An amine oxides acts as a non-ionic surfactant in neutral and alkaline pH and cationic in acidic conditions, and is compatible with most other surfactants. Why use Libranox? The Libranox series can be applied to cleaning products, they perform as excellent detergents, as well as providing excellent foam boosting and foam stabilising properties. They are often used to provide viscosity and strong cleaning powers (grease emulsification and soil suspension) and are extensively used with both sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide to produce bleach based products. The series produces a dense, stable foam which can used in the formulation of high alkalinity cleaning compounds. It is used in industrial cleaning, once the product is sprayed on to contaminated equipment the amine oxide allows for excellent adhesion to the surface, providing an extended dwell time as required. The Libranox series can also be applied in personal care products, (shampoos, bath care and showers gels), as the product provides excellent thickening, emollient and emulsifying properties. Libranox applications: Bubble baths Hair conditioners & shampoos Dishwasher detergents Laundry detergents All purpose cleaning agents Liquid Bleach products Foam stabilisers in rubber and polymer industries High or low foaming capabilities Why choose Libra Speciality Chemicals to manufacture your Libranox products?

For example, when used in combination with anionic sodium lauryl ether sulphate (SLES) it increases it’s detergency effect. The product has a low residual hydrogen peroxide, less than 800ppm, whilst the industry norm is 1500ppm. The finished product has a crystal clear ‘water white’ appearance, ensuring no need for additional colorant in the finished formulation.
