Physical Property Comparison
All the TRITON™ Alkyl Polyglucosides have very similar surface tensions and are comparable to the Glucopon® surfactants. The Draves Wetting Test illustrates the efficiency of a wetting agent based on the time required for a standard skein of cotton yarn carrying a standard weight to sink in a water solution of that wetting agent. The shorter the wetting times, at the specific concentration and temperature, the faster the cotton will be wetted by the surfactant solution.
In two separate formulations, TRITON™ CG-425 was compared to Glucopon® 425N and the internal High and Low controls. The TRITON™ CG425 demonstrated similar performance to the Glucopon® 425N, and to internal low performing and high performing controls.
- Hard Surface Cleaner formulations with TRITON™ CG425 have similar whiteness index compared to the high control formulation.
