DeTERGE™ LF-28 is a line of low-foaming surfactants known for their excellent wetting and detergency, making them suitable as primary surfactants. They are highly stable in alkaline environments, potentially eliminating the need for hydrotropes. These biodegradable, phenol-free, and phosphate-free surfactants are environmentally friendly. As modified carboxylates, DeTERGE™ LF-28 is recommended for formulations with caustic and alkaline electrolytes, though they are typically not suited for acidic systems, with the exception of DeTERGE™ LF-7315.
