MACKAMINE® LO-SP

1 of 19 products in this brand
MACKAMINE® LO SPECIAL is a light-colored amine oxide that offers 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 SPECIAL is also stable in highly alkaline products.
