ETHOXCARE® LA-4
ETHOXCARE® LA-4 is a surfactant that is 100% active nonionic which is the polyethylene glycol ether of lauryl alcohol with an average of 4 repeating units of ethylene glycol. It can be used in combination or combined with other surfactants to achieve any required HLB. Since it is completely saturated, it is very stable over a wide pH range. It is useful as an emulsifier for making oil-in-water emulsions but specific members of this series also have additional benefits. ETHOXCARE® LA-4 is useful as a wetting agent. ETHOXCARE® LA surfactants conform to a specification of 1ppm max for residual ethylene oxide and 10ppm max for 1,4-dioxane and are suitable for use in a wide range of personal care products and cosmetics.
