OVERVIEW

SierraSurf 600 DO is a biodegradable nonionic surfactant produced by reacting oleic acid with polyethylene glycol (PEG). With its safer profile for both the environment and human contact, it stands out from many traditional nonionic surfactants. It contains a high renewable content and offers performance benefits such as low foaming, strong emulsification, high lubricity, and effective surface filming. These attributes, combined with its eco-friendly nature, renewable sourcing, and cost efficiency, make SierraSurf 600 DO a valuable additive across a range of formulations. Its Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB) of approximately 9 makes it especially suited for oil-in-water emulsions and similar systems.
