ELTESOL SX 40 is an aqueous solution of sodium xylene sulphonate. As a hydrotrope, ELTESOL SX 40 can increase the solubility of other compounds which allows it to be used in formulations requiring multiple ingredients to dissolve. Its ability to raise the cloud point of solutions enables it to provide additional temperature stability and control of foaming characteristics in products. ELTESOL SX 40 can also be used to reduce the viscosity of concentrated formulations, allowing for easier blending. Some key benefits of ELTESOL SX 40 in personal care products include its solubilization properties which expand formulation options, ability to maintain product consistency across a range of temperatures, and facilitation of smooth, non-foaming textures.
