SIMULSOL™ B 865

SIMULSOL^TM B 865 is a non-ionic surfactant prepared from glucose and C8-C10 fatty alcohols. It is composed of minimum 75% bio-based ingredient. It is similar to SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 except for the solid contents and color.

SIMULSOL^TM B 865 is a high foaming and detergent alkylpolyglucoside.

SIMULSOL^TM B 865 is widely compatible in concentrated electrolyte solutions, strong alkaline as well as acidic environments (pH>3).

The surface activity of SIMULSOL^TM B 865 is not affected by temperature (no cloud point).

Technical properties

1-Hydrotropic effect

SIMULSOL^TM B 865 exhibits hydrotropic properties that are highly dependant on concentration in the given application. SIMULSOL^TM B 865 with its intermediate alkyl chain length (octyl & decyl) is highly effective in elevating the cloud point of a solution containing non ionic surfactants. This is also true for system containing non-ionic surfactants as well as electrolytes; a small amount of SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 is needed to clarify a cloudy solution compared to short or long-chain.

2-Solubilizing agent

SIMULSOL^TM B 865 is a highly effective solubilizing agent for essential oils and fragrances.

3-Foaming power

SIMULSOL^TM B 865 can be used as mild cleansing products.It is moderately wetting and its cleansing action is comparable to the one of NaLES.

4-Foam enhancing properties

Formulas that contain SIMULSOL^TM B 865 as a solubilizing agent develop higher foam volumes. In fact SIMULSOL^TM B 865 boosts foam volume more than classical solubilizing agent (such as hydrogenated ethoxylated castor oils).

5-Resistance to electrolytes

SIMULSOL^TM B 865 is widely compatible in concentrated electrolyte solutions, strong alkaline and acidic environments (pH>3).
