Syntapon L MEA 60 is an anionic easy-to-thicken surfactant generating dense and stable foam. It is especially suitable for the formulation of clear water-free products with low cloud point, such as shampoos, washing gels, bubble baths, liquid hand soaps and other personal care products. It is easily formulated together with alkanolamides and amphoteric surfactants, providing easy optimization of foaming and viscosity properties.
Owing to its superb foaming properties Syntapon L MEA 60 is also used in fire-fighting foam concentrates.
