Description

Sodium Tetradecenesulfonate is an anionic surfactant derived from tetradecene, valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties. This compound is particularly significant for its effectiveness in hard water and across a wide pH range, making it a versatile and reliable component in demanding formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the detergent, personal care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, cost-effective surfactant solutions.

Application

• Primary surfactant or co-surfactant in liquid dishwashing detergents and hard surface cleaners.
• Emulsifying agent in the production of polymer emulsions and industrial lubricants.
• Key ingredient in personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, and shaving foams.
• Wetting and dispersing agent in agricultural formulations like pesticides and herbicides.
• Foam booster and stabilizer in textile processing and dyeing auxiliaries.
• Component in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) formulations due to its interfacial activity.
• Raw material for the synthesis of other specialty surfactants and sulfonated intermediates.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Tetradecenesulfonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and compliance with relevant industry specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as active matter content, unsulfonated matter, and salt content is provided with each shipment.

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); the container must be kept tightly sealed after initial use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or performance degradation.
