Calfax® 16L-35

Calfax® 16L-35 is an aqueous solution of sodium hexadecyl diphenyl oxide disulfonate, which has a clear light amber appearance and contains no halogenated solvents. Calfax® 16L-35 offers superior solubility and stability in electrolyte solutions such as brine, bleach, caustic and inorganic acids. The long, linear side chain promotes lower critical micelle concentration (CMC), higher surface tension and lower foam stability than the other Calfax® products. Calfax® 16L-35 offers substantially less foam than shorter chain disulfonates. It is an efficient emulsifier for ABS resins and styrene-butadiene latex, among others.

Calfax® 10L-45

Calfax® 10L-45 is a light amber, water soluble surface active agent that contains no halogenated solvents. It is an aqueous surfactant solution that is compatible with a broad range of high electrolyte solutions such as brine, bleach, caustic and inorganic acids. The high surface activity and the high electrolyte tolerance of Calfax® 10L-45 make it the surfactant of choice for the manufacture of latex emulsions for adhesives and foam rubber. These properties allow the user to operate the emulsification system under conditions that would not be usable with conventional surface active agents, permitting greater control over latex molecular weight and particle size.

Calfax® 10LA-75

Calfax® 10LA-75 is a amber, viscous soluble surface active agent that contains no halogenated solvents. Calfax® 10LA-75 is compatible with a broad range of high electrolyte solutions, such as brine, bleach, caustic and inorganic acids. The linear side chain of Calfax® 10LA-75 promotes emulsification and solubility in organic solvents. It is recommended that Calfax® 10LA-75 be added to water, if a dilution is needed, as high viscosity occurs when water is added to the Calfax® 10LA-75. The high electrolyte tolerance and surface activity of Calfax® 10LA-75 make it the surfactant of choice for making latex emulsions for adhesives and foam rubber.

Calfax® 6LA-70

Calfax® 6LA-70 is a clear amber liquid surface active agent that contains no halogenated solvents. It is compatible with a broad range of high electrolyte solutions, such as brine, bleach, caustic and inorganic acids. The linear side chain of Calfax® 6LA-70 promotes emulsification and solubility in organic solvents. This product is effective as a solubilizer, coupler and hydrotrope for use in acid and alkaline cleaners where conventional surfactants don't have enough solubility. It also finds application in glass cleaners, concentrated laundry detergents, kitchen and bath cleaners, pot and pan, hard surface cleaners and concrete cleaners.

Calfax® DB-45

Calfax® DB-45 is a clear light amber aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl branched dipheny oxide disulfonate. It contains no halogenated solvents and is compatible with a broad range of acids, alkalis, chlorine and peroxide bleaches and builders such as sodium carbonate and sodium metasilicate. The high surface activity and the high electrolyte tolerance of Calfax® DB-45 make it the surfactant of choice for the manufacture of latex emulsions for adhesives and foam rubber. These properties allow the user to operate the emulsification process under conditions that would not be usable with conventional surface active agents, permitting greater control over latex’s molecular weight and particle size. Calfax® DB-45 also aids in improving a latex emulsion’s thermal and mechanical stability.
