Lutensol® TO 8

Lutensol® TO 8 provides high performance in Laundry and Hard Surface cleaning for Industrial, Institutional, and Home Care applications. Lutensol® TO 8 offers enhanced production process quality as compared to similar C13 -Alcohol Ethoxylates, due to its more consistent composition. It is a non-ionic medium branched surfactant based on BASF’s saturated iso-C13- alcohol. At 23°C Lutensol® TO 8 is a cloudy liquid, which tends to form a sediment, at 50°C it is clear. BASF also offers Lutensol® TO 89, a clear liquid at 23°C, which is a 90% solution of Lutensol® TO 8.

Benefits include superior wetting as compared to linear alcohol ethoxylates of similar chain length, a lower foam profile for medium foam applications, faster spreading in spray application to improve cleaning performance, effective degreasing power at low concentrations, and high formulation stability. This product yields strong performance when the mechanism of cleaning is by emulsification. Lutensol® TO 8 is also less difficult to defoam than TDA based ethoxylates, and offers lower viscosity during dilution, resulting in faster production. This product is biodegradable, has a great environmental profile, and is globally available.

Common applications include hard surfaces: floor, toilet, degreasing, all purpose, F&B open plant cleaner.
