ROKAmer 2100 – EO/PO-Blockcopolymer

ROKAmer 2100 - EO/PO block copolymer belongs to non-ionic surface-active compounds from the group of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide block copolymers. The product is a high-molecular copolymer with a specific, bifunctional structure, which means that it has two hydrophilic groups. This feature distinguishes the ROKAmer group from other non-ionic surfactants and determines their properties. The product is a colorless and clear liquid, containing about 100% of the active substance. It has a low freezing point (below 0°C). Aqueous solutions of ROKAmer 2100 become turbid at 23-27°C, while below room temperature they become clear. The product is a reactive substance, thanks to which it can be subject to further chemical modification. In addition, it is a product resistant to hard water.

ROKAmer 2100 has excellent low-foaming and anti-foaming properties, which makes it suitable for use as a component of professional washing and cleaning detergents. It is also characterized by good degreasing and wetting properties and moderate hydrophobicity. These features make it successfully used, among others, as a component of dishwasher detergents, metal degreasing agents and for industrial bottle washing.

ROKAmer 2100 works great in Clean in Place systems. It is a component of washing mixtures in brewing. Thanks to its anti-foaming and defoaming properties, the product reduces foam in washing baths, even in the presence of starch and proteins. Thanks to its properties, it reduces the surface tension between the liquid and the air, and at the same time improves the "drainage" of foam, resulting in its reduction. ROKAmer derivatives work great as anti-foam additives in paper production, in the food industry during sugar production and in other industrial sectors where there is a problem of excessive foaming of technological water or sewage.

ROKAmer 2100 is also a surfactant dedicated to the agrochemical industry, where it is an ingredient mainly in EC, SC, SE pesticide formulations.

The product and its derivatives have been approved as antifoaming substances for indirect food contact by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the following FDA sections:

• 173.340
• 175.105
• 176.170
• 176.210
• 177.1680
• 177.1200
• 178.1010
• 178.3400
• 178.3570

The product should be used in accordance with FDA definitions and guidelines, particularly regarding safe product dosing.
