Harcros Foamer HS

Harcros Foamer HS is a high-foaming amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids. It provides excellent foaming across a broad pH range and enhances foam quality in formulated systems. It remains soluble in soft water, hard water, brine, and concentrated electrolyte solutions without precipitating at isoelectric pH. When combined with alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl-benzene sulfonates, and soaps, Foamerâ„¢ HS synergistically improves foam stability.
