PLURONIC PE 6800 is a low-foaming, nonionic surfactant composed of a block copolymer with a central polypropylene glycol group flanked by two polyethylene glycol groups. It is supplied as a fine, white powder in the form of very fine beads. PLURONIC PE 6800 is effective in dispersing suspended calcium and magnesium salts, removing and dispersing soil in acid pickling baths, and can be used for electrolytic metal cleaning due to its nonionic nature. It is also suitable for emulsifying monomers.
