ROKAnol® IT9R is a non-ionic surfactant of the group of ethoxylated fatty alcohols. The product is part of a group of surfactants based on isotridecyl alcohol, iso-C13. ROKAnol® IT9R contains about 100% active substance. Its commercial form is a liquid with the consistency of oil or paste.
At temperatures close to 13°C the product solidifies, while at 50°C it becomes a clear liquid with a colour of max. 70 HU. ROKAnol® IT9R dissolves well in water and in low aliphatic alcohols. It has a higher hydrophilicity compared to ROKAnol® IT9, which has a favourable effect on its stability in an alkaline environment.
The product has a cloud point in the temperature range of 61÷63°C in aqueous solution. ROKAnol® IT9R is stable in oxidizing and reducing environments, as well as in the presence of hard water. Moreover, the product is resistant to acidic and alkaline environments, salts and organic solvents, the presence of which in the formulation is a result of fulfilment of special, restrictive requirements.
ROKAnol® IT9R is characterized by a much higher resistance to electrolytes, especially to alkalis, compared to the lower ROKAnol® IT series. As a result, it can be used in higher alkaline formulations, especially in professional detergents and auxiliaries for the textile industry. Due to the lack of ionic compounds in the chemical structure of the product, ROKAnol® IT9R can be used in combination with other non-ionic surfactants and in formulations with anionic and cationic surfactants.
Compared to other products from the ROKAnol® IT series, this product is distinguished by its high foaming properties and very short wetting time. Moreover, it has excellent degreasing and detergency properties, which result in a high level of dirt removal from knit and woven fabrics and hard surfaces.
ROKAnol® IT9R is a biodegradable product, compliant with the biodegradability criteria set out in Regulation (EC) No. 648/2004 on detergents.
