Emulsifier PEG-7/PPG-2 Propylheptyl ether CAS-166736-08-9 ROKAnol GA7LAW

ROKAnol GA7LAW is a polyoxyalkylene glycol based on C10 Guerbet alcohol. The product is used as an ingredient in cleaning cosmetics, e.g. hand soap. The product can also be used in other cleaning applications, e.g. as an ingredient in household detergents.

ROKAnol GA7LAW forms cloudy solutions in water, while it is soluble in organic solvents such as methanol or acetone. The cloud point of this product in a BDG solution (16.7%) is 66-71°C. At room temperature it takes on a light color, i.e. max. 50 on the Hazen scale, while it solidifies at a temperature below -20°C, which makes it easier to handle in winter conditions.

The product is characterized by a reduced content of free alcohol, which translates into a mild smell of the product and low irritating properties. ROKAnol GA7LAW is a product of cosmetic quality - it has a low content of impurities, such as free ethylene oxide, 1,4-dioxane and heavy metals. ROKAnol GA7LAW shows moderate resistance to both acids and alkalis. It can be part of mixtures with other non-ionic, as well as anionic and cationic surfactants.

ROKAnol GA7LAW has excellent degreasing, wetting properties (the lower the degree of ethoxylation of ROKAnol GA series, the better wetting properties) and detergent properties. For this reason, it can be successfully used as a component of cleaning and degreasing formulations. It is the very high degreasing capacity as well as the cosmetic quality of the product that make it used in liquid soaps. The product is intended mainly for liquid soaps for difficult applications - cosmetics intended for heavy soiling.

ROKAnol GA7LAW is a product that is biodegradable in the natural environment and meets the criteria of the Cosmetics and Detergents Directive.

• low solidification point and ease of handling the product in winter conditions,
• emulsifier and dispersant,
• compatible with other non-ionic, anionic and cationic auxiliaries,
