PROPERTIES
Galaxy LES 170 is an anionic surfactant. It is water-soluble. It has excellent foaming power and detergency properties. It is also a very good emulsifier. It can be used with other anionic, non-ionic or amphoteric surfactants. However, due to its anionic character, it should not be used with cationic components like cationic surfactants, cationic dyes etc.
APPLICATIONS
Galaxy LES 170 is used for a wide range of applications such as:
In shampoos, foam baths and shower gels as a basic surfactant and foaming agent In liquid detergents and dish washing formulations for detergency and foaming In bathing bars (syndet and combi-bars), body wash, liquid soap, etc
PACKING
Galaxy LES 170 is available in 220 kg HM-HDPE drums. Total of 80 drums i.e. 17.6 MT can be shipped in either palletized or non-palletized 20 ft. full container load. It can be also supplied in IBCs with 1 MT capacity or locally in SS tankers with capacities from 10 to 25 MT and ISO containers with capacity of 22 to 24 MTs.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in a clean, dry area, away from sunlight and heat. The recommended storage temperature is 200 – 400C. Keep drums tightly closed. In the original sealed drums and kept at suggested storage conditions, the product can be stored for at least 1 year. Spills may be cleaned by flushing with sufficient amount of water. Avoid ingestion and direct inhalation (where air concentration is high, appropriate mask is suggested) and also avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. In case of contact with eyes and skin, seek adequate and timely medical attention. Stacking should be maximum 1+1 drums.
