Nekanil FE-106, Protectol KLC types and inhibitoe are used fur derusting
baths (degreasing and pickling baths prepared with hydrochloric acid, sulphuric
acid, phosphoric aoU or amidosulphonic acid) and for descaling.

Acid cleaners

Household detergents

Besides the builder substances, sucfr as pentasodiurn triphosphate, silicate

and perborate, and the anionic surfactants (alkyl benzene sulphonates, such as
Lutensit A-LB types), tfe nonionic surfactant Nekanil FE-106 is ofien used for
these detergents-

Household cleaners

These cleaning agents ara usually neutral- but they may also be slightly acid or
alkaline. They are tormulated with Nekanil FE-106, often in combinagon with
otler nonionic and anionic surfactants, and with complering agents and

'dispersantsNekanil FE-1OG i,as a good emulsifying effect The HLB value d the product
(hydrophillc-lipophilic balance) wfrich depends on the dergree of ethorylation, is
a numerical indicau'on of its mode of action and is a useful guide for practical

Emulsifying agents

PurPoses-

The dispersing effecq which is always one of the secondary functions in

Dispersing egntlt

cleaner and emulsion systems, may well be the most important properly wfren
sparingly soluble solids ar to be dispersed in aqueous, equeouHrganic or
polarorganic media- Nekanil FE-r06 is very efiective in dispersing wlids
{onned by chemical reactjon, precipitation or coagulation. They are also used,
alone or In cornbination with protective colloids, as disintegrating ar.criliaries in
grinding processes amed out in these media. __

Wetting agents

The e>ccellent weting etrect of Nekanil FE-106 can be utilized in a wide variety
of surhce treatment material processing and finishing processes. This also
applied in general to chemical and physical processes involving convers,ion,
mixing and separaiing in aqueous media, and for irnpregnation and rintting
operations in virtually all branches of industry.
