ROKAnol O100 - Oleth-100 - CAS 9004-98-2 is manufactured based on raw materials of natural origin, thanks to which ROKAnol® O100 is characterized by high biodegradability. The product dissolves well in water and in low aliphatic alcohols, acetone and benzene.
The hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of the product at the level of 18.8 gives ROKAnol® O100 a decidedly hydrophilic character. The surfactant is characterized by good thickening and solubilizing properties. In cosmetic products, it acts as a solubilizer, enabling the introduction of substances that are insoluble or poorly soluble in water, e.g. fragrance compositions, plant extracts, fatty substances, to the aqueous solution.
Given its very good emulsifying properties, the product can be used in cosmetic emulsions (e.g. hair conditioners, balms) and in color cosmetics (hair dyes and color cosmetics for the face and body). Additionally, it can act as a skin softening ingredient. This feature makes ROKAnol® O100 used as a semi-finished product for the production of greases widely used in the tanning industry. Due to its solid form and emulsifying properties, the product is also used as an ingredient for the production of vulcanization sealants.
Another example of industrial application is the use of the product as an emulsifier in plant protection products, mainly in EC, SC, EW, ME formulations.
