Example of applications
APG1214 is a nonionic surfactant that provides superior detergency, emulsifying, penetrating and surface tension reduction properties. It shows good compatibility with all other types of surfactants. Synergistic and thickening effects can be found, especially when mixed with CAPB, SLS, SLES, etc. APG1214 is very effective in hard surface cleaning and processing. Like all APG products, APG1214 is mild and readily biodegradable.
Due to its unique performance in cleaning, emulsifying and thickening, APG1214 is widely used in personal care products, hard surface cleaners, I&I cleaners, agrochemical emulsifiers and formulations which require thickening effects.
Due to the presence of magnesium oxide (max. 300ppm) and the high pH value, turbidity, which has no negative effects on performance, may occur. When pH value is adjusted to neutral, its turbidity disappears. There may be crystallization when the product is stored at room temperature.
There may be sedimentation depending on storage time. In this case, the product should be heated and stirred until uniform before use.
