AQUA-CLEEN® HC – NONIONIC SURFACTANT

Aqua-Cleen® HC - Ethoxylated Surfactant

Non-Ionic Surfactant for High pH Formulations

Aqua-Cleen® HC is a high-performance non-toxic surfactant chemical used as an additive in neutral to highly alkaline aqueous cleaner degreaser formulations. It is designed to maximize cleaning performance in a wide range of applications and specifically in high ionic strength applications. It works well across a broad pH range and is particularly effective in caustic and brine solutions.

HIGH FOAM SURFACTANT FOR CAUSTIC BASED FORMULATIONS

Aqua-Cleen® HC is a proprietary ethoxylated surfactant based on sulfur chemistry. Its distinctive formulation provides outstanding surface spreading and wetting capacity, superior detergent properties, high efficiency oil splitting for easier recycling, excellent corrosion inhibiting ability and unique coupling properties. 

Aqua-Cleen® HC is safe to handle, and is inherently biodegradable. These characteristics and its superior detergent capabilities make Aqua-Cleen® HC a highly effective and safe cleaner and degreaser ingredient. 

Formulations containing Aqua-Cleen® HC are able to effectively wet, penetrate​,​ lift and disperse contaminants from surfaces.
