ETINGAL L is a polyether derivative of a fatty acid that is used as a defoamer in industrial applications. As a defoamer, ETINGAL L helps control foam in industrial processes. It has a tendency to form a sediment, so it must be heated to homogenize before use. ETINGAL L has a shelf life of at least 2 years when stored properly and has a density of approximately 0.99 g/cm3. It is soluble in distilled water, potable water, alcohols, petroleum oils, aromatic hydrocarbons, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. ETINGAL L is an effective defoamer for industrial solutions that require foam control without negatively impacting other process parameters.
