Cola®Teric JEM CTFA/INC NAME: Mixed C8 amphocarboxylates
DESCRIPTION Cola®Teric JEM, derived from mixed caprylic and ethylhexoic acids, is a surfactant with low foaming characteristics that is stable in alkaline medium. Cola®Teric JEM can be sprayed onto dry caustic soda, which will not discolor even after prolonged storage. Cola®Teric JEM is recommended for use in bottle washing compounds, wax stripping formulations, for alkaline degreasing (containing 12 to 18% caustic soda), electrolytic degreasing, and fruit and vegetable lye peeling.

PERFORMANCE DATA Cola®Teric JEM reduces the surface tension of water and 4% caustic soda solutions, as the following typical results demonstrate: Cola®Teric JEM, % 1.0 0.5 0.25 0.12 0.06
Dynes/cm in 4% NaOH 29.0 29.1 29.8 32.3 35.1
Dynes/cm in H2O 28.7 29.3 29.8 30.5 30.9
Wetting and penetrating properties of Cola®Teric JEM were tested by the DravesClarkson Test in 20% caustic solution at 20°C. A sinking time of 41 seconds was obtained with only 0.175% Cola®Teric JEM. Wetting times were shorter at higher temperatures.
