ROKAnol® NL4 is a non-ionic surfactant from the group of ethoxylated alcohols (INCI name: C9-11 Pareth-4). The product belongs to the ROKAnol® NL series based on C9-C11 synthetic alcohol. High surface activity allows them to be used mainly in detergents and cleaning agents. The commercial product contains about 100% of the active substance.
ROKAnol® NL4 takes the form of a clear or slightly turbid liquid, solidifying at about -10°C. At 40°C, it takes the form of a clear liquid with a light colour, i.e. up to 100 Hazen-scale. ROKAnol® NL4 exhibits poor solubility in water, forming turbid solutions. Its cloud point is at 60 ÷ 65°C in a butyl-glycol / water solution.
Due to the non-ionic nature, it works perfectly in combination with other non-ionic, cationic and anionic surface-active compounds. ROKAnol® NL4 stands out from other products of the ROKAnol® NL series with no foam generating capacity. In addition, it has very high detergency, emulsifying and dispersing properties. ROKAnol® NL4 is perfectly suited as a co-surfactant in all types of cleaning formulations, especially in products intended for industrial and institutional applications.
The basic feature of ROKAnol® NL4 is its high efficiency of degreasing hard surfaces. In combination with ROKAnol® NL6 and ROKAnol® NL8 it exhibits synergism in cleaning performance. Examples of such application are: degreasing agents for sheet metal and metal parts, floor cleaning products, professional products for gastronomy. ROKAnol® NL4 in cleaning formulations is usually used in the presence of a hydrotrope or solvent (e.g., BDG), which improves its stability in the formulation.
ROKAnol® NL4 is a biodegradable product and complies with biodegradable criteria laid down in Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 on detergents.
