Rokanol T20PF, Ethoxylated cetostearyl alcohol of pharmaceutical quality (Ph. Eur.) Macrogol cetostearyl ether, IBC 1000 kg

ROKAnol T20PF meets the stringent quality requirements set out in the Pharmacy Code, collected and published in the latest edition of the European Pharmacopoeia. Thanks to this, this product can be classified into the Macrogol Cetostearyl Ether group.
ROKAnol T20PF, due to the degree of ethoxylation of cetostrearyl alcohol, has a strong hydrophilic character, which makes it perfect for creating stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. Due to the very good emulsifying properties, ROKAnol T20PF can be used in the process of obtaining an emulsion at room temperature. This is important when using active substances that are particularly sensitive to high temperatures, which are a frequent component of many emulsions. On the other hand, the excellent dispersing and stabilizing properties of ROKAnol T20PF are important when creating stable formulations in which the active substance is present in a solid form, such as in ointments. Good dispersion of the active substance in the product enables its even distribution on the skin. This ability of ROKAnol T20PF is used when creating dressings in the form of a spray.
