SierraQuat 90
SierraQuat 90 is an imidazoline, Diethyl Sulfate Quat that is 90% active. It is a highly reacted material with a very high closure and a minimum of unreacted material. SierraQuat 90 is a formulation additive for tissue manufacturing offering excellent softness, good release to prevent sticking & tearing of tissue, and very low yellowing. It has a long and successful history of use in the paper industry with consistently good performance in a variety of products. Because SierraQuat 90 has a strong cationic charge, it has also been used successfully as a primary emulsifier in car wash rinse aids where mineral oil is delivered to the auto surface to shed water. Likewise, it is used to offer charge to carnauba waxes. SierraQuat 90 can be used as an emulsifier and cationic surfactant in a variety of formulations for cleaners.

SierraMide DEA
SierraMide DEA is a Cocamide/DEA 1:1 that is 100% active. Cocamide DEA is derived from the fatty acids from coconut oil and diethanolamine (DEA). In cosmetics and personal care products, SierraMide DEA is used in the formulation of bath soaps and shampoo. SierraMide DEA exhibits powerful foaming action alone or as a foam booster. SierraMide DEA has a wide range of practical uses because of its wetting, detergency, foaming, and low cost.
SierraMide MEA
SierraMide MEA is a surfactant and foam stabilizer derived from Lauric Acid and Monoethanolamine (MEA). It is widely used in personal care, household, and industrial cleaning products due to its foam-boosting, thickening, and emulsifying properties. Additionally, it is compatible with anionic and amphoteric surfactants, further enhancing formulation flexibility in various cleaning and personal care applications.
SierraMine LO
SierraMine LO is a nonionic to mildly cationic surfactant derived from lauryl dimethylamine and hydrogen peroxide. It is known for its foam-boosting, emulsifying, and viscosity-enhancing properties, making it a key ingredient in personal care, household cleaning, and industrial formulations.
SierraPhos 2-EH
SierraPhos 2-EH acid form is a concentrated surfactant made by the reaction of 2 Ethyl hexanol with P205. The material can be used in its acid form or neutralized to make a variety of functional surfactants. The widest use of this material is as a building block for antistats for textiles and plastics, and as a penetrating surfactant that can be used in several cleaners and functional chemicals. The acid form of SierraPhos 2EH is the most economical and versatile form of this chemistry, other neutralized forms are also available.
