Description

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

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and bubble baths for generating rich, stable foam.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Key ingredient in liquid dish soaps, hard surface cleaners, and car wash formulations for effective degreasing and soil removal.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and detergent in scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as an anionic emulsifier 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 improve coverage and efficacy.
• Leather Processing: Functions as a degreasing and wetting agent in the tanning and finishing of leather.
