Discover the unexpected... Hamposyl Surfactants. If you've been thinking that all surfactants are basically the same, you haven't tried the Hamposyl" Sarcosine Surfactants—the surfac tants with a difference. Unexpected Compatibility Anionic surfactants are used for their excellent foaming and clean ing, but it's hard to formulate them with cationic materials like quat ernary ammonium germicides and conditioners. Not unless you use the Hamposyl Sarcosine Surfactants, that is. Hamposyl Anionic Surfactants show unexpected compatibility with cationics even in retaining their germicidal and conditioning prop erties when formulated together. And, you also get the great foaming and gentle cleaning properties of the sarcosinates. 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 4gf fine fabric wash containing a · built-in fabric softener. Unexpected Substantivity Hamposyl Sarcosine Surfactants are also attracted to a wide variety of surfaces—from metals to polyamide fibers to hair and skin. Strong ab sorptive properties mean 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.
Unexpected Gentleness Most rich-lathering surfactants dry the skin excessively but not the Hamposyl Sarcosinates; they're mild and gentle. And being made from natural fatty acids and an amino acid, sarcosine, they're also rapidly biodegradeable. They're kind to you and to the environment. That's a lot to expect but the Hamposyl Surfac tants offer you the unexpected. Unexpected Product Forms Most anionics come only in the sodium salt form. The Hamposyl Sarcosine Surfactants are available in both the free acid form for direct use or in-situ neutralization with amines and other bases in corrosion inhibitors or antistat and mold release formulations ^^< v
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.
