215 UP 425 N/HH 600 CS UP 650 EC

The emulsifying capacity of Glucopon enables cleaning

products to remove soils from hard surfaces, keep them in
solution and prevent the resoiling of the cleaned areas

Emulsifying Capacity

Testing of emulsification properties by observation of the

behaviour of different types of oil/grease and a surfactant
solution.

Test Method
50 ml of oil/grease and 50 ml of surfactant solution
(2% AM in water) is mixed 1200 +/-3 rpm for 2 minutes.
After 1 and 4 hours observation of the level of remaining
test solution.

Principle
The lower the
remaining level,
the better the
emulsification
properties of the
test solution.
 Glucopon: Streak-free Cleaning
Anti-streaking properties of Glucopon
Home Care

Fatty alcohol ethoxylate Glucopon 215 UP

The anti-streaking properties of Glucopon are proven by wiping

the surface after application of the test solution. No streaks on
the treated surface are observed and the surface is shiny.

Glucopon: Safe for Surfaces

Plastics compatibility test
Evaluation of plastics compatibility according to the Hansgrohe
method.
