INCI/CFTA: Potassium Alkanote

CLEARANCES: TSCA, NDSL, ENCS, EINECS, and ECL

DESCRIPTION
Cola®Trope SC-45 is a high foaming, chlorine stable, caustic soluble surfactant and
hydrotrope. Cola®Trope SC-45 is an aqueous solution of an anionic surfactant
containing both sulfonate and carboxylate functionality. It is stable to hypochlorites, and
soluble in caustic and electrolytic solutions. It also wets rapidly, and has excellent
detergent properties. Cola®Trope SC-45 is used in applications in alkaline spray foam
cleaners containing chlorine, and in other formulations where high foam and excellent
detergency are required.
