Applications & Uses

Application
  • OXETAL VD 20 is a liquid thickener, free from nitrogen.
  • OXETAL VD 20 offers very good thickening properties in aqueous solutions of fatty alcohol ether sulfates resp. ether sulfate containing surfactant preparations. Further viscosity increase is achieved by addition of little sodium chloride.
  • Due to its liquid form, OXETAL VD 20 can easily be worked. The use of OXETAL VD 20 in surfactant formulations effects lather stability and a fine-bubble, stable lather.
