[Uniquema division of ICI] A registered trademark for a series of nonionic detergent containing an alcohol ethoxylate. This series includes Synperonic® A, 10, 13, and 91. Synperonic® A7 has been listed as the replacement for the previously used Synperonic® N. These ethoxylates are used as wetting agents, surfactants, and dispersants. Initial testing has shown that Synperonic® A7 and Synperonic® 91/10 both foam more and are more acidic than Synperonic® N (Daniels 1999).
