Lanphos TEP4K

Product Category: Anionics

Phenol + 4EO Phosphate Ester - Potassium Salt

Key Properties

​

• Does not change the foaming, wetting of other surfactants in formulations

• Hydrotrope to improve the solubility of nonionic and anionic surfactants

• High Acid, Alkali and Electrolyte stability

• Compatible with high levels of inorganic builders such as sodium potassium hydroxide, silicates, phosphates and polyphosphates

• Becomes surface active in highly alkali formulations: See Blog

Lanphos TEP4K isn't surface active at low alkaline levels as its unable to form micelles. This can be shown by the wetting profile below

Wetting draves 0.5g/​l

However as you increase the pH then the product becomes more surface active and temperature increases can also enhance the surface activity.
