are recommended for this purpose, in combination with other LUTENSOL types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and, chelating agents (Trilon).
LUTENSOL XP types can be advisable to add a solubilizer such as cumene sulphonate to highly concentrated formulations.

Acid cleaners:
LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90, XP 100 and XP 140 can be used in pickling solutions, degreasers, descalers and derusters based on hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric or amidosulphonic acid.
Formulations can also contain LUTENSOL FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types as well as corrosion inhibitors such as our Korantin BH.

Building care, disinfectants:
For the formulation of disinfectants and cleaners for building care we recommend the use of the water soluble LUTENSOL XP types like LUTENSOL XP 70, XP 80, XP 90 and XP 100 in combination with LUTENSOL A 8, LUTENSOL TO types, LUTENSOL FSA 10, FA 12, Lutensit TC-KLC 50 and Lutensit A-LB types, dispersing agents (Sokalan) and chelating agents (Trilon).

Solvent-based cleaners:
LUTENSOL XP 30, XP 40 and XP 50 can be used alongside Emulan A, P and PO to emulsify hydrocarbons such as mineral spirits and kerosene in solvent-based cleaners that are applied cold.
Cleaners of this type are used to clean motor vehicles, engines, machine parts, road and rail tankers, etc., and to degrease metal.

Emulsification:
The LUTENSOL XP types generally perform well as emulsifiers, although some perform better than others.
Their practical performance as emulsifiers can be gauged according to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which correlates with their degree of ethoxylation.

The LUTENSOL XP types can be combined with other emulsifiers from our nonionic Emulan and anionic Emulphor ranges, and with alkali soaps, amine soaps and sulphonated oils.
Graduated tests are the most effective means of determining the best combination of emulsifiers and the amounts required.

Tests are indispensable if emulsions are subjected to severe demands due to the presence of electrolytes, finely divided suspended solids or water-soluble, organic solvents.
Special emulsifier combinations often have to be employed to cope with exceptional thermal or mechanical stress.

Dispersing:
The dispersing capacity of surfactants, which plays an important part in cleaning and emulsification processes, is the single most important attribute that has to be considered if sparingly soluble solids are to be dispersed in water or other solvents.
The LUTENSOL XP types can be used to disperse the solids generated by precipitation, coagulation and other chemical reactions.
They can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids.

Wetting:
The LUTENSOL XP types are very effective wetting agents.
They can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface-treatment processes.
Again, graduated tests under practical conditions are the most effective means of determining the best products for specific applications.

Other Applications:
There are many applications for the LUTENSOL XP types in the leather, paper, paints and building products industries.
LUTENSOL XP 30 can be used as raw material for ether sulfates.

Substitutes for alkylphenol:
Legislation and voluntary agreements have been adopted in many ethoxylates (APEO) countries to prohibit the use of alkylphenol ethoxylates in detergents and cleaners.
This was prompted by the ecological objections that have been raised owing to the toxicity of degradation products of APEO to fish.

The LUTENSOL XP types can be employed as substitutes for alkylphenol ethoxylates in some detergent and cleaner formulations.
The choice of the respective substitute may be based on criteria like HLB value or cloud point.
Our LUTENSOL XL and LUTENSOL TO types may be more appropriate depending on the formulation in question.

Chemical Nature of LUTENSOL XP 99:

