Spolapon PTS NaP is a hydrotropic substance used as a coupling agent, viscosity modifier, solubilizer and cloud point and crystallization temperature depressant in liquid cleaning, washing and laundry detergents.
Most commonly Spolapon PTS NaP is used in heavy duty cleaners, wax strippers, dishwashing liquids, hard surface cleaners and metalworking cleaners.
Hydrotropic properties of Spolapon PTS NaP are utilized for reducing the cloud point and crystallization temperature of complex blends. Solubilizing properties of the product can substitute function of a solvent in final formulations.
Spolapon PTS NaP serves also as an anti-caking agent in the process of spray drying of detergents and many other industrial applications.
