T-Det® A 1216-9
T-Det® A 1216-9 is a solid, anhydrous surfactant produced by the reaction of a C12-16 linear alcohol with nine moles of ethylene oxide. Due to its ability to penetrate, wet, solubilize, disperse, and emulsify, it is effectively used in applications such as textile processing, metal degreasing, clay soil removal, firefighting, and industrial, institutional, and household cleaning.

- Known For
Detergency - an excellent detergent for textile fabrics and nonporous hard surfaces. Its exceptional wetting, dispersing, emulsifying and solubilizing properties enable it to be used alone or in combination with the usual builders. This product may typically be found in hard surface cleaners and laundry detergent formulations.; Dispersing - very useful in dispersing and suspending a variety of solids such carbon black, clay, color pigments and soil.; Wetting agent - a superior wetting and rewetting agent for general applications like dust settling, corrosion inhibition, metal cleaning and pickling.
- Storage, Stability and Handling Information
It should not be mixed with concentrated oxidizing or reducing agents, since the mixture of these compounds with organic compounds could potentially be explosive.
