Calfoam® ES-302 is an anionic surfactant that provides luxurious, mild, and copious foam that is gentle to the skin and is perfect for personal care and HI&I formulations. Calfoam® ES-302 is a great flash foamer, creates very dense foam and performs well under a range of conditions in formulations when used alone or in combination with other surfactants. Calfoam® ES-302 has a high tolerance for pH increases and is relatively unaffected by changing water hardness, which enables many industrial cleaner formulations to benefit from using this surfactant. Calfoam® ES-302 is perfect for bubble bath, shampoo, shower gel, facial cleanser, liquid hand cleaner, fabric care, hand dish wash, and car care products.
