MONTALINE C 40
Extra-fluid and polyvalent thickener
MONTALINETM C 40 is a polyvalent cationic surfactant. In addition to its basic foaming properties, MONTALINETM C 40 also acts as:
- an easy-to-use thickening agent:
- an anti-dehydrating agent
- a formula-protecting agent.

Properties
- Foaming properties
MONTALINETM C 40 is a cationic surfactant with good foaming properties. It develops an abundant foam, which is not altered in the presence of hard water and soil.
- Foam boost
One of MONTALINETM C 40’s specific characteristics is the rapidity of its foam boost. This parameter is particularly important for the formulation of toiletry products.
- Thickener
MONTALINETM C 40 presents many different advantages as a thickening agent:
- an extra-fluid presentation
- totally stable viscosity over time
- a non-pH-dependent thickening effect
- the option of thickening in the absence of salt (NaCl)
- a polyvalence making it possible to combine several properties in a single product.
- Easy to use
The main advantage of this polyvalent surfactant is its extra-fluid form. Its viscosity remains below 50 mPa.s irrespective of temperature (from 4°C to 50°C). MONTALINETM C 40 is easier to use in the industrial process. Anti-dehydrating effect MONTALINETM C 40 has an anti-dehydrating effect that allows it to limit irritation due to NaLES.
Applications
MONTALINETM C 40 can be used in a very wide variety of body or hair cleansing products due to its properties (shampoos, shower gels, foaming gels...).
