3. Characteristics:
¤ Perfect thickener and stabilizer, better thickening ability than 6501
¤ Good compatibility and excellent synergies performance
¤ Excellent moisture decontamination abilities and resistance to hard water
¤ Difficult to dissolve in water, but mixed with other surfactants, it easy dissolve to transparent solution
¤ Low irritation, less irritation than 6501.
4. Usage:
¤ CMEA is an alkanolamide of nonionic surfactant.
¤ CMEA is hard to dissolve in water, but it will become clear liquid when compounded with soap and other surfactants. Added in solid, powder and liquid detergent, it has excellent performances of foam-stabilizing, thickening, wetting, resistance to hard water, and biodegradation.
¤ In soap, CMEA will enhance the fragrance, increase lustre and preventing rot. Obviously thickening effect will show in liquid washing product. Adding 1% into the prescription, the viscosity will reach even exceed the viscosity of 2-3% 6501 additive. And the dosage of inorganic salt will be saved. The product is especially suitable in amine salt and sulfo succinic acid salt systems.
¤ CMEA is widely used in solid soap and soap powder, washing powder, liquid detergent, emulsification stabilizer, and emulsifying shampoo. The recommended dosage for liquid and emulsification confection is 0.5-2%.
