The Heliwet FA 10 series is a range of non-ionic tensioactive products obtained by ethoxylation of a saturated alcohol with an average chain length of C10. This short alcohol results in rapid moistening and is typified by a characteristic odour. As a result of the short-start alcohol, no gel phase is formed when mixing or dispersing in water.
The Heliwet FA 91 series is a range of non-ionic tensioactive products obtained by ethoxylation of a saturated alcohol with an average chain length of iso-C10. The compact, branched structure of the alcohol results in more rapid moistening than with a comparable chain length. As a result of the short-start alcohol, no gel phase is formed when mixing or dispersing in water.
The Heliwet FA 13 series is a range of non-ionic tensioactive products obtained by ethoxylation of a saturated alcohol with an average chain length of iso-C13. The branched structure makes this a suitable foundation for the production of (micro-) emulsions, in combination with anionic or other non-ionic products. Due to the length of the alcohol, a gel phase is formed when mixing or dispersing in water. This property can be used to increase the viscosity of the formulation.
The Heliwet FA 24 series is a range of non-ionic tensioactive products obtained by ethoxylation of a saturated alcohol with an average chain length of C12/C14. The fatty alcohol has a linear structure and is obtained from palm kernels and/or coconut oil. Due to the length of the alcohol, a gel phase is formed when mixing or dispersing in water. This property can be used to increase the viscosity of the formulation.
The Heliwet FA 35 series is a range of non-ionic tensioactive products obtained by ethoxylation of a saturated alcohol with an average chain length of C12/C15. Due to the length of the alcohol, a gel phase is formed when mixing or dispersing in water. This property can be used to increase the viscosity of the formulation.
The Heliwet FA 68 series is a range of non-ionic tensioactive products obtained by ethoxylation of a saturated alcohol with an average chain length of C16/C18. The fatty alcohol has a linear structure and is obtained primarily from palm oil. Due to the length of the alcohol, a gel phase is formed when mixing or dispersing in water. This property can be used to increase the viscosity of the formulation.
