Virendra V. Shah Sr.
Lead Application Chemist
     
  My company is concerned about the environment. What surfactants are available that offer biodegradability and performance?
 

 

 

 

 

Air Products is committed to green chemistry and offers a number of unique, high-performance additives prepared using clean process technology. The most recent of these are the EnviroGem® AE surfactants, a family of readily biodegradable, low-foam wetting agents based on Gemini surfactant technology.
 
These 100% active, low-viscosity liquids provide multifunctional performance with excellent dynamic surface tension reduction and improved flow and leveling, as well as being suitable for use across a broad pH range.
 
EnviroGem AE surfactants are recommended for use in waterborne and other systems thatrequire environmentally friendly solutions.
