Commonly Used Surfactants

Disodium Monolauryl Sulfosuccinate

Disodium Monolauryl Sulfosuccinate is white paste at room temperature and transparent liquid after heating (> 70°C). Its foam is rich and easy to wash. It has strong detergency and low degreasing power, so it is a common mild surfactant. It is also compatible with other surfactants and can be used in the production of mild, high-viscosity foam cleansers, foam shaving creams, and foam shower gels.

Disodium?Laureth(3)?Sulfosuccinate

Disodium?Laureth(3) Sulfosuccinate has excellent washing, emulsifying, dispersing, wetting, solubilizing properties. This surfactant has low irritation, and can significantly reduce the irritation of other surfactants, and has excellent hard water resistance. It can be used with a variety of surfactants and plant extracts to produce natural products. Disodium Laureth (3) Sulfosuccinate can be used in the manufacture of shampoos, foam shower gels, hand soaps, surgical cleaning supplies and daily cleaning products, etc. It can also be used as emulsifier, dispersant, wetting agent, foaming agent, etc.

Disodium Cocoyl Monoethanolamide Sulfosuccinate

It has excellent washing, emulsifying, dispersing, wetting and solubilizing properties. And it has low irritation and can significantly reduce the irritation of other surfactants. Its foam is rich and stable, and its foam stability is better than that of alcohol ether sulfosuccinic acid monoester disodium. It has low degreasing power, is easy to wash, and has excellent hard water resistance. It can be used in the manufacture of shampoos, shower gels, hand soaps, surgical cleaning supplies and other daily cleaning products, etc. It can also be used as emulsifier, dispersant, wetting agent, foaming agent, etc.

Lauryl alcohol phosphate acid ester

This surfactant is similar to natural phospholipids, which is non-toxic and non-irritating. It has good affinity with the skin, and has excellent emulsifying and solubilizing properties. It has excellent emulsifying ability to animal and vegetable fats, fatty acid esters, silicone oil, and mineral oil. It has good surface activity at low concentrations, and exhibits excellent wetting and washing properties and synergistic effects. It has antistatic, anticorrosive and high temperature resistance properties, but it is not resistant to hard water. This surfactant is widely used in personal cleaning products, such as foam cleansers, shower gels and the like.

Lauryl alcohol phosphoric acid?ester potassium

This type of surfactant is similar to natural phosphorus esters, with low irritation and excellent emulsifying, solubilizing and dispersing properties. It has a low surface tension, rich foam, and excellent salt and alkali resistance. It is compatible with non-ionic, anionic, amphoteric surfactants and cationic surfactants of polyquaternium. Lauryl alcohol phosphoric acid ester potassium is not resistant to hard water, so hard water-resistant surfactants such as sulfobetaine should be added when using this type of surfactant. It is mainly used as an additive for cleaning products to enhance the compounding effect. For example, it can be used as a foaming agent, anti-slip agent, antistatic conditioner in mild facial cleansers, shower gels, baby care products.

Polyoxyethylene Laurylether Phosphate

Polyoxyethylene Laurylether Phosphate is an anionic surfactant and has excellent emulsifying, dispersing, cleaning, wetting, antistatic and antirust properties, as well as strong degreasing power. It has good stability, acid resistance, alkali resistance, high temperature resistance, hard water resistance, and inorganic salt resistance. It is soluble in organic solvents and harmless to the environment. This type of surfactant can be used in personal cleaning products such as shampoos, shower gels, facial cleansers, and can be used in industrial hard surface cleaning detergents such as dry cleaning agent and metal preservatives.

Lauramidopropyl?Betaine

Lauramidopropyl?Betaine has excellent solubility, compatibility, and foamability. It also has good resistance to hard water, antistatic property and biodegradability. It can be widely used in the preparation of intermediate and advanced shampoos, shower gels, hand sanitizers, foam cleansers, and household detergents. It is also a major ingredient in mild baby shampoos, baby foam baths, and baby skincare products. It is an excellent softening conditioner in hair care and skin care formulations.
