Lansurf CAO is a nonionic surfactant that is compatible with all classes of surfactants. It is stable in both acid and hydrochlorite solutions and contains no electrolyte by-products. Lansurf CAO provides excellent foam boosting and foam stability properties and can also be used as a viscosity builder. This product is also found to be readily biodegradable and would not expect to persist indefinitely in the environment. Lansurf CAO is used in many applications where high foaming and excellent detergency are desired.
