CARPOL® NIONIC™ L-61

CARPOL® NIONIC™ L-61 Surfactant is a nonionic surfactant with a chemical structure designed to make it act as a defoamer in many applications. Even at very low concentrations, CARPOL® NIONIC™ L-61 can be used to reduce the superficial tension of liquids, including high viscosity liquids. Defoaming performance is a function of cloud point and end use temperature and CARPOL® NIONIC™ L-61 is our lowest foaming surfactant. These materials are water soluble at low temperatures and will flocculate when warmed above their cloud point.
