Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Information
Thetacare AFP-50 is a new and unique polymeric foaming agent optimized for foaming aqueous alcoholic solutions from both pressurized and nonpressurized dispensers. Thetacare AFP-50 is a diethanolamine (DEA)-free, water soluble ingredient that produces thick, stable lather of fast-drying foam which leaves skin with a soft, clean, refreshing, non-sticky after-feel when used in alcohol-based hand and skincare products including foam applied alcohol-based hand and skin sanitizers.
Thetacare AFP-50 is an effective foaming agent for aqueous lower aliphatic alcohol solutions, glycols, ethers and other polar organic solvents such as acetone, ethyl acetate and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether for use in cosmetic formulations ranging from foamable shampoos and personal cleansers to make-up and nail polish removers. Ingredients typically requiring complicated emulsion systems may be foamed utilizing Thetacare AFP-50 such as sunscreen and insect repellent foams, analgesic rubs, antiperspirants, and pet grooming products to name a few.- Formulary
- Recommended for use in alcoholbased OTC Healthcare Antiseptic Drug Products (Skin Disinfectants/Hand Sanitizers).
- Polymeric Alcohol Foaming Agent
