- High foaming, salt-free surfactant with detergency, wetting, hydrotroping & emulsifying properties.
- Recommended for high foaming industrial cleaning applications as well as mild, personal care products:
- Mildness & Low Toxicity: DeTERIC LP is recommended for use as a secondary surfactant in personal cleansing and baby care products. Amphoterics are known for their mild detergency and for their ability to reduce irritation and improve the feel of skin and hair.
- Antistatic Agent: Due to its positive charge at pH <7, DeTERIC LP is electrostatically attracted to negatively charged hair and skin proteins leading to substantive, conditioning effects especially at mildly acidic pH.
- Foam Boosting & Stability: DeTERIC LP can be used to boost the foam of primary surfactants as well as increase the foam quality and density, even in the presence of oily materials and under hard water conditions.
- Efficient Hydrotrope: DeTERIC LP has the ability to solubilize hydrophobic ingredients including nonionic surfactants, oils including tea tree oil and eucalyptus, antibacterial actives, and fragrances. The benefits of formulating with DeTERIC LP include :-
- Increased formulation stability at elevated temperature
- Increased formulation stability at low temperature
- Increased formulation clarity
- Ability to formulate high solids, low viscosity products

Technical Details & Test Data
- Hydrotrope Data
- DeTERIC LP is a superior hydrotrope compared to other high foaming amphoteric surfactants in several electrolytic systems. To determine hydrotrope capabilities, a series of cloud point tests were performed with 3% NPE-9 and 2.5% hydrotrope in the electrolytes listed below.
- The higher the cloud point temperature, the more efficient the hydrotrope.
- Corrosion Inhibition Properties
