Introduction

Potassium polyoxyethylene laurylether phosphate (abbreviated as MAEPK) is a multifunctional surfactant. MAEPK belongs to the class of alkyl ether phosphates, characterized by their mildness and compatibility with the skin. It is derived from lauryl alcohol and ethylene oxide, resulting in a compound with unique surfactant properties. The incorporation of potassium ions further enhances its stability and performance in various formulations.

Characteristics

MAEPK exhibits several key characteristics that make it a preferred choice for formulators:

Mildness: MAEPK is known for its gentle nature, making it suitable for use in products intended for sensitive skin types.
Hydrophilicity: The presence of ethylene oxide groups enhances the surfactant's affinity for water, leading to improved wetting and emulsification properties.
Stability: MAEPK demonstrates excellent stability in a wide range of conditions, including varying pH levels and temperatures.
Thickening: At low concentrations, MAEPK exhibits thickening properties, which can contribute to the overall viscosity and texture of formulations.
Compatibility: It can be easily combined with other surfactants, both anionic and nonionic, to create synergistic formulations with enhanced performance.

Applications

MAEPK finds extensive applications across various personal care products, including but not limited to:

Facial Cleansers: Its mildness and foaming properties make it suitable for use in facial cleansers, helping to remove impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils.
Shampoos: MAEPK contributes to the foaming and cleansing abilities of shampoos, leaving the hair feeling clean and refreshed.
Body Washes: In body wash formulations, MAEPK creates a luxurious lather and helps to emulsify oils and dirt, leaving the skin feeling soft and hydrated.
Children's Bath Products: Its mild nature makes it ideal for use in products designed for children, ensuring a gentle cleansing experience without causing irritation.

Recommended Usage Ranges

The recommended usage ranges for MAEPK typically fall between 5% to 20%.

The optimal concentration may vary depending on the specific requirements of the product and desired performance characteristics.

Packaging and Storage

Packaging Options: Commonly packaged in 50 kg drums.
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its stability and shelf life.
