Emulsifier CAS-68213-23-0 ROKAnol C7

ROKAnol C7, thanks to its very good detergent, wetting, dispersing and emulsifying properties, is used as a basic surfactant in liquid and powder detergents, dishwashing liquids, household and technical cleaning agents and hand cleaners. It can be used in the environment of oxidizing agents, reducing agents and hard water. It is active in cold water, in acidic, neutral and dilute alkali baths. ROKAnol C7 can be used in a mixture with other non-ionic auxiliary agents and in mixtures with anionic and cationic surfactants. In a mixture with alkyl sulphates and alkylaryl sulphonates, it has a synergistic washing and cleaning effect.

In addition, the product is used in the pre-treatment of fibers as a component of a formulation that removes oil stains (mineral oils) from fabrics/knitwear, which are the result of industrial knitting and weaving processes. Thanks to the wetting properties of cotton fabric, ROKAnol® C7 can be used as a component of bleaching compositions for raw knitted fabrics and cotton fabrics. It is also used in the final stage of the textile dyeing process as one of the components removing excess dyes from the bath. It is a biodegradable product in the natural environment.

ROKAnol C7 is used as a component of washing, washing and cleaning agents and as an emulsifier. It can be used in the environment of oxidizing agents, reducing agents and hard water.
