SURFACTANT COMPOSITION

摘要

The present invention provides a surfactant composition containing a polyglycerol alkyl ether which is capable of exhibiting a high emulsification performance for silicone oils compounded in cosmetics, detergents, etc., by using a natural alcohol derived from oils and fats as a raw material thereof, a process for producing the surfactant composition in an effective manner, and a use of the surfactant composition. The present invention relates to [1] a surfactant composition including a specific polyglycerol monoalkyl ether (1) and a specific polyglycerol dialkyl ether (2), a mass ratio of [(1)/(2)] being from 65/35 to 75/25; [2] a process for producing the surfactant composition; [3] an emulsifier composition including the surfactant composition; and [4] a detergent composition including the surfactant composition.

1. A surfactant composition comprising a compound represented by the formula (1) and a compound represented by the formula (2), a mass ratio of the compound represented by the formula (1) to the compound represented by the formula (2) [(1)/(2)] being from 65/35 to 75/25: wherein R1 is a linear alkyl group having 10 to 14 carbon atoms; [C3H6O2] is a glycerol unit; n represents an average polymerization degree of [C3H6O2], and is a number of from 2.3 to 10; and a total content of a triglycerol monoalkyl ether, a tetraglycerol monoalkyl ether and a pentaglycerol monoalkyl ether in the compound represented by the formula (1) is 75% by mass or more; and wherein two R2 groups are each independently a linear alkyl group having 10 to 14 carbon atoms; [C3H6O2] is a glycerol unit; and m represents an average polymerization degree of [C3H6O2], and is a number of from 1 to 10.
