Application
  • ZETESOL ZN is an unpreserved anionic surfactant for the formulation of anti-dandruff shampoos and bath preparations with deodorized properties.
  • ZETESOL ZN can be combined with anionic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactants. Formulations with ZETESOL ZN need a pH value lower than 5.0 - 5.5 otherwise turbidity can occur due to precipition of ZnO.
  • ZETESOL ZN has good lathering power and is resistant to water hardness. Diluted solutions of ZETESOL ZN can be thickened by addition of fatty acid alkylolamides (PURTON), special fatty alcohol ethoxylated (OXETAL VD), or electrolytes (ammonium or sodium salts).
  • Lather volume and lather structure can be modified by addition of alkylolamides (PURTON), sulfosuccinates (SETACIN) and amphoteric products (AMPHOTENSID).
  • Shampoos with a stable and intensive pearlescent or opacifying effect can be obtained by combination with PERLGLANZMITTEL GM 4175 and PERLGLANZMITTEL GM 4055, respectively.

Storage & Handling

Storage Information

During storage an increase in viscosity may be observed particularly at low temperatures. This may lead to turbidity and possible sedimentation of active matter. Consequently this may hinder the pouring or emptying process. It is therefore recommended to homogenize the product with stirring and slight heating (max. 40°C) just prior to use. This will not affect overall product quality and performance.
