Rubeoling/O-8 is a milky white to light yellow paste at room temperature (solidification point about 10~15°C). Direct addition may result in uneven dispersion. It is recommended to pretreat using one of the following methods:
Rubeoling/O-8 exhibits "dispersion in water" behavior when dissolved, meaning that nonionic surfactants form a milky white dispersion in water rather than a clear transparent solution. This is normal. It maintains good chemical stability in hard water, acidic/alkaline media, and high-concentration electrolyte salt solutions, without forming calcium soap precipitates.
This product shows excellent compatibility with anionic surfactants (such as LAS, AES, SDS), cationic surfactants, and amphoteric surfactants, and can be widely used in compound formulations to synergistically enhance emulsification, detergency, and wetting effects.
| Application Area | Recommended Dosage (Based on Total Formulation Weight) | Usage Key Points |
|---|---|---|
| Textile Scouring Agent | 3%~10% | Compound with anionic scouring agents and chelating dispersants. Maintains stable penetration and emulsification ability even during high-temperature treatment above 95°C. |
| Soaping/Cleaning Agent after Dyeing | 2%~5% | Can be used in soaping baths at 40~80°C, effectively suspending and dispersing unfixed dyes to prevent redeposition. |
| Industrial Hard Surface Cleaner | 3%~8% | Compound with auxiliary agents (sodium carbonate, sodium metasilicate, EDTA, etc.), providing strong penetration and detachment effects for mineral oils, animal and vegetable oils. |
| Household Liquid Detergent | 1%~5% | Compound with other nonionic/anionic surfactants to provide excellent grease removal and easy rinsing properties. |
| Pesticide EC/EW | 5%~15% (in EC) 2%~8% (in EW) |
Usually used together with anionic emulsifiers (such as calcium salts) in a certain ratio. First dissolve the emulsifier in the mixed oil phase containing the active ingredient and solvent, then emulsify with the water phase. |
| Emulsion Polymerization (Acrylic/Styrene-Acrylic Systems) | 1%~3% (Based on total monomer weight) | Add during the pre-emulsification stage. Dissolve the emulsifier in water, stir thoroughly, then slowly add monomers for pre-emulsification, effectively controlling latex particle size. |
| Leather Soaking/Degreasing | 0.5%~2% (Based on leather weight) | Add directly to the drum soaking bath. Better results when used with soda ash, accelerating the softening of dry leather and emulsification removal of natural fats. |
| Metalworking Fluids/Degreasers | 3%~10% | Used as a primary emulsifier compounded with rust inhibitors and extreme pressure additives to emulsify base oils and stabilize the working fluid. |
| Paper Deinking Agent | 0.1%~0.5% (Based on oven-dried pulp weight) | Add during pulping or flotation stage, used with chemicals like sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate to promote ink detachment and emulsification dispersion in the pulp. |
For more precise formulation recommendations or to obtain the Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), please contact the Technical Department of Guoli Chemical. The above usage suggestions are based on typical product parameters (HLB value 11-12, cloud point 50~70°C, CMC value 0.02~0.05 g/L, surface tension approx. 28~32 mN/m). The specific dosage should be determined through experimental optimization.
