Narrow range ethoxylates
NR ethoxylates are nonionic surfactants (nonionic surface-active agents). Narrow range ethoxylates are readily biodegradable and Narrow range ethoxylates have lower free alcohol and a peaked ethoxymer distribution around the target level of ethoxylation. These specialty alkoxylated surfactants offer improved performance compared to conventional ethoxylates.
All of the following surfactants have received the EPA's Safer Choice approval and been granted a Full Green Circle. You can see these approvals and listing at www.cleangredients.org under the Harcros Chemicals Inc. company page.
T-Det® A 26-Series NR ethoxylates are based on Harcros patented narrow range technology. Narrow range ethoxylates have lower free alcohol and a peaked ethoxymer distribution around the target level of ethoxylation. Their cloud point and solubility make these products suitable for use in a wide variety of formulations including hard surface cleaners, laundry detergents and all-purpose cleaners. Learn more about our alkoxylation capabilities.
T-Det® A 26-Series consists of linear C12-C16 ethoxylates. These products exhibit excellent detergent properties and can be used in a wide variety of formulations.
Compatibility, Handling & Storage
Due to its nonionic structure, this product is compatible with anionic and cationic surfactants and is stable in the presence of acids, bases, and salts. Please refer to SDS for further information
