PEL-SIL™ Bis-PEG-12 is a linear, 100% active, dimethicone terminated with PEG-12 polyether groups. It is dispersible in water and is used in applications where lubricity, softness and conditioning are required. It finds use in personal care, household products, textile finishing and leather processing. Excellent surface tension reducer, it can boost foam quantity and stability in a multitude of personal care applications. It provides additional benefits such as moisturizing, emollience and a soft silky feel on hair and skin. It may also be used as a reagent to modify polymeric systems by virtue of its two primary hydroxyls. In these systems, it provides the typical benefits of silicones that include slip, mar resistance, anti-blocking, softness and improved temperature stability to the finish polymer.

PEL-PHOS™ SG is cetyl alcohol, alkoxylated and phosphated. With its higher molecular weight and its weak anionic nature, it is very mild to the skin when formulated to pH 4-9. PEL-PHOS™ SG provides conditioning, emulsification, thickening, solubilization and is also useful for the adjustment of the pH of both hair and skin cleansing products. Because it is a phosphate ester, it acts as a buffer to stabilize pH. It is used in conditioning shampoos where it improves wet combing and enhances the manageability of dry hair. It is compatible with both cationic and anionic surfactants and is not very hydrophobic or cationic, like many conditioning agents, so it does not build up on the hair. When formulated with cationics, such as in hair conditioners, PEL-PHOS™ SG will provide viscosity enhancement to formulations.

PEL-AMPH™ 2CSF is a mild amphoteric surfactant with applications in both personal care and industrial cleaners. Due to its excellent coupling properties in personal care products, it is used to couple conditioning agents in shampoos. Its ability to couple nonionic surfactants into high levels of electrolyte makes PEL-AMPH™ 2CSF very useful for built industrial cleaners. It is suggested for systems where sodium chloride would be detrimental to the performance of the final product or would cause corrosion problems. PEL-AMPH™ 2CSF is stable over a broad pH range and is the surfactant of choice in high electrolyte systems.

PEL-AMPH™ LDP is suggested for systems where sodium chloride would be detrimental to the performance of the final product or would cause corrosion problems. PEL-AMPH™ LDP is stable over the entire pH range and is used as a detergent & hydrotrope in high electrolyte systems. The product finds use in mild surfactant systems as well as hard surface cleaners. PEL-AMPH™ LDP helps wetting and solubilization in systems containing phosphate and polyphosphates. PEL-AMPH™ LDP useful as a corrosion inhibitor in aqueous systems. PEL-AMPH™ LDP is a high-foaming, salt-free amphoteric surfactant with good detergency.

PEL-AMPH™ OSF is an amphoteric surfactant with applications in industrial cleaners and personal care. It has excellent lubricating properties in addition to modest detergency. Its solubility in non-polar solvents makes it useful as a detergent for anhydrous, solvent-based cleaners. Unlike many other amphoteric surfactants, PEL-AMPH™ OSF contains no sodium chloride by-product. It is suggested for systems where chloride would be detrimental to performance or would cause corrosion problems. PEL-AMPH™ OSF is stable over a broad pH range and is a good choice for water-free cleaning formulations.

PEL-AMPH™ ODP is a 50% active aqueous solution of a low molecular weight amphoteric surfactant. It acts as an effective hydrotrope to couple nonionic surfactants into systems containing high levels of electrolyte. PEL-AMPH™ ODP is a low foamer that provides good detergency in systems that require high cloud points. It is stable in both highly acid and alkaline systems offering utility in acid cleaners and heavily built detergents.

PEL-AMPH™ 2CSF-CG is both an alcohol-free and salt-free, mild, amphoteric surfactant with applications in both personal care and HI&I. In personal care products, PEL-AMPH™ 2CSF-CG is used to couple conditioning agents into shampoos and body washes. This high foaming surfactant makes an ideal choice when formulating mild shampoos or body washes. Its high buffer capacity also offers utility when formulating neutralizing shampoos that act to remove all relaxer types. PEL-AMPH™ 2CSF-CG is also useful in industrial cleaners due to its ability to couple nonionic surfactants into high levels of electrolytes and its stability over a broad pH range. PEL-AMPH™ 2CSF-CG is the ideal choice for systems where sodium chloride would be detrimental to the performance of the final product or would cause corrosion problems. It also has the potential to reduce the overall irritation of other surfactants.

PEL-AMPH™ CSF is a amphoteric surfactant useful in the formulation of both personal care and industrial cleaners. Due to its mildness and excellent coupling properties, PEL-AMPH™ CSF is used to couple conditioning agents in shampoos. Its ability to couple nonionic surfactants into formulations with high levels of electrolyte makes PEL-AMPH™ CSF very useful for industrial cleaners. PELAMPH CSF is suggested for products where the presence of sodium chloride would be detrimental to the performance of the final product or would cause corrosion problems because the chloride level is essentially nil. It is stable over a broad pH range and is the surfactant of choice in high electrolyte systems.

PEL-SIL™ 9315 has a wide range of applications in polyurethane and in personal care products including, hair sprays and other leave-in hair products, shampoos, skin care lotions & shaving soaps. It is stable in neutral or mildly acid or alkaline aqueous solutions. Its stability is reduced by strong acid or alkali. PEL-SIL™ 9315 is used as a surfactant in the production of rigid urethane foams. It is not compatible on the isocyanate side and must be added with the polyol. It exhibits excellent compatibility with most polyol premixes.
