High Alkaline Stable Low Foam Surfactant
 
 

MASURF NF-10 is a highly efficient, high alkaline stable surfactant that delivers exceptional low foam detergency. NF-10 represents a unique detergent system that features high alkaline hydrotrope properties of an anionic with low foam cloud point performance of a nonionic. MASURF NF-10 is recommended for all applications where efficient low foam detergency is critical, including Spray, Soak, In-Line and other Clean-In-Place systems.

The optimized micellar performance of MASURF NF-10 allows for high alkaline stability without the loss of detergency found in typical nonionic/hydrotrope systems. NF-10 is consistently low is color and odor, and dissolves quickly into water without a gel phase. With typical use concentrations of 3-5% in alkaline concentrates of 5-10% sodium hydroxide, MASURF NF-10 offers low surface tension with fast wetting for use on hard surfaces or textiles.

MASURF NF-10 is non-flammable, non-VOC, low foaming, alkaline stable, and water soluble.

Handling Information

Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) available from Mason Chemical Company for information on the safe use, handling and disposal of this product.

MASURF NF-10 is used to formulate stable high cloud point alkaline concentrates that readily dilute to low foam cleaners with high detergency. NF-10 is a unique product that combines high detergency with controlled low foaming characteristics as a function of temperature, product and builder concentration. The following data illustrate the builder concentration cloud point relationship, and the temperature dependant foaming characteristics:
