NQ3

Naturally derived, exceptionally versatile surfactant system


Overview

NQ3 is a “naturally derived” version of Q3 which has identical physical and performance characteristics of Q3 with a bio-based content of 43%. It is a highly efficient surfactant with remarkable wetting and detergency properties which allow for VOC exempt degreaser formulations, without sacrificing performance. It is highly effective under dilution and stable in acids, alkali and peroxides. In addition, the environmental profile is exceptional and the chemistry is listed on the Cleangredients list.

Cost / Performance

  • Easier oil separation in grease traps
  • Formulate at similar or lower cost than traditional NPE/Glycol Ether systems
  • Low odor - suitable for high temperature applications
  • Low streak/smear profile and excellent rinsing properties
  • Only surfactant normally required
  • Stable in Acids, Alkali and Hydrogen Peroxide (H202)
  • Superior penetration and removal of Oily/Greasy particulate soils
