About product
  • low water content,

  • compatible with non-ionic, anionic and cationic surfactants,
  • biodegradable.

Laureth-1. The product co-creates a group of surfactants based on lauryl alcohol with a carbon distribution of C12-C14. This product is distinguished by its low water content (max. 0.2%) and is mainly used as an intermediate in the production of anionic surfactants from the group of lauryl ether sulfates (SLES).

It has the form of a transparent or turbid liquid, with time clear at the top and turbid with sediment at the bottom. The product has a color of max. 30 on the Hazen scale at 40°C. ROKAnol® LK1 is poorly soluble in water, in which it forms turbid solutions. The commercial product contains over 99.9% of the active substance and solidifies at a temperature of approx. 10°C. Compared to other ROKAnol® L series, it is characterized by a very low HLB value.

In addition to its use in the sulphation process, ROKAnol® LK1 can be a component of cosmetic formulations, mainly hair colouring and bleaching preparations. This product does not demonstrate foaming properties, but it is characterized by very good detergent, emulsifying, dispersing and thickening properties. In shampoos, shower gels, bath liquids and other washable cosmetics, it acts as a washing agent and rheology modifier (thickening agent). It also demonstrates the ability to solubilize a wide range of perfumes and active ingredients. It can be used with other non-ionic, anionic or cationic surfactants.

In addition, the product is used in fiber pre-treatment processes as a component of a formulation that removes oil stains (mineral oils) from fabrics/knitwear, which are the result of industrial knitting and weaving processes.

Laureth-1 is biodegradable in the natural environment.

  • semi-finished product for the production of SLES,
