SULFOROKAnol L170/1 MB is an anionic surfactant from the group of alkyl ether sulphates (INCI name: Sodium Laureth Sulfate). The product is mainly based on raw material of natural origin. It has the consistency of liquid paste, colourless to pale yellow. The product is available in a concentrated form as a 70% aqueous solution, which translates into a favourable economic aspect in terms of transport and storage. SULFOROKAnol L170/1 MB does not contain preservatives and is completely soluble in water, including hard water.
SULFOROKAnol L170/1 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 SULFOROKAnol L170/1 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.
Due to its anionic character, this product is perfect for formulations with other anionic, non-ionic and amphoteric surfactants. The product is the main ingredient of personal hygiene products, such as body wash gels, shampoos, bath lotions. Among the whole group of alkyl ether sulphates it shows the best rheological properties in personal hygiene products.
SULFOROKAnol L170/1 MB has excellent washing properties, increased resistance to hard water, emulsifiability and foaming – this product generates high and very stable foams. One of the basic features of the product is its ability to increase the viscosity of washing formulations in the presence of electrolytes and amphoteric or non-ionic surfactants, such as ROKAmina K30 or ROKAmid KAD.
The surfactant complies with the biodegradability criteria laid down in Regulation (EC) No. 648/2004 on detergents.
SULFOROKAnol L170/1 MB is also used as an ingredient in a wide range of detergents – dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents (including concentrated ones), liquids for cleaning hard surfaces, as well as professional detergents. Due to above-average foaming properties, the product is used as a component of active foams for car care products. As a component of cleaning formulations for various surfaces, it is suitable for both acidic and alkaline environments. Excellent detergency properties of the product make it suitable as a component of degreasing and washing formulations for wet processing in the leather industry. Due to its emulsifying and anionic properties, SULFOROKAnol L170/1 MB is used as an emulsifier in processing fluids.
Moreover, due to an excellent foaming properties, it is a basic component of air- entraining admixtures for concrete and cement mortars. SULFOROKAnol L170/1 MB works in synergy with foam stabilizers, humectants or wetting agents.
SULFOROKAnol L170/1 MB is used in the production of synthetic extinguishing agents, generating extinguishing foam that is resistant to condensation and high temperatures.
Additionally, it plays a significant role as an emulsifier in acrylic, styrene-acrylic, homo- and vinyl acetate copolymers, including VaE and emulsion PVC dispersions.
