SURFCROP ® MT-1597:
SURFCROP ® MT Seriesis is synthesized by reacting taurine with methyl oleate, which is derived from oleic acid found in sources like olive oil. This reaction produces the surfactant compound. The resulting Surfactant is then typically neutralized Sodium Methyl Oleoyl Taurate. They are specifically tailored to suit agricultural applicaitons.applications:
SURFCROP ® MT-1572 is a high actives electrolyte tolerant wetting agent which shows strong performance in granule/powder based formulations. Widely compatible with the Gerenol ® Series of Surfactants as dispersing agents.Physical Properties

Surfactants which have been stored at low temperatures may thicken or solidify. They can be fluidized by warming with a drum heater or in a steam room. Drums should be vented prior to heating to avoid excessive pressure build up. Product temperatures over 54°C are not recommended.
Normal safety precautions (i.e. gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling these surfactants. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash
thoroughly after handling materials.
