Improved Oil Removal with Reduced Foaming

Dow has introduced a low-foam surfactant product family to enable improved performance in metal cleaning applications. ECOSURF™ LFE-635 offers efficient oil removal from metal surfaces and low foam generation under circulating use conditions. ECOSURF™ LFE Series Surfactants are readily biodegradable, low foam surfactants with very low aquatic toxicity, which meet or exceed existing environmental regulations. These surfactants meet the criteria for the U.S. EPA’s Safer Choice program.
