AVCO-BIOPAL LFB

BIODEGRADABLE, LOW FOAMING NONIONIC DETERGENT
AVCO-BIOPAL LFB is a biodegradable nonionic, low foaming surfactant, developed for use in jet machines and rotary washing/dyeing machines with high-speed turbulence as well as for high speed padding operations.
AVCO-BIOPAL LFB possesses excellent wetting, emulsifying and washing effect. It can be used in a wide pH range in textile pretreatment, dyeing and finishing.
AVCO-BIOPAL LFB is composed of biodegradable ingredients with no potential for bio-accumulation, and with no evolution of toxic compounds during biodegradation.
AVCO-BIOPAL LFB is environmentally acceptable, and can be regarded as a “GREEN” product.

SPECIFICATION:

Appearance Clear slightly viscous liquid
Chemical nature Blend of poly-ethoxylated long chain alcohols (APEO free)
Compatibility
  1. Compatible with all chemicals, commonly used in textile pretreatment and dyeing.
  2. Compatible with hard water, mild acids and alkalis
Ionicity Nonionic
pH (10% sol.) 7 ± 1
Storage Freezes at O°C, fully usable after thawing. Shelf life is at least 12 months.

FILM PROPERTIES:

  1. AVCO-BIOPAL LFB is applied for treatments of all kinds of textiles such as
    cotton,
    rayon and synthetic fibres.
  2. Detergent for high-speed machines or those with tendency to foam, e.g. jet-
    machines,
    overflow machine, rotary washing machines and high-speed continuous machines.
  3. AVCO-BIOPAL LFB is particularly recommended as wetting agent for enzymatic de-
    sizing.
    The efficiency of the enzymes is not impaired in any way. Penetration of the
    textile
    material with the de-sizing liquor is accelerated and loosening of the decomposed
    starch is facilitated.
  4. During kier-boiling, AVCO-BIOPAL LFB loosens waxes contained in the grey cotton,
    emulsifies them and disperses the pigment soil and decomposition products of the
    husks. Staining during kier-boiling is thus avoided.
  5. Because of its outstanding dispersing and emulsifying properties, AVCO-BIOPAL LFB
    is
    highly recommended for pre-cleaning, scouring and washing oily and greasy
    contaminations.
  6. AVCO-BIOPAL LFB can be applied in neutral, alkaline or slightly acidic liquors.
