Description

Sodium Decyl Sulfate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from decyl alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, foaming, and emulsifying properties in aqueous systems. It serves as a critical raw material for formulators in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries, where consistent performance and reliable supply are paramount.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mild cleansing and foaming characteristics.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: An effective component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and alkaline cleaning formulations for hard surfaces.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, penetrant, and emulsifier in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as an anionic emulsifier in the synthesis of latex polymers for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Laboratory & Research: Employed in biochemical research as a detergent for cell lysis and protein solubilization.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Decyl Sulfate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, composition, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your formulation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
