MACKAM® LHS E

1 of 62 products in this brand
MACKAM® LHS E is a fatty alkyl hydroxysultaine, ideal for industrial, household, and hair & body care formulations. It is a biodegradable, high-foaming surfactant with excellent stability in both extreme acidic and alkaline conditions. As a permanently zwitterionic surfactant, MACKAM® LHS E is compatible with nearly all other surfactants and can be solubilized at 2-3% in 30-40% caustic soda solution. Unlike similar amido-functional sultaines, MACKAM® LHS E is highly stable in both acid and alkali, resisting hydrolysis degradation.
