NQ3

Overview

NQ3 is a “naturally derived” version of Q3 which has identical physical and performance characteristics of Q3 with a bio-based content of 43%. It is a highly efficient surfactant with remarkable wetting and detergency properties which allow for VOC exempt degreaser formulations, without sacrificing performance. It is highly effective under dilution and stable in acids, alkali and peroxides. In addition, the environmental profile is exceptional and the chemistry is listed on the Cleangredients list.
