ALKATERGE®-E Nonvolatile Surface Active Agent is highly soluble in most organic liquids, but is only very slightly soluble in water. Even so, a concentration of 0.001% by weight of ALKATERGE®-E in water will reduce its surface tension to about 40 dynes per centimeter. Although it does not lower the surface tension of mineral oil, the presence of 0.1% in a mineral oil reduces its interfacial tension against water.
ALKATERGE®-E will react with mineral acids to form salts, some of which are water soluble and produce stable foams. These salts of mineral acids or the salts of lower monobasic organic acids, are very effective wetting agents. Such salts in aqueous systems gradually hydrolyze the oxazoline ring to the amide structure. It forms oil-soluble soaps with the higher fatty acids. The wetting power of these salts and soaps is frequently increased by the addition of alcohols or glycols. Solutions of the salts of ALKATERGE®-E may be used as penetrants in the paper and textile industries, and in the formulation of metal cleaners.

Lists combine the ease of Bookmarks with the versatility of Tags. Instead of one collection of bookmarked items, create as many collections, called "Lists," as you need.
Find the link to your List page in the user menu.
All Tags have been converted to separate Lists, and your bookmarked items have been saved to a "Bookmarks" List.
When you click the Add to List button, a dropdown of your existing Lists appears. Click the List name to which you want to add this product or formula.
You can also create a new List. Simply click "Create a New List" and enter a name.
When you define a new List, the current item is automatically added to it. You can add a product or formula to as many Lists as you need.
Easily see which Lists this item appears in, and quickly go to that List from the links that appear on the page.
