DESCRIPTION
Colonial SOS is a highly biodegradable wetting agent that is stable under varying
conditions of pH and temperature. The rapid wetting and low foam characteristics of
Colonial SOS recommend it for applications such as:
STRUCTURE
C8H17OSO3Na
TYPICAL PROPERTIES
In the mercerizing of grey cotton goods, Colonial SOS wets efficiently and remains
stable in the 20-25& caustic solutions generally used for this purpose. At levels of 1%
surfactant, Colonial SOS demonstrates wetting times of 6.8 seconds in 20% NaOH and
8.2 seconds in 25% NaOH. These figures represent the sinking time for a standard
bundle of cotton in a caustic solution of mercerizing strength.
Used as a rinse aid, Colonial SOS helps dishes and glassware to drain completely,
reducing spots and streaks. The low foaming characteristics of Colonial SOS permit its
use in automatic dishwashers or other mechanical cleaning devices where rapid
agitation occurs.
TYPICAL FORMULATIONS
The following formulations illustrate the use of Colonial SOS in the preparation of a
variety of cleaners.
