BioLoop 68L

Product Category: BioLoops

A BioLoop Surfactant - The next generation of green surfactants

Quick Links

Introducing a new range of bio-based surfactants containing components that are 100% renewable. This product is based on a hydrophilic loop reacted onto a vegetable oil hydrophobe, and being palm oil free has a good sustainability profile. Unlike many bio-based surfactants, this product offers excellent surfactant properties and can be used as a green alternative to the conventional synthetic nonionics, such as alcohol ethoxylate.

Key Features

​

• Based on BioLoop technology

• 100% renewable

• No skin or eye irritancy

• No ecotoxicity

• Biodegradable

• Medium - High foam

• Good detergency

• A green alternative to alcohol ethoxylates

Applications

Good detergency:

• Hard Surface cleaners and general cleaners. In formulations that contain alcohol ethoxylates then use BioLoop 68L as a green alternative. Also, the SDS classifications will help ensure no hazard classifications.

Excellent substrate wetting on Nylon 6, Nylon 66 and Polycarbonates:

• Can be used in textile applications that contain Nylon.

Foaming Profile

​

Test method

A 0.1% solution is prepared and aerated for 30 seconds and then stopped. The degree of foaming is assessed initially and then after 1, 3 and 5 minutes.

Conclusion

​

When compared to our full range of surfactants would be classed a MEDIUM foam surfactant.

Detergency Profile

​

Test method

​

A formulated soil is applied to a painted disc and then aged in an oven. The disc is then soaked in a detergent solution for 10 minutes and then rotated for a further 5 minutes. The % soil removal is then measured.

Results: 

Substrate Wetting

​

Test method

A 0.5% solution is prepared and is dropped onto various substrates. The contact angle is then measured using a goniometer. The angle is measured initially and then after 5 seconds. The lower the angle the better the product wets the substrate.
