- Formulation Guideline
Burco ECO-8170 can be used in both acidic and basic environments. The product is stable in solutions containing up to 50% caustic soda or potash. To avoid gel formation with caustic, premix ECO-8170 with water and other components before adding caustic.; To couple a nonionic surfactant into caustic, use 5 - 6 parts of Burco ECO-8170 for one part of nonionic surfactant. The exact amount required will vary with the builder system and the nonionic surfactant being coupled.; Use of solvents such as glycols, glycol ethers, and d-limonene in the formulation is possible.; To increase the amount of foam generated, surfactants such as Burcoterge C2P-39 (amphoteric) or Burco COPB-35 (betaine) can be added to the formulation provided that they are soluble in the builder system being used.; Formulation of DfE and Green Seal acceptable products should follow the guidelines published by the certifying bodies to ensure all standards are met for all materials in a given formulation.
