SURFCROP ® AEFA - 1800B:

SURFCROP ® AE Series, nonionic Surfactants in nature, are produced by reacting ethylene oxide with alcohols. The lower alcohols react to produce glycol ethers, commonly used as solvents, while the longer chain of fatty alcohols are produced as fatty alcohol ethoxylates. The reaction occurs by passing ethylene oxide through the alcohol at high temperatures and pressure.

applications:

SURFCROP ® AE Series are a group of high-performance surfactants with low toxicity, great emulsification, dispersion, wetting and compatibilizing properties. They are very effective emulsifiers and are based on mixed hydrophobes, showing good emulsification control over a scattered range of HLB. These surfactants are relatively stable in alkaline and acidic media and can replace other nonionic surfactants in agrochemical formulations.

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.
A Material Safety Data Sheet is available upon request.
