Description

Sodium Laureth-6 Carboxylate is a high-performance, mild anionic surfactant derived from ethoxylated lauryl alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, cleansing, and emulsifying properties, even in hard water and across a wide pH range. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective yet gentle surface-active agents. Its superior compatibility with other surfactants and skin-friendly profile make it a versatile choice for modern formulations.

Application

• Personal Care Cleansers: A primary surfactant in mild facial cleansers, shower gels, shampoos, and liquid soaps, offering rich lather and a soft after-feel.
• Cosmetic Emulsions: Used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and makeup removers for its mildness and compatibility.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: An effective component in dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface cleaners due to its grease-cutting and foaming power.
• Industrial & Mechanical Cleaners: Employed in formulations for vehicle wash, metal cleaning, and degreasing applications where high detergency is required.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, scouring agent, and emulsifier in various textile auxiliaries and leather processing chemicals.