LUTROPUR MSA
Lutropur MSA High purity methanesulfonic acid 70% (in water). Highly effective, efficient and economical: that is probably the best way to describe Lutropur MSA − high purity methanesulfonic acid (MSA) from BASF. Because of its unique property profile, methanesulfonic acid is becoming increasingly important. In numerous different applications and industries, ranging from chemical synthesis and metal surface treatment through to industrial cleaning, Lutropur MSA is helping our customers to be more successful. Lutropur MSA is ideal for the manufacture of sustainable products. With Lutropur MSA it is often possible to meet more stringent environmental and safety requirements than with other acids. If Lutropur MSA helps ... to achieve optimum industrial results to comply with rules and regulations to cut costs Lutropur MSA is pure methanesulfonic acid. Methanesulfonic acid (MSA) is a strong and odorless organic acid with a unique property profile that distinguishes it from all other acids. Benefits in practical applications come, for example, from its nonoxidizing nature, the high solubility of its salts, the absence of color and odor, and the fact that it is readily biodegradable. Consequently, Lutropur MSA is becoming increasingly important in a number of applications and industries. Using a unique manufacturing process, BASF is able to provide a colorless and odorless product that is virtually free of metal ions and sulfates. Chlorinecontaining by-products are also ruled out by the halogen-free process. As a result, consumers in all relevant fields benefit from being able to use Lutropur MSA that is of very high purity. Lutropur MSA is supplied by BASF as a 70% aqueous solution under the brand name Lutropur MSA. Anhydrous Lutropur MSA is available under the brand name Lutropur MSA 100. Manufacturing Process In the manufacturing process developed and patented by BASF, sulfur, hydrogen and methanol are first converted into the intermediate product dimethyldisulfide (DMDS). The DMDS is refined by distillation and then catalytically oxidized with atmospheric oxygen to form methanesulfonic acid and water. A final distillation step ensures the unique purity of Lutropur MSA. Both BASF’s original production facility in Ludwigshafen, Germany (commissioned in 2003, annual capacity 10,000 metric tons) and the extension (to be commissioned in 2012, annual capacity 20,000 metric tons) operate according to this process. With a total annual manufacturing capacity of 30,000 metric tons, BASF is the world’s leading supplier of methanesulfonic acid. The advantages of this process are that it is very safe and reliable, the raw materials are readily available, the whole process is free of chlorine, and it fits very well into the integrated production complex in Ludwigshafen. This continuous process also ensures consistently high product quality Product Groups -Acids Function -Acid Form of Delivery -Liquid Chemical Description -Methanesulfonic acid in water Application -Dishwashing -Hard Surface Cleaning -Food and Beverage Processing -Food Service and Kitchen Hygiene Commercial Laundry -Institutional Cleaning and Sanitation Vehicle and Transportation Care -Industrial Cleaning Properties Lutropur MSA combines a number of beneficial physical and chemical properties. These properties make Lutropur MSA the reagent of choice in many different applications. Lutropur MSA is a strong organic acid with no oxidizing properties. Its high thermal stability compared with aromatic sulfonic acids is particularly useful in the synthesis of chemicals. One of the reasons why Lutropur MSA is so widely used in the electronics industry is that the salts that it forms with metals are highly soluble. Many organic salts of methanesulfonic acid also exhibit very good solubility properties. Especially methanesulfonates of heterocyclic nitrogen compounds often have a low melting point and are used as ionic liquids. Other advantages from the ecological point of view are its ready biodegradability and its low carbon content (TOC). With a melting point of –54°C, Lutropur MSA can be handled in the form of a liquid over a wide temperature range. Being odorless, Lutropur MSA can also be used in odor-sensitive applications and processors have a free choice when it comes to modifying the odor of their formulations. On the boundary between organic and inorganic chemistry With many of its properties, methanesulfonic acid is on the boundary between organic and inorganic chemistry. For example: Distribution between organic and inorganic phase This plays a role in catalysis: Lutropur MSA works better in an organic phase and can be washed out more easily than inorganic acids. Organic incrustations can also be removed more easily in cleaning processes. Acid strength: the acid strength of Lutropur MSA is between that of carboxylic acids and that of strong mineral acids. Lutropur MSA strong organic acid nonoxidizing easy to handle high thermal stability low vapor pressure no toxic fumes low carbon content (TOC) odorless colorless readily biodegradable hardly any contribution to COD free of nitrogen, phosphorus and halogens resistant to hydrolysis Lutropur MSA is odorless. Because the intensity of the odor is governed primarily by the vapor pressure of a compound, vapor pressure curves provide an indication of the odor intensity of a substance. Figure 1 shows the vapor pressure of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, formic acid, acetic acid and methanesulfonic acid as a function of temperature. The curves show that compounds with a strong odor, such as hydrochloric acid, acetic acid and formic acid, have a high vapor pressure, as would be expected. By contrast, methanesulfonic acid is