To learn about the industry solutions Kao Chemicals Europe offers, read our publications, reference material and news. Here you will find our sustainable growth contributions to industry and society.
Kao Chemicals is a major global supplier of alkyl ethercarboxylic acids (AKYPO®). The usage of these derivatives spans from home care and technical applications to the cleaning industry.
In the following article alkyl ethercarboxylic acids are described. These type of anionic surfactants show versatile physico-chemical properties especially for cleaning applications. AKYPO®s are multifunctional molecules with good solubilizing properties, so the formulator could work with a clear formulation at higher temperatures. Additionally, they enhance the physico-chemical properties of the formulation, like anti corrosion properties, enhanced electrolyte stability and lime soap dispersing power. Beside these improvements, AKYPO®s are enhancing the cleaning efficiency of the formulation especially against soils containing solid particles.
Have a look to our latest publication in TLT Magazine to find out more about our solutions for the Metalworking industry.
This article will guide you through the KAO Metalworking Toolbox and the benefits of using KAO additives for light metal (nonferrous) and multi-metal formulations, with a special focus on how AKYPO (ether carboxylic acid) and FOSFODET (low-foam ing phosphate ester) support corrosion and stain - ing inhibition. All these findings share the goal of achieving low-foaming, environmentally friendly and sustainable formulations...
Great article of our colleagues Marta Pájaro and Alberto Stampa published in SOFW Journal issue 10/22.
