Description

Potassium Laureth Phosphate is an anionic surfactant derived from lauryl alcohol ethoxylate. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, particularly in systems requiring mildness and stability. It is primarily utilized by formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, phosphate-based surfactants.

Application

• Personal Care Cleansers: A key ingredient in mild facial cleansers, shower gels, and shampoos, providing rich lather and a gentle feel on skin and hair.
• Cosmetic Emulsions: Acts as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in lotions, creams, and other oil-in-water formulations.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Used in liquid dish soaps, hard surface cleaners, and industrial degreasers for its superior grease-cutting and wetting power.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and antistatic agent in various processing baths and finishing applications.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Metal Working Fluids: Serves as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants.
