MEROXAPOL 171.

Insufficient Data CAS 9003-11-6 / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

Meroxapol 171 is a non-ionic polyol surfactant designed to reduce the surface tension of liquids. This property allows it to efficiently blend immiscible liquids, such as oil and water, and enhance the removal of lipid-based impurities and particulate matter.

Summary

Surfactant Emulsifier Cleansing Agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a non-ionic polyol surfactant, Meroxapol 171 functions by decreasing the surface tension of a liquid. This reduction facilitates the emulsification of oils and water, creating stable dispersions, and effectively aids in cleansing by solubilizing and washing away fats and other soil particles from surfaces like skin.
