TOMADOL® 25-12 is a nonionic surfactant for laundry detergent formulations. TOMADOL 25-12 has the highest water solubility and the highest cloud point for product clarity at higher temperatures. The emulsification provided helps prevent soil redeposition in laundry applications.
Evonik produces a wide variety of nonionic surfactants. The TOMADOL ethoxylates include both synthetic and plant-derived alcohols and vary in both hydrophobe and ethylene oxide chain lengths, to yield a wide range of physical and surfactant properties. They are excellent wetting agents, emulsifiers, and detergents and are moderate foamers.

Gel Curve
When making concentrates in water, use the gel curve as a guide. Other additives such as solvents, salts, and surfactants will affect the gel curve.
Performance Data of TOMADOL 25-12
The viscosity of a neat nonionic surfactant is an indication of its ease of pumping. In general, the lower the viscosity at a given temperature, the easier the material is to pump. This, however, depends on the individual user’s equipment. Many nonionic surfactants require heating to lower the viscosity to a level that is readily pumpable under practical conditions.
The figure below shows the decrease in viscosity with increasing temperature for TOMADOL 25-12.
