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-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™ ALP is a vegetable-derived, amino acid based amphoteric surfactant useful in the formulation of mild foaming products. Combining the soothing effect of arginine with the low irritation potential of an amphoteric surfactant creates an exceptionally mild surfactant for personal care products. PEL-AMPH™ ALP produces moderate levels of foam, is an excellent wetting agent, has a high renewable carbon content, and is readily biodegradable.

PEL-ALC™ SA-15P is a nonionic emollient, solubilizer and coupling agent, useful for formulating non-greasy skin care compositions. It also serves as a coupling agent for mineral oil and/or esters in hydroalcoholic systems and as a base for perfume compositions.

PEL-AMPH™ HPL-28 is a modern imidazoline derived amphoteric surfactant that is suggested for personal care applications where mildness and luxurious lather are desired. Based on a pure lauric source, PEL-AMPH™ HPL-28 contains minimal amounts of by-products and is compatible with most other surfactants. In personal wash formulations such as body washes and shampoos, PEL-AMPH™ HPL-28 provides a dense lather and cleans without defatting the skin to give a rich, conditioning effect.

PEL-EST™ OVG is a 100% natural derived emollient ester, obtained from organic extra virgin olive oil. It is useful as a co-emulsifier, wetting agent, emollient and conditioning agent for hair and skin. PEL-EST™ OVG is very mild and is excellent for refatting the skin. It is free of PEG, EO, PO, and dioxane.

PEL-AMID™ L-DIPA is a useful replacement for Cocamide & Lauramide DEA in personal care applications. This product is not diethanolamine derived but it performs similarly to traditional diethanolamides. It is a good viscosifier & foam booster that is an easy to handle liquid at room temperature. PEL-AMID™ L-DIPA can be used in any application where the traditional coco or lauryl diethanolamides have been used. PEL-AMID™ L-DIPA is effective in a wide variety of personal care products, including shampoos, body cleansers, bubble baths & facial cleansers.
