SierraSoap KO is an anionic soap used as an emulsifying agent and as a lubricant. SierraSoap KO is widely used to emulsify insecticides and herbicides as an earth friendly replacement for synthetic chemistries. SierraSoap KO is used in textiles as a soap to remove excess dye. SierraSoap KO can also be used as an emulsifier in conjunction with wetting agents to prepare fabric for dyeing by removing oils, waxes, and finish. In leather treatment, SierraSoap KO is used to emulsify oils and to condition leather. SierraSoap KO is used as leather cleaners and conditioners to clean and condition leathers simultaneously. SierraSoap KO is used as a lubricant, mold release, and drawing compound. In formulation of lubricants and process chemicals, SierraSoap KO can be used to emulsify oils and eliminating the need for synthetic emulsifiers.

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 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 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 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.
