Polyethylene Drums: 55 gal. Freight Description: Bulk Shipment anionic-surfactant-08/shipping-data.php anionic-surfactant-08/applications.php NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactant 08 has the following common applications: Fountain Solutions - A unique ingredient in the formulation of offset printing fountain solutions. Lye Washing and Lye Peeling of Fruits and Vegetables - Speeds the peeling of fruits while removing field soil and micro organisms. Textile Processing / Bleaching - Stable in the presence of concentrated bleaching powder solutions. Mercerizing - Promoted extremely rapid mercerization of grey cotton goods while withstanding the rigorous treatment encountered in concentrated mercerizing liquors. Household & Industrial Cleaners / Wallpaper Penetrant - Used to eliminate much of the work involved in scrubbing or wallpaper removal. Agricultural Uses - A coupling agent for inorganic salts used in produce washing solutions. Metal Processing / Cleaning - Coupled with alkali, produces a surface cleaner that works more rapidly than alkali alone, providing a thoroughly clean surface suitable for plating or spraying. Carpet Cleaning - NIAPROOF Anionic Surfactant 08 is used in carpet cleaners because it does not resoil carpets like lauryl sulfates do. It can be used at 10% in the concentrate, diluted 20 to 1. Automotive - Used in the manufacture of whitewall tire cleaning. Photography - Used in photo finishing processes. High Mineral Acid Cleaners - Used to clean calcium and iron salts found in dairy production. Electrolytic Cleaning - Decreases the surface tension of the electrolytic solution to allow for the release of the hydrogen byproduct. Plating - Eliminates impurity pitting by dissolving without haze while decreasing the surface tension of the bath. Pickling - Reduces the amount of acid required for pickling while decreasing pickling time and providing a more uniform pickling solution Molding - Decreases mulling time and provides more uniform sized sand for use in casting molds and cores Pharmaceuticals - Enhances bactericidal properties of antiseptics, rapid fixing of histological specimens and is important in the manufacture of penicillin for breaking undesired emulsions and enhancing activity. anionic-surfactant-08/applications.php anionic-surfactant-08/solubilities.php Water Solubility - Miscible anionic-surfactant-08/solubilities.php anionic-surfactant-08/fda-status.php Section Use References FDA §173.315 Washing or assisting the lye peeling of fruits and vegetables, followed by a water rinse (maximum concentration 0.2% on a contained basis, 0.5%, as is) FDA §175.105 Component of adhesives used in articles intended for packaging, transporting or holding food.
