EC name

Syntapon O is an anionic surfactant with low foamability, excellent wetting properties and outstanding stability in high electrolyte systems.

Syntapon O is a superior hydrotropic and wetting agent suitable for use in the production of fluorine-based fire-fighting foams, textile processing additives, as a viscosity reducer of concentrated industrial and all-purpose cleaners or as a wetting agent in oil fields. It is favourable mostly due to its solubility, stability and interfacial activity in concentrated solutions of salts and alkalis.
