ROKAnol L2 MB is a non-ionic surfactant used as an emulsifier and dispersant in personal hygiene products. Product exhibits properties of viscosity adjusting of formulations. ROKAanol L2 MB can be used in oxidizing, reducing and hard water environments. It is active in an acid and neutral bathes, as well as in diluted alkalies. It is mainly used for the production of ethersulphates. From ROKAnol LK2 (INCI name: Laureth-2), which is mainly used as an intermediate for the synthesis of anionic surfactants from the lauryl ether sulfate group (SLES), ROKAnol L2 MB differs in water content (maximum 0.3%).

ROKAnol L2 MB belongs to the group of products covered by the RSPO certificate in the Mass Balance model (www.rspo.org). This means that the palm oil used to produce the basic raw material included in the ROKAnol L2 MB product comes from crops that do not contribute to the depletion of natural values. At the same time, its production respects the rights of people living in areas where oil palms are grown.

It is a transparent or turbid liquid which over time gets clear at the top and turbid with a sediment at the bottom (50 max. Pt/Co scale) at 40°C. ROKAnol L2 MB is poorly soluble in water, it makes turbid solutions. The commercial product contains over 99.9% of the active substance, and solidifies at a temperature of about 0°C. Compared to the other ROKAnols of L series, it has a low HLB.ROKAnol L2 MB is used as an ingredient in cosmetic formulations, such as shampoos, shower gels, bath lotions, and other washable cosmetics, in which it acts as a cleaning agent and rheology modifier (thickening agent). It also demonstrates the ability to solubilize a wide range of perfumes and active ingredients.ROKAnol L2 MB is used in various types of preparations intended for washing, cleaning, laundry, usually in compositions with other non-ionic, anionic or cationic surfactants. ROKAnol L2 can be used in an oxidizing, reducing and hard water environment. It is active in acid and neutral baths, and diluted alkalis.ROKAnol L2 MB does not exhibit any foaming properties, but it is characterised by very good detergent, emulsifying and dispersing properties. It is a biodegradable product in natural environment.Product covered by ADR/RID regulations.
