Discover the unexpected... Hamposyl Surfactants. Unexpected Gentleness If you've been thinking that all Most rich-lathering surfactants surfactants are basically the same, dry the skin excessively but not the you haven't tried the Hamposyl® Hamposyl Sarcosinates; they're mild Sarcosine Surfactants—the surfac and gentle.

So, it's possible to make a creme-rinse that can also be used as a shampoo or a rich-lather ing germicidal scrub soap. Or a fine fabric wash containing a built-in fabric softener. Unexpected Substantivity Hamposyl Sarcosine Surfactants are also attracted to a wide variety of surfaces—from ΐ metals to polyamide fibers to hair and skin. Strong ab- ^£&i sorptive properties mean i they can be deposited on surfaces to provide lubricity, corrosion inhibition, anti-static activity, mold release properties, pleasant skin feel, improved comb ing, and mild conditioning. Think of the possibilities—a new corro sion resistant coating, a radicallydifferent approach to plastic mold release agents, a softening and conditioning skin cleanser—all you need are the Hamposyl Surfactants mixed with your imagination.

or as the convenient sodium salt form. With the Hamposyl Surfac tants, you get choices. If you want the tridecylamine or lithium salt, it's easily made in your formulation. That means new kinds of textile spin finishes for wetting, lubricating and providing antistatic properties to the fiber. Or a new organic-soluble cor rosion inhibitor for protecting metal surfaces against salt water. Unexpected Properties Need a few new ideas? Looking for your next product breakthrough? Consider these unusual and unex pected properties of the Hamposyl Sarcosine Surfactants: they inhibit corrosion of metals quite well and are used in a wide variety of prod ucts from lubricating oils to aerosol packages. They selectively dissolve the inner cell wall of Gram-neg ative bacteria to aid in the isolation of important biotech nology products present in the remaining outer cell wall mem brane of genetically transformed bacteria. They also lather better than most other anionics even in hard water. They foam well in the pres ence of ionic materials like salt, too—something that most anionics don't do. So, what does this mean to you? New ways of doing things, new formulations, new processes —all because you tried Hamposyl Sarcosine Surfactants. Call us today for a copy of our new, 1990 edition, fact-packed, Hamposyl Surfactant brochure. We're full of surprises.
