Lanspec OF32
Product Category: Anionics
Alky Ether Sulfate Sodium Salt
Lanspec OF32 is a sodium neutralised alkyl ether sulphate and finds application where high foaming, characteristcs are required, particularly in the presence of highy levels of electrolyte and polyvalent metal ions. Lanspec OF32 has good stability in the presence of
alkaline solutions at moderate temperatures, but will hydrolyse in acidic solutions. Lanspec OF32 finds applications in a range industries due to it’s key properties which include:
​