characterized by an extremely low vapor pressure, which is consistent with its lack of odor The absence of any odor means greater safety at the workplace, as there are no acrid vapors. Formulators have more freedom to control the odor of their products if they use Lutropur MSA, which does not have any inherent odor to interfere with it. As a result, Lutropur MSA is preferred for use especially in high-temperature processes, e.g. in pickling baths, process cleaning solutions or the production of biodiesel, because it can be handled safely. Methanesulfonic acid is hygroscopic (cf. Chapter 6 Storage). This property becomes more pronounced as its concentration increases, and this is put to use in industrial applications. For example, with Eaton’s reagent (7.5% P2O5 dissolved in Lutropur MSA), water can be separated off from organic compounds without these compounds being oxidized. [4] 3.2 Chemical properties 3.2 a. Acid properties – the anion makes all the difference The strength of acids has a wide-ranging influence on the rate at which they react. For example, when limestone is dissolved, the protons present in the acid solution react with the insoluble calcium carbonate to form carbon dioxide, water and the soluble calcium salt of the acid being used (Figure 2). Therefore, the more protons, i.e. active species, the acid used is able to supply, the greater the efficiency of the dissolving process. Many other salts of Lutropur MSA, including rare-earth salts and compounds with nitrogenous bases, also have a remarkably high solubility (cf. Table 3). Because of the excellent solubility of the organic and inorganic methanesulfonates, methanesulfonic acid is used in applications where this feature, combined with the other beneficial properties of Lutropur MSA, provides crucial advantages: all types of acid cleaning processes electroplating neutralization of active chemical and pharmaceutical ingredients extractive metallurgy and mining metal recycling dissolving of rock industrial washing processes ionic liquids 3.2 c. Redox stability Lutropur MSA is very resistant to strong oxidizing agents. For example, it does not react, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid or permanganate. This means, amongst other things, that Lutropur MSA can be used in formulations that contain such oxidizing agents. Even in hot chromosulfuric acid, Lutropur MSA is relatively stable. This is also evident in the determination of the COD value, which, at about 4 mg O2/g COD, is equivalent to only about 2% of the amount of oxygen required theoretically for complete oxidation [6]. Lutropur MSA is also resistant to strong reducing agents, such as nascent hydrogen. In the cyclic voltammogram this high redox stability can also be seen in the electrochemical stability of Lutropur MSA. Lutropur MSA is stable over a remarkably wide range. At about 3.8 volt, the electrochemical window (ECW) of stability is very wide (cf. Figure 6). Not only the redox stability of Lutropur MSA, but its high level of stability generally should be highlighted. Apart from the formation of salts, Lutropur MSA hardly reacts chemically with anything and is therefore practically inert. That also means that, under practical conditions, no unwanted secondary reactions take place. Lutropur MSA is not subject to hydrolysis does not undergo addition reactions does not undergo substitution reactions is stable in air to 180°C Methanesulfonic acid is readily biodegradable according to OECD Guideline 301 A, forming carbon dioxide, sulfate, water and biomass as decomposition products. Of all the organic sulfonic acids, Lutropur MSA is the best choice from the environmental point of view because its oxygen demand for degradation is lower than that of all other organic sulfonic acids. As a result of its high resistance to oxidation, the measured chemical oxygen demand (COD) is also well below the figure for e.g. readily oxidizable carboxylic acids such as acetic acid. Because it contains no phosphorus, Lutropur MSA, unlike phosphoric acid, does not contribute to eutrophication and the associated increase in algal growth in aquatic environments. It is free of halogens and nitrogen and has a low toxicological risk potential to complete its attractive property profile. Methanesulfonic acid is formed as the result of the photochemical oxidation of dimethylsulfide in the atmosphere and is thus part of the natural sulfur cycle [5]. Lutropur MSA also has a lower vapor pressure than other acids (cf. Chapter 3), which is a further advantage from the point of view of safety at work and environmental protection. Therefore − unlike carboxylic acids such as acetic acid or glycolic acid − it is virtually free of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Further advice and information can be found in the safety data sheets for Lutropur MSA and Lutropur MSA 100. Lutropur MSA 100 strong organic acid. It has advantage that many of the salts that it forms with metals are very soluble in water. It is readily biodegradable, and it is also distinguished by its high thermal stability and its high conductivity. Lutropur MSA 100 strong organic acid. It has advantage that many of the salts that it forms with metals are very soluble in water. It is readily biodegradable, and it is also distinguished by its high thermal stability and its high conductivity. Lutropur MSA is a strong odorless organic acid that is fast acting, effective and safe for the environment, along with combines all these benefits while removing: Lime scale faster than other typical acids Calcium oxalate as well as other calcium deposits Rust and Grime Lutropur MSA shows high solubility of its salts for a highly efficient cleaning and high thermal stability.

