Other industries

  The application areas of APG in metal cleaning agents also include: traditional cleaning agents in the electronics industry, kitchen equipment heavy dirt, cleaning and disinfection of medical equipment, cleaning of textile spindles and spinnerets in the textile printing and dyeing industry, and high cleanliness of precision parts in the instrumentation industry cleaning before assembly, etc.

  Cleaning agent for the electronics industry. Researchers based on the existing technology to improve an electronic industry water-based cleaning agent, with surfactant APG, SDBS compound, and sodium metasilicate, corrosion inhibitor, defoaming agent and so on. It has high cleaning efficiency for circuit boards and screens, and does not corrode the objects to be cleaned. It is based on APG and other surfactants such as LAS to develop similar formulas, which are used for cleaning electronic equipment and furnaces, and have a good cleaning performance.

 Household industry, air conditioning cleaning. Researchers have developed an air conditioner cleaning agent, compounded by APG and FMEE, supplemented by inorganic bases, mold inhibitors, etc. The cleaning efficiency is more than 99%, and it is compatible with cleaning oil, dust and other air-conditioning shells, fins and air pump radiators of various trains. Safe to use and non-corrosive. And a water-based antiseptic air-conditioning disinfectant cleaning agent has been developed. It is composed of APG, branched isomerized tridecyl fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, and with corrosion inhibitor and mildew inhibitor. It can be used for air conditioning antiseptic and disinfection, with low cost, eco-friendly. After cleaning the air conditioner, it is not easy to be moldy, and the indicators of bacteria and fungi can be controlled in range of requirement.

Cleaning of heavy kitchen oil such as cooker hood. It is reported that the compounding of APG with surfactants such as AES, NPE or 6501, together with the use of some additives, has achieved good results. Research shows that the cleaning ability does not decrease when use APG replaces AES, and when APG partly replaces OP or CAB, the detergency does not decrease and has a certain increase. Researchers use biodegradable industrial surfactants to prepare better cleaning formulas at room temperature through orthogonal experiments: dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt 4.4%, AES 4.4%, APG 6.4% and CAB 7.5%. Its performance of detergency is up to 98.2%. Researchers have shown through experiments that with the increase of APG content, the decontamination power of the cleaning agent is significantly improved. The cleaning effect is best when the APG content is 8%, and the decontamination power is 98.7%; there no significant affect if increase concentration of APG further more.The order of various factors affecting of the decontamination power is: APG>AEO-9>TX-10>6501, and the best formula composition is APG 8%, TX-10 3.5%, AEO3.5% and 6501 2% , The corresponding detergency capability can reach 99.3%. Its pH value is 7.5, detergency capability is as high as 99.3%, it is competitive in market.
