Description

Natriumalkyl(C8-C20)-Sulfate is a high-purity anionic surfactant belonging to the sodium alkyl sulfate family. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing sectors seeking reliable and consistent performance.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and hand soaps for its rich lather and mild cleansing action.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Key ingredient in liquid dish soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and industrial degreasers for effective soil removal and foam stability.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and scouring aid in fabric preparation and dyeing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic rubbers, latex paints, and polymer dispersions.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as a wetting and spreading agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance coverage and efficacy.
• Leather Processing: Functions as a degreasing and wetting agent in the tanning and finishing of leather goods.
