Cola®Trope INC CLEARANCES: TSCA, NDSL, ENCS, EINECS, NICAS and ECL

DESCRIPTION If you have high levels of electrolytes in your system, and need to couple nonionics and other surfactants into your products, then Cola®Trope INC is the product for you. Cola®Trope INC is a very versatile, low foaming surfactant/hydrotrope. It is especially effective in formulating alkaline built liquid detergent concentrates. This product is not generally intended for low pH systems.

SXC COMPARISON For some time, SXS has been the product of choice for use in built liquid detergent systems. We think that there are a number of reasons for considering Cola®Trope INC as a more viable alternative for today’s modern formulator. • •

• •

Cola®Trope INC is generally twice as effective as SXS when compared on an equal solids basis. Effectiveness is judged on the basis of either higher cloud point or lower Kraft point temperatures. Cola®Trope INC is a stand-alone surfactant and as such will contribute to the surface activity, wetting and/or detergency properties of the formulated product. In contrast, SXS only functions as a hydrotrope and never improves detergency. More over, SXS actually ties up some of the surfactant activity of the surfactants in the system! Cola®Trope INC has excellent stability in hypochlorite solutions. INC does not contribute to the degradation of the hypochlorite in the formulation like SXS. Cola®Trope INC is a fast wetter, taking only 22 seconds during a Draves wetting test in a hypochlorite solution.

For a reference point, consider that Cola®Trope INC is soluble in 10% Sodium Hydroxide and soluble in 20% Potassium Hydroxide.
