Secondary Surfactants

  • Secondary surfactants are supporting surfactants used in combination with primary surfactants to enhance the overall performance of formulations.
  • The secondary surfactants improve specific attributes such as foam stability, mildness, viscosity, and sensory feel.
  • These are used in various applications such as Personal Care, Home Care, Industrial Applications and Decorative formulations.
  • SSPL offers amide esters such as Coco monoethanolamide and Coco Diethanolamide and anionics such as sodium octyl sulfate.
  • Amide esters

    Coco Diethanolamide

    • CAS No: 68603-42-9
    • INCI Name: Cocamide DEA
    • Excellent foam booster, commonly used alongwith anionics
    • Viscosity building and foam stabilising
    • Also aid in control of the dissolution rate of formulations in various product forms
    • Used in shampoos, hand washes and hair care products
    • SSPLs coco diethanolamide is completely naturally derived and readily biodegradable

    Coco Monoethanolamide

    • CAS No: 68140-00-1
    • INCI Name: Cocamide MEA
    • Coco monoethanolamide is an amide of monoethanolamine and coconut oil fatty acids.
    • It functions as a foam booster, giving richer and denser foam.
    • It is also a viscosity increasing agent frequently used to thicken the aqueous phase of formulations and emulsify the blended ingredients
    • Usedthroughout the range of hair products and skin care preparations.
    • Also used in hard surface cleaners
    • SSPLs Coco MEA is completely naturally derived and readily biodegradable

  • Special anionics

    Sodium Octyl Sulfates

    • CAS No: 142-31-4
    • It is used as a wetting and air entraining agent
    • Low viscosity with moderate foaming properties

    Hydrotropic

    • Stable in high salt as well as alkali concentration
    • Used in textiles and firefighting foams due to the unique foam structure it creates especially in hard water; creates foam with a higher degree of hydration
