TOMAMINE® Amphoteric 12 surfactant is a biodegradable, low foaming, hydrotroping surfactant, designed for use in alkaline or acid cleaning formulations where the solubility of surfactants in high electrolyte content or water hardness is problematic. It is compatible with most anionic, nonionic, and cationic surfactants. In addition to low foaming and good biodegradability, it can provide exceptional coupling stability, wetting and detergency in a wide range of formulations. The multifunctionality and high-efficiency of TOMAMINE® Amphoteric 12 surfactant makes it an ideal replacement for sodium xylene sulfonate.
