Aquastound™ LAS 90 is a linear alkyl benzene sulfonate white free flowing powder, which is more than 90% active, which is biodegradable and environmentally friendly with no solvents, no VOC's or hazardous air pollutants and dioxane free. It is an excellent detergent in both acid and alkali solution for removing grease from metal substrates, in which it has found favour in the metal cleaning industry. Aquastound™ LAS 90 has noted characteristics; superior detergency, rapid wetting agent, high foaming, excellent emulsification, great dispersion and decontamination properties. It has excellent rinsing characteristics, removing all oily films and inorganic salts on treated surfaces.
It is used in laundry and dishwashing applications in the HI&IC, in industrial cleaners to remove soil and films that harbor surface bacteria and fungus. It is heavily used in the dairy industry for cleaning applications since it does not promote calcium deposits. In the surface finishing industry this surfactant promotes powerful grease cutting and rapid removal of oil for metal cleaning in both acid and alkali based formulations.
What differentiates the Canadian LAS surfactant, Aquastound™ LAS 90 from Pilot's reknown brand since the 1980s known as Calsoft F-90 ,which has dominated the marketplace in North America? Calsoft F-90 is essentially a "ready-engineered" LAS 90% with handling aids. This product has been promoted as professional-grade metal cleaning where consistency, handling, and performance matters demanding a high premium selling price for supply chain reliability. You can buy LAS 90% at less and have the same functional performance as a cleaner in a myriad of vertical markets. The major component in Calsoft F-90 is the surfactant itself (LAS 90%) with a minor additive package designed to improve handling by adding surface-active disperant to prevent the flakes from sticking together with a diluent and flow aid to keep the flakes flowing and moisture added to reduce potential airborne dust for product safety and handling. Aquastound™ LAS 90 has the quality asurance built in for flowability, handling, and safety of dust control with the distinct advantage of lower pricing in a competitive market. Buy Canadian at better price and perfomance that is second to none. Why buy American products such as Calsoft F-90 or Nacconol 90G, when you can buy local?
