TRITON* DF-20 Ideal for challenging alkaline low foam cleaning

Why Buy • Superior grease removal from hard surfaces TRITON* DF-20? • Ideal for liquid cleaner concentrates--soluble in 30% sodium metasilicate, 50% TKPP, or 35% KOH • Requires no hydrotropes • Rapid wetting & spreading on hard surfaces • Biodegradable, non-APE based

Recommended • Alkaline spray metal cleaners – excellent cleaning with little foam especially For: aluminum and steel • Coatings removal – ideal for paint or floor strippers, or other highly caustic coating removers • Heavy-duty liquid hard surface cleaners – removes grease, waxy lubricants, cutting oils, mineral oils and fatty acid salts even at low surfactant concentrations • Automatic floor scrubbers – minimal foam reduces need for large waste tank on scrubbing machine, no additional defoamers required

What Products Do Product TRITON DF-20 Advantage We Compete With? Mona NF-20 (Uniqema) TRITON DF-20 has decreased foam with increased electrolyte concentration Colonial DF-20, ZF-20 (Colonial Chemical TRITON DF-20 provides lower foam and superior Inc.) performance. Antarox BL-600 (Rhodia) TRITON DF-20 has significantly better metal cleaning performance. Antarox B 12DF (Rhodia) TRITON DF-20 does not require hydrotropes for highly build solutions Dehypon LS-54 (Cognis) TRITON DF-20 is more effective at oily soil removal in high electrolyte soluitons. Makon NF-5 (Stepan) TRITON DF-20 tolerates even higher levels of builder without becoming cloudy. Plurafac B-26 (BASF) TRITON DF-20 has a lower cloud point, providing lower foam at lower temperatures Plurafac RA-43 (BASF) TRITON DF-20 is soluble at room temperature and requires no hydrotrope.

Sample Ingredients WT% TRITON DF-20 Formulation: 1.0-5.0 Heavy-duty spray Potassium Hydroxide, KOH (45% or 88%) cleaner for metal 15.0 Tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, EDTA (40%) 5.0

Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate, TKPP 25.0 Water 50.0-54.0 Preparation: If KOH pellets aer used, dissolve KOH pellets in water to make a 20-40 wt% KOH soluiton. Add TRITON DF-20 to KOH solution. Heat mixture to 50°C. Then mix for at least 15 minutes at 50 °C. Blend in required amount of water. Add EDTA and TKPP and mix well.

Use Instructions: Dilute 1 – 2 fluid ounces of the cleaner in 1 gallon of water.
