Cola®Teric LHS (ME)

Fatty Alkyl Sultaine Amphoteric

Cola®Teric LHS (ME) is a fatty alkyl amphoteric surfactant in the sultaine class. Cola®Teric LHS (ME) is a high foaming, biodegradable surfactant that is compatible with virtually all other surfactants. It demonstrates excellent stability in both extreme acid and alkaline formulations and very stable in both acid and alkali formulations and can be solubilized at 2-3% in 30- 40% caustic soda solutions. Cola®Teric LHS (ME) is a unique foaming surfactant successfully used in sulfate-free and PEG-free formulations in industrial, household and hair & body care applications.

Benefits

  • Offers mildness in combination with anionic surfactants and soaps
  • Clear solutions with excellent foaming and wetting characteristics can be obtained.
  • Combined effects of increased foam and stability with alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl-benzene sulfonates and soaps
  • Viscosity builder when formulated with anionic surfactants for liquid soaps and shampoos
  • Outstanding performance in high concentrations of mineral acids
  • Highest biobased content of the sultaines offered

Applications

  • Shampoos
  • Liquid Soaps
  • Acid Cleaners
  • Metal cleaning
  • Bottle washing concentrates
  • Heavy duty steam cleaning
  • Wax stripping
  • Wetting agent in the acid pickling of metals and as a detergent in acid cleaners with scale and lime soap dispersing properties
INCI: Lauryl Hydroxysultaine

Palm Oil

Colonial Chemical, Inc. practices good conservation of soil, water, forests, minerals, grasslands, wildlife, and energy, and we urge others to do the same.

We believe that palm products (any product or ingredient derived from oil palms, including palm oil, palm kernels, palm kernel oil, palm kernel expeller, and their fractions and derivatives) should come from sustainable plantations that actively conserve rainforests and peatlands. To support this, Colonial Chemical, Inc. fully endorses the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) authorized supply chain system for sustainable palm oil producers.

We will procure goods from suppliers certified as RSPO members when raw materials may contain palm products. RSPO-certified production units have been independently audited to ensure compliance with strict social and environmental responsibility guidelines and sustainable palm oil production criteria.

Animal Testing

Colonial Chemical, Inc. conducts tests on raw materials and finished products to ensure consumer safety, product effectiveness, and regulatory compliance through approved and validated methods.

We are committed to reducing or eliminating animal testing and aim to refine, reduce, and eventually replace laboratory animals in our testing processes. We gather data using efficient protocols, extensive database modeling, and in vitro assays (conducted with cultured cells, cell fractions, or bacteria) whenever possible. We will never test our products on animals for cosmetic data generation.

Animal testing will only be commissioned if required by government regulations and when all alternative methods have been exhausted. This testing will be conducted through independent, accredited laboratories that adhere to strict international animal care regulations, ensuring minimal discomfort without compromising study efficacy.

Our products are registered with REACH (EU), NICNAS (Australia), DSL (Canada), and TSCA (U.S.), all of which endorse alternative animal testing methods.
