- Applications
- PROTELAN LS 9011 is applied as a mild co-surfactant for the manufacture of hair shampoos and bath preparations in order to improve the foam properties. PROTELAN LS 9011 accelerates the foam creation and improves the foam stability of solutions containing ether sulfate by forming very fine bubbles, this increases significantly the creaminess of the foam. Compared to other surfactants PROTELAN LS 9011 shows very good foaming properties in the presence of the high concentrations of emollients or oils.
- PROTELAN LS 9011 is free of preservatives.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
Storage at temperatures below 0 °C may lead to turbidity and possible sedimentation of active matter, which can be removed by stirring or gentle heating without quality decrease.
Hint:
PROTELAN LS 9011 is unpreserved. It is recommended to to use all the single drums in order to prevent a contamination. If this is not possible, a conservation of the rest drum, resp. increasing of the pH value to about 9.5 with caustic soda would be a preventine measure. With increasing of pH value, the product changes its odor, which is a reversible appearance. A quality decrease does not occur.
