Technical Details & Test Data

Cloud Point Data

DeTERIC ODP - LF was tested for its ability to hydrotrope NPE-9 into a variety of alkaline electrolytes. The test consisted of adding 1.5% by weight of a hydrotrope to the electrolyte, followed by 1.0% by weight NPE-9. The solution was then heated until reaching the cloud point, the temperature at which the NPE-9 clouds out of solution.
