CETEARETH-50


EC / List no.: 500-212-8
CAS no.: 68439-49-6

Ceteareth-50 is a nonionic surfactant prepared from cetyl and stearyl alcohol and 50 moles of ethylene oxide. 
Ceteareth-50 is used in cosmetics as surfactant and emulsifier: HLB (17.7). 
Ceteareth-50 makes it possible to create oil-in-water emulsions.

Ceteareth-50 is controversial because of its manufacturing process and low biodegradability

CETEARETH-50 is classified as :
Cleansing
Emulsifying
Surfactant
CAS Number: 68439-49-6
COSING REF No: 75122
Chem/IUPAC Name:    C16-18 alcohols, ethoxylated (50 mol EO average molar ratio)


The functions of the cosmetic ingredient
CLEANSING : helping to keep the body surface clean.

SURFACTANT - CLEANSING : wetting body surfaces, emulsifying or solubilizing oils, and suspending soil (generally, such ingredients contribute to the foaming and lathering properties of cleansing products).

SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING : helping suspensions or dispersions of liquids in a second liquid by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified.

Ceteareth-50 is a fatty with high saturation. 
Ceteareth-50 is in the form of white particles / powder, odorless, soluble in water and to form a colloidal solution. 
Ceteareth-50 is suitable for emulsion cosmetics, textiles, detergents.


What is Ceteareth 50?
Ceteareth-50 is an emulsifier of various origins and is considered to be of concern .

Ceteareth-50 is a nonionic surfactant made from cetyl and stearyl alcohol and 50 moles of ethylene oxide. 
Ceteareth-50 is used in cosmetics as a surfactant and emulsifier. 
Ceteareth-50 enables the production of oil-in-water emulsions.

Ceteareth-50 is controversial because of its manufacturing process and its low biodegradability.

function in cosmetics
CLEANSING: Cleans skin, hair or teeth
TENSID (EMULSIFYING) - EMULGATOR: Allows the formation of finely divided mixtures of oil and water (emulsions)
TENSID (CLEANING): Detergent substance for cleaning skin, hair and/or teeth

These compounds are non-ionic surfactants that work by attracting both water and oil at the same time, frequently used as emulsifiers in soaps and cosmetics.

Performance and application

Soluble in water and organic solvents, stable to acid, alkali, hard water. 
Ceteareth-50 has good properties of wetting, emulsifying and cleaning.

Ceteareth-50 has the properties of diffusion, leveling, wetting and foaming, and has a good affinity for direct dyes and VAT dyes. 
In the textile industry as a leveling agent, diffusion agent, stripping agent, retarder, printing semi-anti-dye agent, anti-white agent, brightening agent. 
This product has unique emulsifying properties for stearic acid, paraffin wax, mineral oil, etc. 
Ceteareth-50 can be used as emulsifier in latex industry, polymer emulsion polymerization reaction and glass fiber lubricating oil. This product can effectively remove the dye decomposition and accumulation of dirt on the fabric, reduce the electrostatic effect of the fabric.
Used as a component of spinning oil for polyester and other synthetic fibers.
In chemical production as paint slurry A, adhesive FD and rubber BA and other products of raw materials.
Used as raw wool detergent and fruit pesticide penetrant.

Ceteareth-50  is an ether of fatty alcohols like stearyl alcohol or cetyl that are highly saturated. This is non-ionic polyoxyethylene that is odourless and is available in the form of pellets of white colour. Ceteareth-50  is soluble in both alcohol and water and is often used to give a colloidal structure to the solution, and it is used to make oil-in-water emulsions.

Ceteareth-50 is an effective emulsifier and surfactant and also possesses emollient properties. 
Cetearyl-50 can be used as a cleansing agent in cosmetic products. 
Ceteareth-50  can be combined with synthetic and vegetable oils and minerals. 
This product acts as an emulsifier in the formulation of skincare products, which is essentially required in the formulation containing water and oil. 
Ceteareth-50  helps bind the water and oil with each other and helps in stabilizing the product.

Ceteareth-50 is compatible with a wide range of oils and is soluble in both water and isopropyl alcohol. 
Ceteareth-50  helps produce emulsions by decreasing the surface tension of ingredients that are needed to be emulsified. 
Ceteareth-50 also proves to effectively reduce the viscosity or thickness of solutions used to make personal care products and liquid formulas. 
Ceteareth-50  also helps other cosmetic raw materials to dissolve quickly in solvents.
