ECOSURF™ EH series: fast wetting, low odor, Prop 65 free nonionic surfactants
ECOSURF™ EH Specialty Surfactants are a proven line of biodegradable, nonionic surfactants with low aquatic toxicity that provides flexibility for multifunctional formulations that meet or exceed regulatory requirements for industrial and consumer cleaning products.
An excellent choice for your formulating needs.
The exceptional physical and chemical properties of ECOSURF™ EH Surfactants effectively address the increasing demands of formulators today. The ECOSURF™ EH surfactant series performs well in the production of industrial and consumer products alike.
- Prop 65 free (Safer Choice)
- Low foam with rapid foam collapse
- Excellent wetting and hard surface cleaning performance
- Fast dynamic surface tension
- Enhanced formula stability
- Rapid dissolution
- Very narrow gel range
- Low odor, especially compared to PAEs
Regulatory
ECOSURF™ EH Surfactants are readily biodegradable (> 60 percent biodegradation within 28 days per OECD 301F) and have an aquatic toxicity of EC50 > 10 mg/L. These surfactants meet the criteria for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Safer Choice Surfactant Screen and are listed on CleanGredients®.
Properties for a wide range of applications.
ECOSURF™ EH Specialty Surfactants meet U.S. EPA Safer Choice Surfactant Screen Criteria and are listed on CleanGredients®. These readily biodegradable specialty surfactants provide performance equal to alkylphenol ethoxylate (APE) surfactants and are better than primary alcohol ethoxylate (PAE) surfactants in many applications including hard surface cleaning, textile processing and any application in which excellent wetting performance is required.
