Extremely mild to skin and eyes. Completely non-irritating to skin at 10% and to eyes at 5%. Good lubricity and slip in extrusion operations It adds no diethanolamine to the formulation. Viscosity booster, with excellent thickening properties. Good foam stabilizer. Provides for good, smooth after-feel, indicating it has conditioning properties. Light color and no odor. Pourable at low temperatures because of its free-flowing form. Helps in dis-solution of tablets and blocks. Provides lubricity in tableting operations.
COMPOUNDING SUGGESTION Cola®Mid CMA-S can be dissolved with the use of heat in most commonly used personal care surfactants. It is more readily soluble in the lauryl sulfates (particularly ammonium lauryl sulfate and sodium lauryl ether sulfate) than in the amphoterics. Time to achieve solution may be reduced by the following: Add Cola®Mid CMA-S to the primary surfactant alone and stir until dissolved; then dilute with water. If the system becomes too thick, add only a portion of the water. Add a few percent SD alcohol or propylene glycol to the system.
