Q3

The most versatile surfactant chemistry available


Overview

Q3 is a readily biodegradable surfactant system that provides superior penetration and removal of oily/greasy particulate soils. Formulate a green, GreenSeal, or EcoLogo approved cleaner with Q3. With an outstanding environmental profile, Q3 contains no alkyl phenol ethoxylates. Stable in acids, alkali and hydrogen peroxide.

Cost / Performance

  • Formulate at similar or lower cost than traditional NPE/Glycol Ether systems – without sacrificing performance
  • Self-splitting - oils rapidly break from used solution
  • Stable in Acids, Alkali and Hydrogen Peroxide (H202)
  • Superior penetration and removal of oily/ greasy particulate soils – ability to clean areas where agitation/mechanical action is restricted.
