Texapon 70 (also known as Texapon N70) is a high-performance anionic surfactant, specifically sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), derived from coconut oil. It’s widely used in the formulation of shampoos, body washes, detergents, and cleaning products for its excellent foaming and cleansing properties. This versatile ingredient is biodegradable and effective in both personal care and household applications.

Key Benefits

• Superior Foaming: Creates rich, stable lather for enhanced user experience in shampoos and soaps.
• Effective Cleansing: Removes dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping natural moisture.
• Mild on Skin: Gentle formulation suitable for sensitive skin when used in appropriate concentrations.
• Versatile: Compatible with a wide range of formulations, including syndet bars and liquid detergents.
• Eco-Friendly: Biodegradable and derived from renewable sources.

How It Works

Texapon 70 works by reducing surface tension, allowing water to penetrate and lift away oils, dirt, and debris. Its ethoxylated structure provides better solubility and milder irritation compared to harsher surfactants like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Concentrations typically range from 10-30% in formulations, depending on the product type.

Usage and Application

• Form: Available as a viscous liquid or paste for easy incorporation into creams, gels, or liquids.
• Applications: Ideal for shampoos, shower gels, dishwashing liquids, and industrial cleaners.
• Dosage: Start with 10-20% in formulations; adjust based on desired foam and cleansing strength.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place; shelf life is generally 1-2 years when unopened.

Precautions and Side Effects

• May cause mild irritation or dryness in high concentrations; patch test recommended.
• Avoid contact with eyes; not suitable for undiluted use.
• Ensure proper pH balancing (around 5-7) to maintain stability and mildness.
• Consult a formulation expert for safe use in personal care products.
