Colonial ZF Series Low Foaming Concentrates DESCRIPTION Colonial Chemical’s ZF Series is a line of surfactant products made to be easily soluble in concentrated alkaline solutions at room temperature but which exhibit low foaming nonionic behavior at elevated temperatures after dilution to end use concentrations. They are designed to provide superior detergency characteristics in the presence of strong electrolytes used in soak tanks, sprays, pipeline cleaners, and low foaming scrubbers.
