Chemal D-25

Chemal D-25 is recommended for evaluation in wetting and detergent applications.

Chemal D-25 is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the group of long-chain alkoxylated fatty alcohols. This product is a C12-18 alcohol, ethoxylated, propoxylated. Chemal D-25 has excellent emulsifying and dispersing properties and is often used in the manufacture of tablet- and powder-based detergents, including laundry and all-purpose applications. It also provides anti-dusting properties for powder cleaners. Chemal D-25 is offered as a clear, colorless to slightly yellow liquid with 100% active content. With a viscosity of < 100 cps, this product is easy to handle. When used at a dilution of < 1.0 wt%, it delivers excellent cleaning and wetting properties. Because this chemistry contains propylene oxide, it offers a low-foam profile that extends its usability across many industries. With an HLB of 12.6, this product belongs to the group of hydrophilic emulsifiers that are readily water-soluble. This material has a water cloud point of ~60 °C, making it extremely compatible with a wide range of cleaning products. Chemal D-25, among many other solvents, is highly soluble in water, acetone, and xylene.
