MIXED POLYALKYLENE GLYCOL HYDROXYALKYL ISOSTEARAMIDES AS RHEOLOGY ADJUVANTS

摘要

Adjuvant surfactant compositions for beneficially modifying the properties, particularly rheological properties, of surfactant systems are provided. The surfactant compositions, which include at least one primary surfactant and can be substantially free of monoethanolamines, diethanolamines, and diethanolamides include alkoxylated hydroxyalkyl isostearamide which is substantially a liquid at room temperature. The isostearamide composition may also include a second surfactant. Methods of preparation and uses are also disclosed.
