Syntapon L MEA is an anionic easy-to-thicken surfactant generating dense and stable foam. It is especially suitable for the formulation of clear products with low cloud point, such as shampoos, 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 is also used in fire-fighting foam concentrates.
