T-Det® EPO 81 is an anhydrous, liquid nonionic surface-active agent produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. It is used in petroleum paper manufacture, water treatment, foam control, and agricultural chemicals. Due to its nonionic structure, T-Det® EPO 81 is compatible with anionic and cationic surfactants and is stable in the presence of acids, bases, and salts.

Recommended Uses & Known Applications
  • Petroleum - Useful component of crude oil demulsifiers which are necessary to separate water from crude oil before the oil is sent to the refinery for processing.
  • Paper Manufacture - Eliminates foam in starch solutions added to the pulp. Also, in sulfite pulp bleaching, T-Det EPO-81, added to the unbleached pulp as it goes for chlorination, raises brightness levels and reduces pitch problems.
  • Water Treatment - Wetting ability and low foaming characteristics are useful in water treating compounds.
  • Foam Control - Used in a variety of industries to reduce or eliminate foam. It can be used by itself or can be incorporated in compounded formulations.
  • Agricultural Chemicals - Can be used as an emulsifier and wetting agent in preparation of agricultural toxicant formulations.
