    SURFONIC® L12-6 Surfactant

    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
    SURFONIC® L12-6 surfactant is the six-mole ethoxylate of linear, primary 10-12
    carbon number alcohol. It is a water-soluble, nonionic surface active agent which is
    compatible with other nonionic surfactants and with most anionic and cationic
    surfactants. The product is a clear to slightly turbid liquid.

    APPLICATIONS • Detergents • Personal Care Products


    • Laundry Prespotters • Hard Surface Cleaners
    • Adjuvants for Agricultural Herbicides and Insecticides

    TOXICITY AND SAFETY
    For information on the toxicity and safe handling of this product, please read the Material Safety Data Sheet prior to
    use of the product.

    HANDLING AND STORAGE


    ®
    SURFONIC L12-6 surfactant may be satisfactorily stored in carbon steel tanks using steel pipes and pumps.
    Caution must be exercised, however, to keep the material in the anhydrous state to prevent severe corrosion to the
    carbon steel tank and related equipment. A drier on the breathing nozzle is recommended to help maintain
    anhydrous conditions in the storage tank.

    For longer term color stability, it is recommended that the product be stored under an inert atmosphere. Solid
    sediment may form upon standing. There should be circulation in the storage vessel to keep solids suspended.

    Low pressure steam coils in storage tanks and steam tracing of transfer lines should be provided in cases where low
    environmental temperatures may make pumping of the product difficult.

    SHIPPING DATA
    Product is available in tank cars, tank trucks and drums of 440 pounds (195 kilograms) net weight. Small samples
    are available by contacting our sample department at 1-800-662-0924.

    BIODEGRADABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY


    ®
    Linear alcohol ethoxylates, including the SURFONIC L series surfactants, undergo rapid and extensive
    biodegradation under both laboratory and environmental conditions. Their mineralization to CO2 and water (ultimate
    biodegradation) is essentially complete during biological wastewater treatments at warm to cold water temperatures.
    They are degraded by bacteria in rivers, lakes, groundwater and sediment as well.
    The major mechanism of biodegradation is cleavage of the ethoxylate chain from the alkyl group with oxidation of
    the latter to fatty acid. The fatty acid degrades more rapidly than the ethoxylate chain, which is broken down by
    sequential oxidation and removal of ethoxylate units.
    Alcohol ethoxylates begin to lose their toxicity toward aquatic organisms as soon as biodegradation begins. Water
    containing degraded surfactant has been shown not to adversely affect fish, invertebrates and algae. Thus, while
    alcohol ethoxylates are toxic to aquatic organisms, in the event of a spill into a waterway any acute effects would be
    limited in area and time.
    ®
    SURFONIC L-series surfactants and other linear alcohol ethoxylates pose no serious threat to the environment.
    They do not accumulate in any environmental compartment and are found, if at all, only at concentrations below
    chronic effects levels.
    ®
    Cleaning products containing SURFONIC L-series surfactants may be disposed of safely by flushing down the
    drain with water.
