FLUENT-CANE Polyglycols
Overview
FLUENT-CANE† polyglycols are nonionic, high-performance surfactants that are typically used in environments requiring foam control and excellent surfactancy. The surfactant properties of these products result from polymerizing ethylene oxide (EO) and/or propylene oxide (PO), forming internally different structures. Together with the choice of initiator, the ratio of EO and PO/BO control their physical and chemical properties.
