Technical Bulletin
Description : SURFONIC 900 Rx is the surfactant . It is a water soluble, nonionic surface-active agent which is compatible with other nonionic surfactants and with most anionic and cationic surfactants. It has highly degreasering and emulsifying capacity which remover oil and grease, stain etc, easily.
Application : SURFONIC 900 RX is a multipurpose, effective and versatile surfactant finding applications in a number of diversified industries. It has excellent degreasering, emulsification, detergent, penetration and dispersion properties.
- Wetting agents
- Degreaser
- Detergents
- Penetrants
- Solubilizing agents
- Dispersants
- Emulsifiers
Dose and Usage :
Degreasing : SURFONIC 900 RX is powerful degreaser and detergent at low concentrations. Therefore, it is use in the removal of heavy greases and industrial metal cleaning. Dose depends on cleaning application.
Textile : SURFONIC 900 RX is useful as a powerful wetting and sourcing agent in many textile processing applications. It also aids bleaching, desizing actions due to excellent wetting and penetration action. It is non-substantive to wool and can be used for scouring greater poundage of wool than anionics. It is also useful in dye leveling and kier boiling operations.
Agriculture : SURFONIC 900 RX is useful as a non-ionic component along with anionic surfactant for formulation of emulsifiers for pesticidal sprays.
Leather : SURFONIC 900 RX is useful as an ingredient in the formulation of tanning agents.
Paints : SURFONIC 900 RX is useful as pigment wetting and as an emulsifier in paint formulation.
Detergents : SURFONIC 900 RX is useful at low concentrations for formulation with anionics to obtain improved detergency. Blended with quaternary ammonium compounds it can yield germicidal cleaners for institutional cleaning. It can also be formulated as a liquid detergent with softeners.

TOXICITY AND SAFETY : For information on the toxicity and safe handling of this product, read the Material Safety Data Sheet prior to use of the product.
HANDLING AND STORAGE : SURFONIC 900 RX surfactant may be satisfactorily stored in carbon steel tanks using steel pipes and pumps. Caution must be exercised, however, to keep the material in the anhydrous state to prevent severe corrosion to the carbon steel tank and related equipment. A drier on the breathing nozzle is recommended to help maintain anhydrous conditions in the storage tank.
For longer term color stability, it is recommended that the product be stored under an inert atmosphere. Solid sediment may form upon standing. There should be circulation in the storage vessel to keep solids suspended.
Low pressure steam coils in storage tanks and steam tracing of transfer lines should be provided in cases where low environmental temperatures may make pumping of the product difficult.
SHIPPING DATA : Product is available in tank cars, tank trucks, canes, Catboys and drums of (220 Kgs) net weight.
BIODEGRADABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY : SURFONIC 900 RX surfactants and related products have been shown to undergo 90% to 100% loss of surface activity (primary biodegradation) under the Semi-continuous Activated Sludge Method and over 90% removal in sewage treatment plants.
