• Shampoos, body wash, facial cleansers (blend with
**CAPB** for mildness/viscosity).
• Hand soaps, foam cleansers, bath gels (high foam, easy thickening with NaCl). • Liquid dish & hard‑surface cleaners (boost with APG/AOS as needed). • Hotel/retail/private label bases. |
• 170–220 kg HDPE drums • 1000 kg IBCs • ISO tank/bulk.
• Preservative optioning and low‑dioxane variants available. |
• Store 5–35 °C; protect from freezing/overheating.
• Viscosity in finished product tuned with NaCl and amide/thickeners. • Avoid eye/skin contact with concentrate; follow SDS. |
