Vanconol® LFS-1903 Low-Foam Surfactant
Abstract
Vanconol® LFS-1903 Low-Foam Surfactant has a chemical composition of a mixture of acetylenic diol polyether and branched alcohol polyether. This product offers excellent dynamic surface tension performance, non-foaming behavior, penetration, emulsification, dispersion and detergency properties. It has strong emulsifying power, is stable to acidic and alkaline solutions, and has strong formulation versatility, allowing use together with other nonionic and anionic surfactants in cleaning and dyeing formulations that require low foam.
