T-Det® A826 is a biodegradable, linear alcohol alkoxylate surfactant that is liquid at room temperature and tends not to form surfactant/water gels. It is useful as an emulsifier, wetting agent, detergent, solubilizing agent and dispersant and is principally used in household detergents and industrial products. Additionally, it is an excellent emulsifier and solubilizer of essential oils and has other applications such as textile processing, metal cleaning, and automotive cleaners.

Storage & Handling

Storage, Stability and Handling Information
  • This product is easily handled under ordinary commercial conditions. It will remain clear if stored at 21°C or above.
  • When stored below this temperature, turbidity may develop but will disappear upon warming to 24°C. The presence of turbidity does not affect the surfactant’s efficacy.
  • Maximum storage temperature is 40°C. Heating equipment will be required if temperatures are expected to fall below 10°C.
