ROKAnol L7W, thanks to its very good detergency, wetting, dispersing and emulsifying properties, is perfect as a basic surfactant in liquid and powder detergents, dishwashing liquids, household and technical cleaning agents and hand cleaners. It can also be used in the environment of oxidizing and reducing agents and hard water. Its activation can be seen in cold water, acidic baths, neutral and dilute alkalis. ROKAnol L7W - Laureth-7 - 68439-50-9 can be used in a mixture with other non-ionic auxiliary agents and in mixtures with anionic and cationic surfactants. It exhibits its synergistic washing and cleaning effects in a mixture with alkyl sulphates and alkylaryl sulphonates.

This agent is used in many cosmetic preparations, e.g. for washing and care of the skin and hair, in color cosmetics, sunscreen, shaving and aftershave cosmetics. In addition, it is used in the processes of pre-treatment of fibers, where it acts as a component of a formulation that removes oil stains (mineral oils) from fabrics / knitted fabrics that arose during industrial knitting and weaving processes. Due to its wetting properties on cotton fabric, it can be used as a component of bleaching compositions for raw knitted fabrics and cotton fabrics. During the final stages of the textile dyeing process, it removes excess dyes from the bath.

The product is biodegradable in the natural environment.
