Enafoam WB 5

Identification

Chemical description

Blend of alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates and additives improving the shape and stability of air bubbles

Enafoam WB 5 serves as a foaming component in the production of ultra-light construction materials, especially gypsum boards and other gypsum and cement products.

Enafoam WB 5 is stable in moderately acidic and alkaline environments. It shows high foamability and very good wetting ability. In the presence of ground gypsum it creates stable foam.
