MARLOX® RT 64

MARLOX® RT 64 is one of the many low-foaming EO/PO non-ionic surfactants produced by Sasol Chemicals in Germany. These alcohol alkoxylates are based on Sasol’s wide range of linear and semi-linear fatty alcohols. They are produced by alkoxylation of the fatty alcohols to varying degrees using ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. MARLOX RT 64 is a turbid liquid at room temperature and essentially 100% active.
