SUMMARY
Surfonic L12-6, a clear colorless liquid with a slight odor is a nonionic surface-active agent derived from a six-mole ethoxylation process of linear, primary alcohols containing 10-12 carbon atoms. Surfonic L12-6 is a water-soluble compound that exhibits excellent compatibility with various nonionic, anionic, and cationic surfactants. Surfonic L12-6 is used in detergents, personal care products, laundry pre-spotters, hard surface cleaners, and as an adjuvant for agricultural herbicides and insecticides.
