DeTERIC™ XL

1 of 6 products in this brand
DeTERIC™ XL is a high-performance amphoteric surfactant stable across a wide pH range. It is readily soluble in water, including up to 35% sodium hydroxide solution, and remains effective at pH levels as low as 3.5. Compatible with anionic, nonionic, amphoteric, and cationic surfactants, DeTERIC™ XL's hydrotropic ability, detergency, and chelating properties make it ideal for use in vehicle cleaners, traffic film removers, and alkaline cleaners. It also functions as a foaming agent in oilfield applications. Please submit a document request or general inquiry form if you’d like to access an SDS in another language.
