EMPIGEN® OB / MB

Innospec Performance Chemicals Home Care and I&I

EMPIGEN® OB / MB is an aqueous solution of lauramine oxide. The fatty alcohol from which the lauryl dimethylamine is derived is sourced according to the Mass Balance rules set by the RSPO*. Amine oxides are extremely versatile co-surfactants. In detergents they help to create and stabilise copious foam, as well as improving emulsification and soil removal and the incorporation of an amine oxide into a shampoo can improve the conditioning characteristics. They are resistant to oxidation and are commonly used as solubilising agents and viscosity modifiers in household bleaches with both hypochlorite and peroxide. Their properties can be modified by adjusting the pH of the formulation.

Aquanate COT 20

Aquanate COT 20 is a 20% active anionic surfactant that provides exceptional foam and viscosity building. It is supplied in a diluted liquid form designed specifically for the ease of handling. Aquanate COT 20 can be used as the primary surfactant at use levels up to 40% w/w where it provides extraordinary foam in a variety of detergency applications. It is compatible with non-ionic, anionic and amphoteric surfactants. Aquanate COT 20 is stable at broad pH conditions (3.0 – 11.0), making it appropriate for various home care applications.

Aquanate COT 30

Aquanate COT 30 is a 30% active anionic surfactant that provides exceptional foam and viscosity building. It is sulfate free and can be used as a primary surfactant at use levels up to 30% where it provides extraordinary foam in a variety of detergency applications. It is compatible with non-ionic, anionic and amphoteric surfactants. Aquanate COT 30 is stable at broad pH conditions (3.0 – 11.0), making it appropriate for various home care applications.

Aquanate COT 75

Aquanate COT 75 is a 75% active anionic surfactant powder form of Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate. This sulfate free surfactant provides exceptional foam and viscosity building. It can be used as a primary surfactant at use levels up to 30% active where it provides extraordinary foam in a variety of detergency applications. It is compatible with non-ionic, anionic and amphoteric surfactants. Aquanate COT 75 is stable at broad pH conditions (3.0 – 11.0), making it appropriate for various home care applications.

Aquanate FK

Aquanate FK is an extremely mild surfactant that can be used in formulations as a primary or secondary surfactant. Aquanate FK is ideally used where a dense, stable foam is desired. It provides excellent detergency with outstanding rinseability. Aquanate FK, when used in combination with other co-surfactants, will build highly viscous, salt thickened systems. Its excellent water solubility properties allow the formulator to produce crystal clear cleansing systems for home care applications.
