RTD HC-40 is a high HLB surfactant (~13) produced through the ethoxylation of hydrogenated Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil. It is a nonionic oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier and solubilizer that is compatible with nonionic, cationic and anionic surfactants and is effective even in systems that are relatively highly salty, acidic or alkaline.

RTD HC-40 is an excellent solubilizer for perfume oils and may also be used as a co-emulsifier in the formulation of creams and lotions. It can also enhance the gelling properties of select low HLB emulsifiers utilized in the preparation of water-in-oil (W/O) ringing gel micro-emulsions. In addition, it functions as a light, water-soluble emollient and conditioner in shampoos, hair grooming products and skin cleansers.

RTD HC-40是一种高HLB表面活性剂（〜13），通过氢化蓖麻籽（蓖麻）籽油的乙氧基化产生。它是一种与非离子，阳离子和阴离子表面活性剂相容的非离子水包油（O / W）乳化剂和增溶剂，即使在相对高盐度，酸性或碱性的体系中也是有效的。 RTD HC-40是一种极好的香料油增溶剂，也可用作乳膏和乳液配方中的辅助乳化剂。它还可以提高用于制备油包水（W / O）振铃凝胶微乳液的选择低HLB乳化剂的胶凝性能。另外，它在洗发剂，头发美容产品和皮肤清洁剂中起着轻微的水溶性润肤剂和调理剂的作用。
