Four good reasons why biodegradable Ultrawets can solve your surfactant problems.

1. A New Surfactant....Ultrawet AOK.... an alpha-olefin sulfonate flake recommended for light duty household and cosmetic applications. Effective in varying levels of water hardness because of excellent water solubility. Exhibits improved toxicological properties and has good lime soap dispersant qualities.

and 2. Uitrawet K-a sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate flake, for industrial and heavy duty household detergents.

3. Uitrawet KX-a sodium linear alkylate sulfonate flake, for liquid and dry-blend detergent formulations.

4. Uitrawet DS-a unique low molecular weight sodium decyl benzene sulfonate flake, for specialty cleaning and industrial processing. Exhibits good alkali and acid stability for high calcium tolerance areas.

In addition to the above products, ARCO offers a wide variety of spray dried beads, specialty liquids and sulfonic acid.

There's an Uitrawet surfactant to enhance the cleaning power of

detergent compounds or to add wetting, spreading, sudsing, emulsi­fying, penetrating, or dispersing action to almost any compound used in water.

And, because of their high activity, they can be used sparinglywith great

effectiveness. Our Uitrawet Surfac­tants satisfy existing standards for biodegradability.
