Amphoteric Surfactants
Amphoteric surfactants are unique surface-active agents that can act as either anionic or cationic surfactants depending on the pH of the solution. These molecules contain both acidic (carboxyl or sulfonic) and basic (amine or quaternary ammonium) functional groups, giving them high versatility, mildness, and compatibility with other surfactants. Amphoteric surfactants are widely used in personal care, household cleaning, industrial applications, pharmaceuticals, and specialty formulations where low irritation and effective cleansing are critical. Common examples include Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Lauryl Betaine.
Cocamino Propyl Betaine Desmocol
Cocamino Propyl Betaine Desmocol is a mild amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids and amino acids. It appears as a clear to slightly hazy liquid with a faint coconut-like odor. CAPB is widely used in personal care and household cleaning products for its excellent foaming, cleansing, and conditioning properties. Being a zwitterionic surfactant, it is compatible with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants, enhancing the mildness and stability of formulations. The 30% active solution is easy to handle and incorporate in various cosmetic and detergent products. It functions as a foam booster, viscosity builder, and anti-irritant agent, making it a versatile ingredient in mild formulations.
Disperse Black
Disperse Black is a synthetic dye belonging to the class of disperse dyes, primarily used for dyeing hydrophobic fibers such as polyester, nylon, acetate, and other synthetic textiles. It is characterized by its fine particle size, high tinctorial strength, excellent fastness properties (wash, light, and rubbing), and ability to produce deep, uniform black shades. Disperse Black dyes are water-insoluble and applied in aqueous dispersion form during high-temperature dyeing processes. These dyes are favored in the textile industry for their vibrant colors and durability.
Myristic Acid
Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid with a 14-carbon chain, naturally found in nutmeg, coconut oil, palm kernel oil, and butter fat. It appears as a white crystalline solid with a faint odor. It is widely used in the manufacture of soaps, cosmetics, surfactants, and food additives due to its emollient and cleansing properties. Myristic Acid acts as a key intermediate in the production of esters, detergents, and lubricants.
Oleic Acid
Oleic Acid is a naturally occurring monounsaturated fatty acid commonly derived from vegetable oils such as olive, sunflower, and canola oils. This oily liquid is widely used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries due to its excellent emollient, surfactant, and stabilizing properties. Oleic Acid 75% is a key raw material in manufacturing soaps, detergents, lubricants, and personal care products. Its amphiphilic nature makes it an effective emulsifier and penetration enhancer.
Polyglyceryl
Polyglyceryl refers to a family of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers made by the polymerization of glycerol units. Depending on the number of glycerol units (e.g., Polyglyceryl-2, -3, -6, -10) and fatty acid esterification (e.g., laurate, oleate, stearate), they offer different emulsifying and solubilizing properties. These compounds are biodegradable, mild, and skin-friendly, making them ideal for use in cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. Polyglyceryl esters are often chosen in natural and organic product formulations due to their origin and non-toxic profile.
Purple Pigment
Purple Pigment is a colorant formulation containing 10% concentrated purple pigment dispersed in a carrier matrix. It is used to impart purple coloration in a wide range of applications, offering excellent color stability, UV resistance, and compatibility with various substrates. This pigment preparation is widely utilized in plastics, coatings, inks, textiles, cosmetics, and construction materials, where consistent hue and dispersion are essential.
Triethanolamine (TEA)
Triethanolamine (TEA) is a viscous, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild ammonia-like odor. It is a multifunctional organic compound widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications as a pH adjuster, emulsifier, surfactant, and corrosion inhibitor. Triethanolamine neutralizes fatty acids to form soaps and helps stabilize emulsions, making it essential in personal care formulations and various chemical manufacturing processes. Its versatility and compatibility with other ingredients make it a valuable additive in numerous industries.
