MACKAM® JEM

1 of 62 products in this brand
MACKAM® JEM is a high-performance amphoteric wetting agent derived from plant-based raw materials. It is stable in highly alkaline systems and compatible with phosphate builders, providing low, stable foam in formulations. MACKAM® JEM effectively integrates other surfactants into heavily built hard surface cleaners and serves as a functional equivalent to sodium xylene sulfonate. When used in glass and hard surface cleaners, it offers low film and streak properties. It is compatible with anionic, nonionic, amphoteric, and cationic surfactants.
