Emulsifier PEG-4 Rapeseedamide CAS 85536-23-8 ROKAmid MRZ4

ROKAmid MRZ4 is a component of detergents and body care products, such as shampoos, shower gels, hand soaps, shaving gels, etc. It is a highly efficient and economical thickener. It exhibits excellent thickening properties in various surfactant systems at low concentrations. It acts as a foam booster and stabilizer, a strong solubilizing and emulsifying agent, and is effective in both SLES-containing and SLES-free formulations. It is produced on the basis of renewable rapeseed oil and shows good biodegradability. The low viscosity liquid product is easy to handle and can also be formulated at room temperature.

At the same time, it is a substance that stabilizes and improves the quality of foam in mixtures with anionic surfactants. It is also used as a gentle cleanser for skin and hair. Thanks to this, preparations with ROKAmid MRZ4 in their composition have a reduced irritating potential. ROKAmid MRZ4 is an ingredient in detergents and body care products, such as shampoos, shower gels, hand soaps, shaving gels, etc. It is also a good thickening agent. It acts as a foam booster and stabilizer, a strong solubilizing and emulsifying agent, and is effective in both SLES-containing and SLES-free formulations. It is produced on the basis of renewable rapeseed oil and shows good biodegradability.

The liquid form of ROKAmid MRZ4 facilitates its handling (storage, transport, dosing), and also allows formulating recipes without the need for heating, which is particularly important in the case of active ingredients of the formulation that are sensitive to elevated temperatures.