General description The product is a 70% aqueous solution of methanesulfonic acid (MSA). Lutropur MSA is a strong organic acid. The chemical oxidation of dimetyl sulfide in the atmosphere leads to the formation of MSA in large quantities.[1] Lutropur MSA undergoes biodegradation by forming CO2 and sulphate. Lutropur MSA is considered a green acid as it is less toxic and corrosive in comparison to mineral acids. The aqueous Lutropur MSA solution has been considered a model electrolyte for electrochemical processes. Application of Lutropur MSA Methanesulfonic acid solution may be used to study the corrosion behavior of stainless steel. Marinosulfonomonas methylotropha strain TR3 is a marine methylotroph that uses methanesulfonic acid (Lutropur MSA) as a sole carbon and energy source. The genes from M. methylotropha strain TR3 encoding methanesulfonate monooxygenase, the enzyme responsible for the initial oxidation of Lutropur MSA to formaldehyde and sulfite, were cloned and sequenced. They were located on two gene clusters on the chromosome of this bacterium. A 5.0-kbp HindIII fragment contained msmA, msmB, and msmC, encoding the large and small subunits of the hydroxylase component and the ferredoxin component, respectively, of the methanesulfonate monooxygenase, while a 6.5-kbp HindIII fragment contained duplicate copies of msmA and msmB, as well as msmD, encoding the reductase component of methanesulfonate. Both sets of msmA and msmB genes were virtually identical, and the derived msmA and msmB sequences of M. methylotropha strain TR3, compared with the corresponding hydroxylase from the terrestrial Lutropur MSA utilizer Methylosulfonomonas methylovora strain M2 were found to be 82 and 69% identical. The msmA gene was investigated as a functional gene probe for detection of Lutropur MSA-utilizing bacteria. PCR primers spanning a region of msmA which encoded a unique Rieske [2Fe-2S] binding region were designed. These primers were used to amplify the corresponding msmA genes from newly isolated Hyphomicrobium, Methylobacterium, and Pedomicrobium species that utilized Lutropur MSA, from Lutropur MSA enrichment cultures, and from DNA samples extracted directly from the environment. The high degree of identity of these msmA gene fragments, compared to msmA sequences from extant Lutropur MSA utilizers, indicated the effectiveness of these PCR primers in molecular microbial ecology. Applications Methane sulfonic acid 70% solution (Lutropur MSA) is used virtually in all electronic applications involving tin or tin-alloy plating from non fluoborate systems. It replaces phosphoric acid in detergent formulations, thereby helping to avoid environmental phosphate pollution. Lutropur MSA is used in the preparation of polyaniline/graphene nanocomposites, which enhances its thermal and electrical properties. Lutropur MSA is utilized for electropolishing of aluminum as well as in electroplating of noble metals like gold, platinum, palladium and their alloys. Solubility Miscible with water. Slightly miscible with benzene and toluene. Immiscible with paraffins. Lutropur MSA's production and use as a catalyst in esterification, alkylation, olefin polymerization, and peroxidation reactions and as a solvent may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. Lutropur MSA is produced by atmospheric hydrolysis of dimethyl sulfoxide, which itself is produced from naturally-derived dimethyl sulfide. If released to air, a vapor pressure of 4.28X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates Lutropur MSA will exist solely as a vapor. Vapor-phase Lutropur MSA will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 58 days. Lutropur MSA does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. If released to soil, Lutropur MSA is expected to have very high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 1. The pKa of Lutropur MSA is -1.86, indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts. Volatilization from moist soil is not expected because the acid exists as an anion and anions do not volatilize. Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 100% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in four weeks indicating that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process. If released into water, Lutropur MSA is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the estimated Koc. The pKa indicates Lutropur MSA will exist almost entirely in the anion form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process. Lutropur MSA is miscible with water and therefore bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process since this compound lacks functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions. Occupational exposure to Lutropur MSA may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where Lutropur MSA is produced or used. Monitoring data indicate that the general population may be exposed to methansulfonic acid via inhalation of ambient air; Lutropur MSA is widely detected in marine air. Lutropur MSA is produced by atmospheric hydrolysis of dimethyl sulfoxide(1), which itself is produced from the atmospheric photochemical oxidation of dimethyl sulfide, which comes from marine algae and salt marsh plants(2). Lutropur MSA's production and use as a catalyst in esterification, alkylation, olefin polymerization, peroxidation reactions(1) and as a solvent(2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC). Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that Lutropur MSA is expected to have very mobility in soil(SRC). The pKa of Lutropur MSA is -1.86(3), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). Volatilization from moist soil is not expected because the acid exists as an anion and anions do not volatilize. Lutropur MSA is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 4.28X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C(5). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 100% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in four weeks(6) indicating that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC). AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that Lutropur MSA is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). A pKa of -1.86(3) indicates Lutropur MSA will exist almost entirely in the anion form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(4). Lutropur MSA is miscible with water(5) and therefore bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 100% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in four weeks(6) indicating that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in water(SRC). ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), Lutropur MSA, which has a measured vapor pressure of 4.28X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase Lutropur MSA is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 58 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.8X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Lutropur MSA does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of Lutropur MSA with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 2.8X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 58 days at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). Lutropur MSA is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(2). Lutropur MSA does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(2) and therefore is not expected to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of Lutropur MSA can be estimated to be 1(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that Lutropur MSA is expected to have very high mobility in soil. The pKa of Lutropur MSA is -1.86(3), indicating that this compound will almost entirely exist in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). Lutropur MSA had sub-micrometer-aerosol concentration peaks of approximately 0.47 and 0.4 mol/cu m in February and December, respectively, in the atmosphere at Cape Grim off of Australia in 1989(1). Lutropur MSA was found at the highest levels in atmospheric samples collected around noon and concentrated in the smaller size particles (0.25-2 um in diameter) at concentrations of 5.3, 5.5, and 15.7 ng/cu meter in samples taken from the Southern Bahamas, the Northern Bahamas, and the Sargasso Sea, respectively(2). Lutropur MSA was found in Germany at concentrations of 0.02 - 0.43 ug/cu m in atmospheric samples taken in October and November of 1978(3). Aerosol Lutropur MSA was detected at six stations in the Pacific at mean concentrations of 0.097, 0.029, 0.044, 0.026, 0.021, and 0.024 ug/cu m(4). Aerosol Lutropur MSA has been found at mean concentrations of 9.27X10-9 and 1.14X10-9 mol/cu m in July of 1985 and December of 1986 in the marine atmosphere of the British Isles(5). NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 8,084 workers (1,393 of these were female) were potentially exposed to Lutropur MSA in the US(1). Occupational exposure to methane sulfonic acid may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where Lutropur MSA is produced or used. Monitoring data indicate that the general population may be exposed to Lutropur MSA via inhalation of ambient air(SRC). Lutropur MSA (MsOH) or methanesulphonic acid (in British English) is a colorless liquid with the chemical formula CH3SO3H. It is the simplest of the alkylsulfonic acids. Salts and esters of Lutropur MSA are known as mesylates (or methanesulfonates, as in ethyl methanesulfonate). It is hygroscopic in its concentrated form. Lutropur MSA may be considered an intermediate compound between sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and methylsulfonylmethane ((CH3)2SO2), effectively replacing an –OH group with a –CH3 group at each step. This pattern can extend no further in either direction without breaking down the –SO2– group. Lutropur MSA can dissolve a wide range of metal salts, many of them in significantly higher concentrations than in hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. Applications Lutropur MSA is used as an acid catalyst in organic reactions because it is a non-volatile, strong acid that is soluble in organic solvents. It is convenient for industrial applications because it is liquid at ambient temperature, while the closely related p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) is solid. However, in a laboratory setting, solid PTSA is more convenient. Lutropur MSA can be used in the generation of borane (BH3) by reacting Lutropur MSA with NaBH4 in an aprotic solvent such as THF or DMS, the complex of BH3 and the solvent is formed. Electroplating Solutions of Lutropur MSA are used for the electroplating of tin and tin-lead solders. It is displacing the use of fluoroboric acid, which releases corrosive and volatile hydrogen fluoride.[5] Lutropur MSA is also a primary ingredient in rust and scale removers.[6] It is used to clean off surface rust from ceramic, tiles and porcelain which are usually susceptible to acid attack. Methanesulfonic acid (Lutropur MSA) is a green acid with a remarkably high solubility for several speciality and base metals including lead, making it an interesting leaching agent for metals. Lutropur MSA is safer and less toxic than the mineral acids (HCl, H2SO4, HNO3) currently employed for leaching metals from primary and secondary sources. In this study, Lutropur MSA was tested for the leaching of lead and zinc from the iron-rich jarosite residue of the zinc industry. The leaching of lead, zinc and iron increased as a function of the Lutropur MSA concentration in water up to 90 vol% Lutropur MSA. Higher Lutropur MSA concentrations resulted in precipitate formation due to the limited solubility of the iron and zinc methanesulfonate salts in water-lean Lutropur MSA. Leaching with pure Lutropur MSA resulted in a pregnant leach solution (PLS) comprising most of the lead and zinc, and a precipitate comprising the majority of the iron and a fraction of the zinc originally present in the jarosite. The optimization of the leaching conditions showed that increasing the liquid-to-solid ratio or temperature increased the leaching efficiencies of the metals, especially of lead. The leaching under optimized conditions was successfully performed on a larger scale using a temperature-controlled batch leaching reactor. The metal/iron mass ratio increased from 1/4 for Pb/Fe, and from 1/7 for Zn/Fe in the initial jarosite, to over 2.66/1 and 1/2, in the PLS, respectively. The remaining Lutropur MSA in the PLS was recovered by vacuum distillation and successfully reused for three leaching cycles.
