IIYI IWI^I SPLIT TABU SURFACTANTS

When does a surfactant become a non-surfactant? W h e n yOU t u r n i t Off. New TRITON SP splittable surfactants are the first surfactants engineered to split into hydrophilic and hydrophobic components for enhanced and simplified waste water treatment. And you decide when this takes place. TRITON SP surfactants are unique, patented* molecules that offer excellent detergency, wetting and surface tension reduction. So the surfactants deliver all the cleaning and emulsifying strength you have come to expect from Union Carbide's family of superior surfactants. But when their job is done you simply lower the pH and the molecule splits. Fats, oils and greases demulsify and separate in as little as 30 minutes. Separated FOG can be removed by conventional skimmers for recycling. TRITON SP series surfactants become non-surfactants when you decide their job is done - in industrial laundry detergents, metal working fluids, pulp & paper processing formulations, textile processing chemicals and other applications. High quality surfactants that turn into non-surfactants when you want them to. But first you have to decide to try them in your application.
