DeTHOX™ LS-3 is a 3-mole ethoxylate of lauryl alcohol, an oil-soluble nonionic surfactant compatible with most anionic, nonionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants. It is widely used in home, personal care, and industrial formulations, serving as an emulsifier, thickener in anionic formulations, solubilizer, and fat/oil dispersant. Additionally, DeTHOX™ LS-3 functions as a rheology modifier in personal care and crop protection products and is also used as an intermediate in the production of anionic surfactants.
