General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. This product is a biodegradable surfactant and is aligned with the 10th principle of Green Chemistry "Design for Degradation".
Tergitol 15-S-5 is a secondary alcohol ethoxylate with 5 ethylene oxide units

Application


  • Spreading on and penetration into thin, permeable print media: application to ink-jet printing.: This study explores the dynamics of spreading and penetration of liquids on thin, permeable media, focusing on applications in ink-jet printing. The research addresses the role of surfactants, like TERGITOL™ 15-S-5, in modifying the interfacial properties to optimize the print quality and efficiency (Daniel RC, et al., 2006).

Features and Benefits

  • Excellent emulsifier & detergent
  • Aids in rinseability of solvent-based systems
