Steareth-100
Steareth-100 (CAS: 9005-00-9) is a non-ionic surfactant characterised by its white pellet form and a high HLB value of 18. This polyoxyethylene stearyl ether possesses a hydroxyl value range of 13-25 mg KOH/g. It is commonly employed as an emulsifier and solubiliser in various industrial and cosmetic formulations, owing to its excellent detergency and solubilising properties. TSS supplies this chemical for research and industrial applications.

Emulsifier in Cosmetic Formulations
Steareth-100 acts as an effective emulsifier, stabilising oil-in-water emulsions in cosmetic products like lotions and creams. Its non-ionic nature makes it compatible with a wide range of ingredients.
Detergent Component
As a non-ionic detergent, Steareth-100 is utilised in cleaning formulations for its ability to reduce surface tension and aid in the removal of oily soils. It offers good foaming properties.
Solubiliser
The high HLB value of Steareth-100 makes it suitable for solubilising fragrances, oils, and other hydrophobic ingredients into aqueous systems, enhancing product clarity and stability.
