Description

3,6,9,12-Tetraoxatetracosan-1-Ol, Hydrogen Sulfate, Sodium Salt is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant derivative belonging to the polyethylene glycol ether sulfate class. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties in complex formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile processing, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking reliable performance and batch-to-batch consistency.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent, dispersant, and penetrant in herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides to enhance foliar adhesion and efficacy.
• Textile Processing: Used as a leveling agent, detergent, and emulsifier in dyeing, scouring, and finishing operations for synthetic and natural fibers.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a primary surfactant in heavy-duty alkaline and acidic cleaning formulations for hard surface and metal cleaning.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Employed as a de-inking agent and dispersant to improve pulp processing and paper quality.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Utilized as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes, such as acrylics and styrene-butadiene.

Quality Control

Our 3,6,9,12-Tetraoxatetracosan-1-Ol, Hydrogen Sulfate, Sodium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for active matter content, sulfate content, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and key physical-chemical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at ambient temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product performance.
