Low foam surfactants
Low foaming Surfactants are produced by managing the degree of alkoxylation process or by adjusting the alkyl chain of the alcohol.
Esteem India offers various low foam non-ionic wetting agents and surface-active agents based on various grades of alkoxylated alcohols. These specialty surfactants and low foaming tensides are effectively used in a wide variety of applications due to their fast wetting properties combined with low foam, low dynamic surface tension, and excellent detergency. Most of these have low freezing point and are non-gelling when added to water.
These low foam non-ionic surfactants are the perfect solution for various applications in Home, Industrial & Institutional Cleaning Industry. These specially designed products help in achieving multiple properties and functions, such as soil removal, foaming and foam control, wetting, emulsification and dispersion. Our low foam surface-active compounds are designed specifically for low-foaming applications such as mechanical dishwashing, metal cleaning, dairy equipment cleaning and pulp and paper additives. Most of these surfactants are compatible with anionic, cationic and other non-ionic surfactants and are not affected by the hardness of the water.
Eo-Po Copolymer
These end capped surfactants are specially developed for applications which requires low-to-no-foam performance. Along with excellent and wetting properties these products are designed to provide caustic and acid stability.
