Why Inutec SL1?


Inutec SL1 (previously Inutec SP1) is a non-ionic, polymeric-based surfactant system derived from chicory inulin and dispersed in glycerin. It can be used as an emulsion stabiliser for o/w emulsions, as a dispersant for hydrophobic particles and in the production of foams. Inutec SL1 is:

Cost effective - because of its unique structure at the o/w interface, only partial coverage is required and Inutec SL1 is therefore effective at very low levels
Acts only on the interface - emulsions and dispersions stay highly fluid
Is effective at 'fixing' emulsion stability problems
Able to enhance the delivery of actives
Able to emulsify up to 50-60% oil content in low viscosity systems
Effective in the presence of high levels of electrolytes - emulsification of seawater possible
Gives stability from coalescence
Widely used in suncare to help aid skin feel
Makes hair waxes less greasy
