Emulsifier CAS-160875-66-1 ROKAnol GA4

ROKAnol GA4 is in the form of a liquid with a tendency to delamination, and its solidification point is about 0°C. At 50°C, the product takes on a light color, which is max. 50 on the Hazen scale. Its cloud point is determined for a 16.7% ROKAnol GA4 solution in a 25% BDG solution and it is within the range of 42÷45°C.

The product forms cloudy solutions in water, but it dissolves well in organic solvents such as methanol or acetone. It can be part of mixtures with non-ionic, anionic and cationic surfactants.

ROKAnol GA4 has very good wetting properties (the lower the degree of ethoxylation of ROKAnol GA, the better wetting properties), which can be crucial for many applications, from cleaning hard surfaces to textile processing. In addition, ROKAnol GA4 generates very low foams, which is useful in the case of compositions where the use of anti-foaming agents is undesirable.

In dynamic tests imitating the action of a degreasing bath, the product achieves very good results, thanks to which it can be successfully recommended as a component of industrial cleaning agents or degreasing preparations, especially smooth surfaces (metal, glass, etc.). Due to the weak hydrophilic nature of the product, it can be used as an emulsifier for mineral oils and non-polar solvents in metal cleaning formulations.

ROKAnol GA4 is a product that is biodegradable in the natural environment and meets the criteria of the Detergents Directive.

ROKAnol GA4 is an ethoxylated Guerbet C10 alcohol with an average degree of ethoxylation of 4 moles. The product is used as a component of washing, washing and cleaning agents and as an emulsifier in industrial applications. 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 baths and in neutral alkalis. ROKAnol GA4 can be used in a mixture with other non-ionic auxiliary agents and in mixtures with anionic and cationic surfactants.

Product advantages:

• excellent degreasing properties,
• very good wetting properties,
• compatible with non-ionic, anionic and cationic surfactants,
• biodegradable product.

Application:

• cleaners for hard surfaces, engines, machine parts and tanks,
• household detergents.
