Description

Sodium Trideceth-12 Carboxylate is a high-performance, mild anionic surfactant derived from ethoxylated fatty alcohols. 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 seeking gentle yet effective surfactants in personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning applications. Its compatibility with other surfactants and ingredients makes it a versatile choice for creating stable and high-quality end products.

Application

• Personal Care Cleansers: A primary surfactant in mild facial cleansers, shower gels, shampoos, and hand soaps, where gentle cleansing is required.
• Baby Care Products: Used in formulations for baby shampoos, washes, and wipes due to its low irritation profile.
• Cosmetic Preparations: Functions as an emulsifier and foaming agent in makeup removers, cleansing milks, and shaving creams.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: An effective component in liquid dish soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and floor cleaners for its degreasing and foaming power.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Employed in formulations for vehicle washes, food processing area cleaners, and other specialty detergents.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and detergent in scouring and finishing processes.
