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™ HPC-32 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 coconut source, PEL-AMPH™ HPC-32 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™ HPC-32 provides a dense lather and cleans without defatting the skin to give a rich, conditioning effect.

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-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™ 2CSF is one of the mildest amphoteric surfactants of its class and is suggested for personal care applications where low irritation is a must. In personal care formulations such as baby shampoos, bubble baths, and body cleansers, PEL-AMPH 2C provides a moderate lather and cleans without defatting the skin to give a rich, conditioning effect. PEL-AMPH 2C is stable over a wide pH range which makes it ideal for formulating AHA cleansers, etc. It is useful for the formulation of products used around food preparation areas and hospital hand cleansers. PEL-AMPH 2C is frequently used as the only surfactant in products such as premoistened wipes.

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-SURF™ PHC is a concentrated sulfate free blend of mild surfactants designed to be used as a base for cleansing personal care products such as shower gels, body washes, shampoos and face cleansers. Formulations prepared from PELSURF PHC may be thickened by adjusting the pH into the desired range, typically 5 - 6. By adding additional components such as preservative, fragrance, conditioning agents, etc. A variety of specialized formulas can be created.

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-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™ 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.
