    Title:
    Searching for surfactants
    Summary:
    Need non-ionics for TTW laundry application
    Content:

    We're looking for non-ionic surfactants, and their combinations, to use in a TTW laundry application.  Preferred candidates would be peroxide stable.  If you have expertise in this area, or have surfactants you think would be a good fit, please respond.

    Thanks!

      Dear Mariana,

      IdeaConnection builds diverse teams to solve problems in R&D.  We have recently contracted with a major client for several complex challenges involving surfactants and completed a recruiting project to attract a large number of experts with deep knowledge of emulsifiers and surfactants to join our network.  Please let me know if you are interested in learning more about IdeaConnection and what we can offer to help solve your surfactant challenge. 

      Thanks,  Jim

      ISP offers its Surfadone LP  and EasyWet 20 surfactants that are effective wetters at low use concentration (0.01-0.5%, typically used @ 0.1%) and exhibit synergistic effects with anionic and nonionics surfactant.  The Surfadones are also listed on the US EPA Design for Environment Cleangredients database.  I have attached the brochures.

        Many thanks Frank for your quick answer. I'm aware of Surfadone LP, in fact, your representative down here is going to send me a sample to test. By the way, is it stable in a peroxide base? How about pH stability range?

        Very best

      I would anticipate Surfadone LP-100 to be relative stable in hydrogen peroxide at typical usage levels.  N-alkyl-2-pyrrolidones actually have been employed in hydrogen peroxide production as illustrated in US4,394,369.  With respect to pH, the products are stable from pH 1 -12. Above pH 12 and in the presences of alkali earth metals, I would anticipate hydrolysis between the nitrogen and carbonyl group of the pyrrolidone ring.
