ESTISURF® LF 181
It is easy to formulate alkaline cleaners with
ESTISURF® LF 181 is an optimized surfactant for application in strong alkaline cleaners
The product development process goes extremely fast, as ESTISURF® LF 181 is very compatible with alkaline salts.
This can be demonstrated by a simple comparison test between ESTISURF® LF 181 and a standard commodity surfactant.

The formulation of an alkaline degreaser is made with ESTISURF® LF 181 and with a standard surfactant.
The alkaline salts are dissolved in water, and the surfactant is added to this blend.
Result:
- The formulation with ESTISURF® LF 181 rapidly clears up and is stable during storage.
- The formulation with the standard nonionic surfactant stays turbid and will separate during storage.
