EMPILAN® PF 7165 is a low foaming alkoxylated alcohol surfactant that produces a relatively unstable foam, rapidly breaking down which makes it suitable for formulations requiring low foaming characteristics. As EMPILAN PF 7165 satisfies biodegradability criteria, it can be used in products where environmental sustainability is important. Its compatibility with various agents allows formulating with other surfactants for a variety of personal care needs. EMPILAN PF 7165 handles contamination risks well and maintains stability for at least 24 months in properly sealed containers, retaining quality for the expected shelf life of personal care items.
