Complete Surfactant Systems for Cleaning Excellence
Pharcos supplies the full spectrum of surfactants needed for household and industrial cleaning products. From primary cleansing agents and foam boosters to thickeners and pearlizing agents, our ingredients enable the formulation of high-performance cleaners, dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents, and industrial degreasers.

Application Areas
Shampoo & Body Wash
Cocamide DEA/MEA (Pharcos CDEA/CMEA) boost foam and build viscosity in SLS/SLES-based cleansing systems. Replace with Coco Betaine (Pharcos CB 30) for milder, sulfate-free systems.
Toilet Rim Blocks & Powder Detergents
Ceteareth-50 (Pharcos C 50) and Ceteareth-80 (Pharcos C 80) serves as the primary binder and solubilizer for solid rim block formulations. Use at 20-40% with perfume, dye, and acid/alkaline active.
Industrial Degreasers
Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylates (Pharcos NP), Lauryl Alcohol Ethoxylates (Pharcos L), C 9-11 Alcohol Ethoxylates (Pharcos NUA) and C 12-18 Alcohol Ethoxylates (Pharcos LS) provide heavy-duty degreasing for metalworking and manufacturing environments.
