Description

Sodium (Z)-Octadec-9-Ene-1-Sulphonate is an anionic surfactant derived from oleic acid, known for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties. This compound is valued for its ability to reduce surface tension effectively, making it a key functional ingredient in demanding formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors where high-performance surfactants are required.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a primary surfactant or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mildness and rich lather.
• Textile Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and dye leveling agent in fabric scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners due to its strong emulsifying power.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an effective wetting and dispersing agent in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to improve spray coverage and efficacy.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as a stabilizer and emulsifier in the production of synthetic rubbers, latex paints, and polymer dispersions.
• Leather Processing: Employed in soaking, degreasing, and dyeing stages to improve penetration and uniformity.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may lead to caking or reduced performance.
