Description

Sodium C12-15 Pareth-6 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 effective yet gentle surfactants for personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning applications.

Application

• Personal Care Products: A primary surfactant in mild shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and liquid soaps, where it provides rich lather without stripping skin or hair.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Used in dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface cleaners for its superior degreasing and foaming stability.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Formulated into vehicle wash systems, floor cleaners, and food processing area sanitizers due to its robust performance.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and detergent in scouring and finishing baths.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed as a surfactant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and wetting on plant surfaces.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of acrylic, vinyl acetate, and styrene-butadiene latexes.
