SIMULSOL™ SL 8

Alkylpolyglucoside - Excellent foaming properties

SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 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 B 865 excepted solid content and color.

SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 is a high foaming and detergent alkyl polyglucoside.

SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 surface activity is not affected by temperature (no cloud point) and it exhibits an excellent sustainable profile.

Technical properties

1- Hydrotropic effect

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

2- Solubilizing effect

Unlike other non-ionic surfactants, it does not reduce the foam but, conversely, promotes its formation. SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 is a highly effective solubilizing agent for essential oils and fragrances.

In addition, SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 can also solubilize cationic surfactants (such as quaternium-82). SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 can therefore be used in the formulation of many different products containing cationic agents.

3- Foaming power

SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 can be used in mild cleaning products. It is moderately wetting and its cleansing action is comparable to that of NaLES, making it a mild cleansing agent.

SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 produces a satisfactory foam volume, even in the presence of soil.The foam developed by SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 is fine and stable.

4- Wetting power

SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 is not very wetting, which gives it its dermo-compatible character.

5- Foaming enhancer

Formulas that contain SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 as a solubilizing agent develop higher foam volumes. In fact SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 boosts volume.

6- Electrolytes resistance

SIMULSOL^TM SL 8 is widely compatible in concentrated electrolyte solution, strong alkaline medium and acid ones (pH>3).
