Due to their excellent surface-active properties, Genapol ® X grades
have numerous uses. With superb wetting capabilities, especially in
the low-temperature range, and marked degreasing and emulsifying
properties, they are suitable raw materials and mixture components
for the manufacture of universal cleaners in every form, wax and
silicone emulsions. Genapol ® X 060 offers very strong degreasing
action, while Genapol ® Isotridecyl ethoxylates
X 080 is mainly used to remove pigmented

OX types are used in washing powders (HDP), liquid detergents
(HDL), all purpose cleaners (APC), and other liquid cleaners,
wetting agents, emulsifiers and industrial cleaners.

contamination. Genapol ® X 080 also offers excellent wetting properties.
Genapol ® X 1003 is used in emulsion polymerization to reduce
coagulation and to improve electrolyte resistance and freeze/ thaw
stability or as emulsifier for bitumen emulsions. Added to pigment
preparations, Genapol ® X 1005 improves the stability and reduces the
viscosity and thixotropic behaviour of pigment preparations.
