Mitfloc 5452 is a water-based surfactant blend supplied as a readily pourable or pumpable liquid. It is used as a “cooking aid” or emulsion breaker for separating water-in-oil emulsions found in the automotive and refining industries. Mitfloc 5452 acts to remove the surface impurities that stabilize the droplets of oil and water in an emulsion by preventing their coalescence.
