Lutensol® TO Series (TO 3 / TO 5 / TO 8 / TO 9 / TO 10)

The Lutensol® TO Series is a range of high-performance nonionic alcohol ethoxylate surfactants manufactured by BASF. Produced by the ethoxylation of iso-C13 oxo alcohols, these surfactants provide exceptional wetting, emulsifying, detergency, and dispersing properties across a broad spectrum of industrial applications. The number in each grade (TO 3, TO 5, TO 8, TO 9, and TO 10) indicates the approximate degree of ethoxylation (EO), allowing formulators to select the optimum balance between hydrophilic and lipophilic properties for specific applications.
