Description

Arlacel™ 165 is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier widely recognized for its excellent stability and performance in complex formulations. This versatile chemical is critical for creating stable, high-quality emulsions, particularly in demanding pharmaceutical and personal care applications where consistency and safety are paramount. It is an essential component for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable emulsification and solubilization.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Emulsions: Key emulsifier for topical creams, ointments, and lotions, ensuring stable oil-in-water (O/W) systems.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Used in creams, sunscreens, and makeup products to provide smooth texture and long-term stability.
• Personal Care Products: Integral to the formulation of stable body washes, shampoos, and conditioners.
• Industrial Emulsions: Employed in the production of lubricants, textile finishes, and agrochemical formulations.
• Food-Grade Applications: Where specified, can be used as an emulsifier in certain food additive preparations (subject to specific grade and regulatory approval).
