About product

ROKAnol H5 is a non-ionic surfactant from the group of ethoxylated alcohols, which is one of the products based on low molecular weight alcohols. The product contains approx. 100% of the active substance and has the form of a clear or cloudy liquid that solidifies at a temperature below -20°C. ROKAnol H5 has good solubility in water. All these features enable easy handling of the product.

Description Properties Safety precautions

Non-ionic surfactant with high hydrophilicity. The product can be used as a hydrophilic emulsifier, a component of washing and cleaning agents, including professional ones. The product has a hydrotropic effect.

The cloud point of the product in a solution of butyldiglycol oscillates within the temperature range of 86÷89°C (10% solution). The product can be successfully used in the environment of oxidizing and reducing agents and hard water. Due to its ionic nature, this product can be used in a mixture with other non-ionic, anionic and cationic surfactants. ROKAnol H5 shows high hydrophilicity. Its hydrophilic-lipophilic balance is 13.5, which makes it a product with good O/W emulsifying properties. It also exhibits hydrotropic properties, thanks to which it improves the stability of the formulation.

The high surface active activity and high hydrophilic capacity of ROKAnol H5 are mainly used in detergents and cleaning agents. Due to its specific structure, the product has high penetrating abilities. This property affects the high quality of dirt removal from hard surfaces and fabrics / knitted fabrics. Due to so many advantages, the product is perfect as a component of weakly alkaline and acidic detergents, including products for professional use. Examples of such formulations are: universal cleaning liquids, bathroom and kitchen cleaners, floor cleaners, degreasing preparations for gastronomy, formulations for degreasing metal parts, or preparations used for heavy soiling (removal of oil stains from tire tracks). The product interacts with solvents and, thanks to its high penetrating properties, can be used in formulations intended for removing water-based paints.

ROKAnol H5 is also included in cleaning compositions intended for use in printing machines. In addition, the product works very well as a compatibilizer in the production of PUD dispersions and has the potential to emulsify polyethylene waxes.

ROKAnol H5 is biodegradable and meets the criteria of the detergents directive.
