  The difference in the ingredients

  Posted by uncleuncle on August 29, 2017 at 2:19 pm

  Hello everybody!

  I reviewed a variety of materials and discussions about ceteareth -20, - 25, but the answer did not find one, and now I want to ask you for help. Can someone tell the difference between ceteareth 20 and ceteareth 25?  And what is better to use in waterbase pomade?

  Ceteareth 25 is more waxy because of higher eo content and will add viscosity and rheology  control compared to 20.Both are good oil/water emulsifiers with similar HLb values of 15.2 for 20 and 16.3 for 25.You can also blend them if desired to tailor the foregoing properties.In a water based pomade i would lean to 25.
