ROKAmin K5 is a non-ionic surfactant with the INCI name: PEG-5 Cocamine. It belongs to the group of ethoxylated fatty amines with an average degree of ethoxylation of 5 moles. The commercial product contains about 100% of the active substance. ROKAmin K5 has the form of a clear amber liquid. Its freezing point is approx. -19°C. The product dissolves well in water.
ROKAmin K5 is used as an emulsifier for various pesticide preparations. It can be used alone or in combination with other surfactants. Special surfactant for industrial cleaners, dispersants, non-ionic emulsifiers and co-emulsifiers, also suitable for cationic emulsions. Anti-corrosion agent in oil field, mining and drilling and metalworking products.
Product advantages:
Application:
Due to the presence of a double oxyethylene chain at the nitrogen atom, the product exhibits a combination of action as a non-ionic and cationic surfactant in application, especially in acidic systems. Thanks to its cationic nature, the ROKAmin K5 molecule can form a single layer (film) on the metal surface. This makes the product anti-corrosive, especially in relation to ferrous metals.
Good emulsifying properties allow the product to be used in agrochemical formulations such as: EW, EC, SL, ME, WP, WG. The product is also suitable for the formation of cationic emulsions. It can be used alone or in combination with other surfactants in this application. On the other hand, in the lubricants industry it is used as a component of the formulation of cooling and lubricating liquids and flame-retardant hydraulic fluids.
ROKAmin K5 has very good detergent and dispersing properties, thanks to which it effectively removes solid dirt. The product works well in acidic and alkaline formulations and is also resistant to hard water. Thanks to such properties, it can be used in the industrial and institutional cleaning industry as a component of hard surface cleaners, industrial degreasers and metal cleaners. ROKAmin K5 also exhibits drying properties when used in washing preparations intended for car washes.
