MACKAMINE® LO

1 of 19 products in this brand
MACKAMINE® LO is a pure lauramine oxide that delivers excellent foam boosting and foam stability. It is compatible with most surfactants and, due to the absence of amide or ester groups, will not hydrolyze in acidic systems. MACKAMINE® LO is also stable in highly alkaline products.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • Store in sealed containers below 30°C in a dry place out of direct sunlight. If material becomes hazy after exposure to cold gently heat to 35°C and mix before use.
  • Handle between 15°C - 60°C. Avoid prolonged exposure to heating as this may lead to degradation.
