Low-foam surfactants play a critical role in warewash and other high-agitation cleaning applications, where excessive foam can compromise cleaning efficiency, rinsing performance and equipment operation. Yet formulators are often forced to make trade-offs among foam control, wetting, detergency, solubility and concentrated product design.
Join Stepan Company for an in-depth look at the evolving low-foam surfactant landscape and discover a novel technology designed to help address these formulation challenges.
In this webinar, you'll learn:
- Key performance requirements for low-foam surfactants in warewash and other high-agitation cleaning systems
- Common formulation challenges and the trade-offs formulators face when balancing foam, wetting and detergency
- The science behind Stepan's novel low-foam surfactant technology and the mechanism driving its unique performance
- How this technology may help overcome limitations traditionally associated with low-foam systems
- Performance results from a highly concentrated warewash formulation, including foam control, wetting performance, formulation compatibility and more
Whether you're developing warewash detergents, rinse aids or other high-agitation cleaning products, this session will provide practical guidance for evaluating and formulating with low-foam surfactants with greater confidence.
