- Libranol RDG-LA is a Rapeseed Oil based non-ionic surfactant with low free Diethanolamide which is compatible with most surfactant types. It is used within Personal Care products such as shampoos, conditioners and water free soaps and within Household products, such as in fabric conditioners due to its foam boosting/ stabilizing and viscosity modifying effects when used with ether sulfates and other anionic surfactants. Within Industrial and Institutional cleaning products
- Libranol RDG-LA has anticorrosive and degreasing properties and it is used in aqueous emulsions for metal cutting and non-corrosive metal working fluids. Typical usage levels in rinse off cosmetics are 2 – 6%.
