MASURF G-2C is a 100% active Glycereth-2 Cocoate. MASURF G-2C is uniquely
non-irritating, readily biodegradable and eco-tox friendly. With it's
unique thickening, foam boosting and stabilizing, solubilizing and
emollient properties, G-2C is a superior product for use in wide range
of products including: shampoos, mild skin cleaners, soap and shave
gels, skin lotions and bath oils.
With over 35 years Specialty Chemicals manufacturing experience and
using the highest quality raw materials, MASURF G-2C is characteristically
low color, low odor and reliably consistent batch to batch for the
Personal Care Market.
MASURF G-2C is based on the renewable vegetable components found in
coconut oil, making it a uniquely natural compliment for use in Personal
Care products as a multi-functional replacement for Cocamide DEA while
being diethanolamine and nitrosamine free. In other applications,
use MASURF G-2C as a nonionic emulsifier, foam booster and stabilizer,
and convenient and efficient thickener. Also
available in this product series: MASURF G-7C (Glycereth-7 Cocoate)
and MASURF G-17C (Glycereth-17 Cocoate).
INCI Name: Glycereth-2 Cocoate
CAS#: 68201-46-7

As a replacement for Cocamide DEA, MASURF G-2C is an ethoxylated fatty
acid monoglyceride based on the renewable vegetable components found
in coconut oil. As a nonionic surfactant, G-2C is compatible with
anionic, amphoteric, cationic and nonionic surfactants, is not affected
by hard water and is stable in aqueous solutions in the pH range of
4-8. Derived from renewable resource coconut oil monoglycerides, MASURF
G-2C is readily biodegradable (Sturm), exhibits low aquatic toxicology
(LC50 >10mg/L, 96 hrs), is non-irritating, both dermal (Draize, Rabbit,
4hrs.) and ocular (Draize, Rabbit, 4hrs.), and non-sensitizing (CCET,
Guinea Pigs). Based on naturally derived glycerine, MASURF G-2C is
an excellent emollient and moisturizer when used in Skin Care formulations.
Use MASURF G-2C as a superior thickening agent in both alkyl ether
sulfate (AES) and non-AES formulations. When incorporating G-2C into
AES formulations, foam is not limited as with Cocamide DEA, and viscosity
builds quickly without salt. In non-AES formulations, such as extra-mild
skin cleaners, MASURF G-2C is superior to nonionic polymeric thickeners,
such as PEG-150 Distearate or PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate,
through ease of use and non-tacky skin feel.
In other applications, MASURF G-2C is an effective emulsifier in O/W
systems such as silicones and paraffinic oils, with an HLB of 11.
MASURF G-2C, when formulated into conditioning shampoos, is a very
effective thickening and stabilizing agent, as the formulation below
