Low Foam Surfactant Hydrotrope
 
 

MASURF 1296 is a highly efficient organic phosphate surfactant that delivers exceptional low foam hydrotrope performance. 1296 represents unique system that contributes surface activity, wetting, and detergency with excellent solubility and stability in alkaline and high electrolyte systems. MASURF 1296 is recommended for all alkaline applications where efficient low foam detergency is critical, including Household & Industrial detergents, Spray Wash formulations, Textile mercerizing bath additives, Hypochlorite containing detergents and Automatic Dishwash liquid detergents.

The optimized micellar performance of MASURF 1296 allows for high alkaline stability without the loss of detergency found in typical hydrotrope systems. 1296 is consistently low is color and odor, and dissolves quickly into water without a gel phase. Masurf 1296 is soluble in high electrolyte systems, with solubility in 30% sodium hydroxide, 35% potassium hydroxide, 20% tetrapotassium pyrophosphate or 40% sodium metasilicate.

MASURF 1296 is non-flammable, non-VOC, low foaming, alkaline stable, water soluble, and does not contain alkylphenol ethoxylates (APE’s).
