Description

Pentadecyl Sodium Sulfate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from pentadecanol, offering excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties. Its value lies in its ability to function effectively in demanding formulations, providing stable performance across a range of pH levels and temperatures. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing sectors seeking reliable and efficient surface-active agents.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a primary surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metalworking fluids for superior soil removal and emulsification.
• Personal Care Formulations: Used in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mild cleansing and rich foaming characteristics.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in fiber treatment, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and penetration of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Research & Development: Employed as a standard or reagent in biochemical and chemical research involving surfactants and micelle formation.

Quality Control

Our Pentadecyl Sodium Sulfate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and sulfate content is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your B2B applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
