Product Description
TRITON. X-114 is a liquid, water-soluble, nonionic surfactant that exhibits excellent wetting and detergent properties. TRITON X-114 is an octylphenol ethoxylate that contains an average of eight moles of ethylene oxide. Compared to other water-soluble nonionic surfactants with higher cloud points, TRITON X-114 provides lower foam in use dilutions at temperatures of 140°F and above and is very efficient in removing oily soils.
TRITON X-114 is highly efficient against all types of soil. It is recommended for controlled-foam laundry detergents, metal cleaners, and industrial and institutional hard-surface cleaners. It is also an excellent wetting agent and emulsifier for agricultural pesticide formulations. TRITON X-114 is effective as a biodispersant in cooling towers, where it improves the penetration and effectiveness of biocides, emulsifies oils, and disperses sludge.
