Griton TE43

Background

Griton TE43 is a phosphate ester manufactured using polyphosphoric acid resulting in a product that gives predominately mon-esters. The main advantage of a phosphate ester over a conventional anionic is its excellent stability in high concentrations of acid, alkali and electrolyte. This product is supplied in acid from and can be neutralised with a number of differing bases to produce a salt.

Griton TE43 offers good wetting, detergency, lubricity and emulsification properties.
