Sulfanol EC-LF Liquid

A versatile low foam high performance APEO free wetting cum scouring agent for cotton, synthetics and blended fabrics in high turbulence machines and also effective in continuous ranges.

Your Advantage
§ Very good wetting and scouring properties and low foaming. Ensures trouble free continuous wet processing of piece goods
§ Uniformly wets out the fabric and enables the pad liquor to penetrate the fabric in the shortest possible time
§ Promotes uniform pick up of the treatment liquor
§ Good stability to alkali, acid and electrolytes
§ Highly efficient at low dosage
§ Suitable for enzymatic desizing

Features
§ Ideally suited for scouring and bleaching in high turbulent machines due to its low foaming nature
§ Stable over a wide range of pH, which ensures versatile application in scouring, demineralization, desizing, scouring and bleaching.
§ Does not need Defoamer/antifoaming agents that are temperature sensitive and which can disintegrate under high shear conditions.
