Applications

Libranox AO 12/14 is commonly used in cleaning product formulations; it is an excellent surfactant, providing detergency, foam boosting and foam stabilising properties. It is compatible with and used in both sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide-based bleach products. In high pH cleaning products Libranox AO12/14 produces a dense, stable foam. It is a common surfactant in industrial cleaning formulations where the product is sprayed onto contaminated equipment. The amine oxide allows for excellent adhesion to the surface providing an extended dwell time as required.
