Amine oxide 30% (Lauramine oxide)
Non-ionic / amphoteric, C12-14 alkyl dimethyl amine oxide, approx. 30% active. A powerful foam booster and grease cutter that also...
HC-SUR-005View & quote →AOS 38% (Alpha olefin sulfonate)
Anionic, sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate, approx. 38% active. Excellent flash foam with good tolerance of hard water. Stable across a...
HC-SUR-003View & quote →APG (Alkyl polyglucoside)
Non-ionic, plant-derived. Made from plant-derived sugars and fatty alcohols. Good wetting and cleaning, low streaking, mild, and stable in strongly...
HC-SUR-010View & quote →C9-11 alcohol ethoxylate (6EO)
Non-ionic, alcohols C9-11 ethoxylated. A fast-wetting, low-odour non-ionic that emulsifies oils and grease and rinses freely. One of the most...
HC-SUR-011View & quote →CAPB 30% (Cocamidopropyl betaine)
Amphoteric, approx. 30% active solution. A mild co-surfactant that boosts and stabilises foam, improves mildness and helps build viscosity alongside...
HC-SUR-004View & quote →Cationic surfactants
Quaternary ammonium compounds. Positively charged surfactants that deposit on fabrics and surfaces, used for softening, anti-static and drying properties.
HC-SUR-014View & quote →Coconut diethanolamide (Cocamide DEA)
Non-ionic, C8-18 fatty acid diethanolamide. Builds viscosity and stabilises foam in anionic systems, and adds grease-cutting power. A classic thickener...
HC-SUR-009View & quote →LABSA (Linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid)
Anionic, supplied as the acid. A cost-effective, high-detergency surfactant supplied as the acid and neutralised during manufacture. The workhorse of...
HC-SUR-006View & quote →Polysorbate 20
Non-ionic, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate. A gentle solubiliser used to dissolve fragrance oils and other oily ingredients into clear water-based products.
HC-SUR-012View & quote →Polysorbate 80
Non-ionic, polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono-oleate. A stronger solubiliser and emulsifier than polysorbate 20, suited to heavier fragrance loads and oil-in-water emulsions.
HC-SUR-013View & quote →SLS (Sodium lauryl sulfate)
Anionic. High-foaming, strong cleaning anionic surfactant. Harsher than SLES on skin, so used where cleaning power matters more than mildness.
HC-SUR-002View & quote →Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate
Anionic, neutralised LAS solution. Ready-neutralised linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, giving strong detergency without handling the acid. Cost-effective and easy to formulate.
HC-SUR-007View & quote →TEA dodecylbenzene sulfonate 50%
Anionic, triethanolamine salt of LAS, approx. 50% active. A milder, more soluble form of alkylbenzene sulfonate that stays clear at...
