The Whitaker Company > Products > Surfactant JL-80X

SUMMARY

Surfactant JL-80X, an alkoxylated linear alcohol, is a clear, water-soluble, biodegradable, nonionic surface-active agent. It provides good detergency and wetting properties and low freeze and pour points. This product is non-gelling in water at 25 °C and higher temperaSurfactant JL-80X is compatible with nonionic surfactants and most anionic and cationic surfactants. Surfactant JL-80X is used in industrial cleaning compounds, paint brush cleaners, household detergents, concrete additives, dust control compositions, textile and paper manufacture, wetting agents for clays used in wallpaper removal, and the manufacture of bricks and ceramics.
