Texapon n70t is an anionic surfactant and belongs to the family of alkyl ether sulfates. It is obtained by combining a fatty alcohol such as coconut oil with ethylene oxide and subsequent sulfonation.
Texapon N70 is a high viscosity paste used to make clear detergents. When diluted with water, TEXAPON N70 shows gel structures which are typical of ether sulphates. It contains a small amount of salt. When diluted with water at normal concentrations, it shows low viscosity, and the addition of sodium chloride and alkanolamide to it regulates its viscosity.
Texapon is a natural skin irritant and damages the structure of the two layers of fat in the skin, increasing the subtle evaporation of the skin and resulting in dryness. Therefore, if it is combined with other anionic, amphoteric and non-ionic surfactants, it provides the quality and amount of foaming and washing at a desirable level.
Texapon can also be diluted with triethanolamine if needed.
In herbicides, it is used as a surfactant to improve absorption of the herbicidal chemicals and reduces time the product takes to be rainfast, when enough of the herbicidal agent will be absorbed.
