Description

Sodium3-Hydroxy-1-Octadecanesulphonate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from octadecanol. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties, making it a critical performance additive in demanding formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries who require reliable and consistent raw material performance.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary surfactant and emulsifier in creams, lotions, and high-viscosity cleansing products.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Provides powerful wetting and soil suspension in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care formulations.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring agent, dyeing assistant, and softener base to improve fiber processing and finish quality.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes, such as acrylics and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR).
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Leather Processing: Functions as a fatliquoring agent and emulsifier in leather tanning and finishing operations.
