Sodium Laureth-6 Carboxylate

The "Hybrid" Surfactant: Anionic Power with Non-Ionic Mildness

Sodium Laureth-6 Carboxylate (AEC) is a unique polyether carboxylate surfactant that bridges the gap between different chemical families. It combines the high foaming and cleansing power of anionic surfactants with the extreme mildness and hard-water resistance of non-ionic surfactants. It is the formulation problem-solver for modern, eco-friendly products.

01. Personal Care & Sensitive Skin

The Perfect Partner for Amino Acids.

• The "Synergy" Booster: While Amino Acid surfactants are mild, their foam can sometimes be weak. Adding Sodium Laureth-6 Carboxylate significantly enhances foam density and stability without compromising mildness. It is the secret weapon in premium facial cleansers.

• Barrier-Friendly Cleansing: Ideal for sensitive skin and baby products. Its large molecular structure prevents it from penetrating the skin, ensuring a thorough cleanse that leaves the skin barrier intact—no tightness, no irritation.

• Scalp Health: In shampoos, it balances deep cleaning with conditioning. It removes oil build-up effectively while respecting the scalp’s natural pH, reducing the risk of dandruff and itchiness caused by harsh stripping.

02. Industrial & Specialized Cleaning

Hard Water Tolerance & Food Safety.

• Superior Hard Water Resistance: Unlike standard soaps that form scum in hard water, this surfactant retains 100% of its cleaning power even in mineral-rich water. This makes it ideal for industrial cleaning where water quality varies.

• Food Equipment Hygiene: Suitable for food-contact surface cleaners. It cuts through grease and protein residues on processing equipment while being easy to rinse off, ensuring high safety standards.

• Textile Processing: A high-performance scouring agent. In weak alkaline systems, it efficiently removes natural waxes and impurities from fabrics. Its excellent dispersing properties also help dyes penetrate evenly, improving color uniformity.
