MACKAM® OIP 40 is a 40% active aqueous solution of low molecular weight salt-free amphoteric surfactant. It effectively couples nonionic surfactants in systems with high electrolyte levels. This low foaming product offers good detergency in high cloud point systems and is soluble in ethanolic and isopropanolic solutions, as well as water, providing significant wetting contact angle reduction.
