Description

Ammonium Decyl Sulphate is an anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl sulfate family, characterized by its ten-carbon alkyl chain. This compound is valued for its effective wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties in aqueous systems. It is a key ingredient for formulators in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries seeking a mild, biodegradable surfactant option.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its gentle cleansing and rich lather.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Acts as a wetting agent and degreaser in liquid soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface detergents.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring agent, wetting agent, and emulsifier in fabric preparation and dyeing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an anionic emulsifier in the synthesis of latex polymers for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a surfactant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adherence on plant surfaces.
