TERGITOL™ 15-S Surfactants
Unique range of nonionic products
Unparalleled combination of performance properties and cost benefits
TERGITOL™ 15-S Surfactants are based on a unique secondary alcohol, resulting in ethoxylates that deliver an unparalleled combination of performance properties and cost benefits compared to primary alcohol ethoxylates (PAEs), nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs), octylphenol ethoxylates (OPEs), and other general-purpose surfactants.
Better performance for formulation applications
Most likely, you will use a TERGITOL™ 15-S product when other surfactants like linear alcohol ethoxylates haven’t provided the performance you’re looking to achieve. A 15-S product can be used on its own or in combination with other ingredients. They are compatible with a wide range of solvents and offer easy handling. Consider that you may need to rebalance your formulation to achieve optimum performance, and our technical team members can help.
Applications
Home Care, Industrial & Institutional Cleaning
Better penetration of soils at low dosages to allow easy wipe off on hard surfaces and wetting to enable shorter wash cycles, without compromising whiteness maintenance.
Crop Protection
Enhanced wetting, dispersion and emulsification for more efficient application of herbicides and pesticides.
Coatings
Excellent handling due to low pour points and narrow gel range. Use when needing to improve color acceptance.
Food & Beverage
Meet regulatory requirements demanded in applications with direct and indirect contact with food.
