PPG-2 Hydroxyethyl Coco/Isostearamide is an active liquid surfactant that replaces DEA-alkanolamides. It provides excellent foam stabilization and fragrance solubilization in formulations.
Compared with traditional DEA-based alkanolamides, PPG-2 Hydroxyethyl Coco/Isostearamide delivers excellent salt response viscosity in DEA-free formulated products. It enables DEA-free formulations without sacrificing liquidity, viscosity building, shear thinning, foam stabilization, solubilization, and conditioning properties.
PPG-2 Hydroxyethyl Coco/Isostearamide allows the formulator to develop excellent cleansing products that respond to “DEA-free” market requirements. It helps control viscosity, stabilizes foram, and solubilizes fragrances.
In addition, PPG-2 Hydroxyethyl Coco/Isostearamide is an effective emulsifier with a suitable wetting/detergency and conditioning effect on hair and skin. Its low irritation profile and easy formulation are used in many liquid soaps, hand washes, shampoos, body cleansers, bubble baths, hair colorants, and permanent waving applications.See also
