| Application: | Tergitol™ 15-S-7 has been used: • To study the synergistic effect of Tergitol 15-S-7 and AOT (dioctyl sulfosuccinate) on bacterial oxidation of alkanes in crude oils • In cloud-point extraction technique to extract polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from aqueous solutions • Along with MgSO4 in anolyte reservoir for electrokinetic experiments • As a very efficient surfactant in removing non-polar oil • To study the phase behavior of surfactant-brine–oil system, which is desired for enhanced oil recovery |
| Features and Benefits: | • Excellent formulation & handling properties • Superior wetting & rinseability • Low odor • Narrow gel range |
| General description: | We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. This product is a biodegradable surfactant and is aligned with the 10th principle of Green Chemistry "Design for Degradation". Tergitol 15-S-7 is a linear non-ionic surfactant that is a secondary ethoxylated alcohol. It is compatible with anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants. |
