BioLoop 56L-PG
Product Category: BioLoops
A BioLoop Surfactant - The next generation of green surfactants
Introducing a new range of bio-based surfactants containing components that are 100% renewable. Unlike many bio-based surfactants, this product offers excellent surfactant properties and can be used as a green alternative to conventional synthetic nonionic such as alcohol ethoxylates. It is based on soybean oil, which unlike some palm oil is a great sustainable source. BioLoop 56L-PG exhibits very low foam characteristics and can be used in detergent applications that require good foam control.
PG (Pure Grade) v Normal Grade
​
The normal grade of BioLoop surfactants are aimed at standard industrial-based processes in which clarity in an aqueous medium isn’t a necessity. The PG versions which denotes our purified grades are for industries in which clarity in aqueous mediums is essential.

Applications
​
The main feature of BioLoop 56L-PG is the low foam characteristics. This will lend itself to be used in applications where foam control is essential. Many applications that are subject to high shears such as industrial spray cleaners, textile axillaries and machine dishwashing applications need good foam control to function effectively.
• Machine dishwasher application
• Textile processing
• High-pressure spray cleaners
