Ceteareth-80 refer to polyoxyethylene ethers of a mixture of high molecular mass saturated fatty alcohols, mainly cetyl alcohol (m = 15) and stearyl alcohol (m = 17).
The number 80 indicates the average number of ethylene oxide residues in the polyoxyethylene chain.
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.
CETEARETH-80 is an oil-in-water emulsifier that is used for the production of ointments, creams, liquid emulsions, gels and other cosmetic formulations.
It is supplied in the form of free-flowing, non-dusting micro-granules, and is an efficient protective colloid that can increase the stability of dispersed systems.
This research grade product is intended for use in R&D only.
CETEARETH-80 is classified as :
- Cleansing : Helps to keep a clean surface
- Surfactant : Reduces the surface tension of cosmetics and contributes to the even distribution of the product when it is used. wetting body surfaces, emulsifying or solubilizing oils, and suspending soil (generally, such ingredients contribute to the foaming and lathering properties of cleansing products).
The polyethylene glycol ethers of cetearyl alcohol are called ceteareths. Ceteareth-80 is used as a surfactant in cosmetic products.
- Ceteareth-80 is used as detergent, diffusing agents, foam inhibitor, lime soap dispersing agent.
- The product is mainly employed in household, industrial and institutional detergents and cleaners.
- Ceteareth-80 can improve the solubility of detergent powders and reduce ash.
- Ceteareth-80 has a very low polyglycol content. This makes it using in coatings applied to enzymes, defoamers in powder form, bleach activators and other detergent ingredients that are required to unfold their action gradually over the whole wash.

Ceteareth-80 is a highly efficient nonionic surfactant for cosmetic formulations.
It shows a powerful solublizing action and excellent dispersing effect on water insoluble pigments.
Ceteareth-80 can be combined with all other types of surfactants as non-ionic, anionic, or cationic products.
Ceteareth-80 is used as emulsifying agents for the production creams, Squid emulsions, Gels and other cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations.
Extremely good results are obtained with Mixtures of the various Ceteareth serials.
The product is suitable amulsifying agents for all in-water types of emulsion.
All conventional hydrophobic cosmetic raw materials can be emulsified to yield very stable oil-in-water emulsions.
