Foaming behaviour
Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate is a a mild cosurfactant which gives a rich foam from the slightly acidic range (pH 5.5) to the alkaline range (pH > 9).
Hostapon SG provides excellent foam in combination with fatty acid salts (soaps).
By choosing the appropriate combination of soap of different chainlength, foam volume and creaminess can be dramatically improved.
In this respect, lauric acid boosts foam, a combination of lauric and myristic acid will produce more creamy lather.
In combination with Cocamidopropyl Betaine or CocoBetaine at pH > 7 foam buildup (flash foam) is compareable to standard SLES/Betaine systems.
Additionally, higher foam creaminess is achieved.
In mild surfactant systems based on Alkylpolyglucosides and Betaines Hostapon SG improves flash foam.
Thickening behaviour:
Hostapon SG is significantly easier to viscosify than other aminoacid surfactants like acylglutamates or sarcosinates.
Rinsability:
Hostapon SG provides excellent rinsability, especially for areas with low water hardness.
In this respect Hostapon SG shows significant advantages over conventional cosurfactants like cocamidopropylbetaine, taurate surfactants, acylglutamates and even monoalkylphosphate.
In a rinsability panel test the panelists could feel a perceivable sensoric difference with a 95 % significance
level when comparing 10 % SLES solution with a solution containing 10 % SLES plus 3 % Hostapon SG.
Low-temperature properties:
At room temperature, Hostapon SG is a clear to slightly hazy liquid, which may form a slight precipitate on storage.
Protect from exposure to cold during transport and storage.
The properties of Hostapon SG are reversibly altered by exposure to cold.
If Hostapon SG becomes turbid, thickens or freezes (melting point 6°C) through exposure to cold, thaw slowly at a maximum temperature of 40 °C and afterwards homogenize briefly.
