Description

Ammonium Oleyl Sulphate is an anionic surfactant derived from oleic acid, valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties. This compound is particularly significant for its mildness and compatibility, making it a versatile ingredient in formulations requiring gentle yet effective surface activity. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, biodegradable components.

Application

• Personal Care Products: Acts as a primary surfactant in mild shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers due to its gentle nature on skin and hair.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and softener in fabric scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key foaming and degreasing agent in hard surface cleaners, vehicle washes, and floor care products.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier in the production of synthetic latexes for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as a dispersant and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve spray coverage.
• Leather Processing: Used in fatliquoring and dyeing processes to improve the penetration and uniformity of treatment chemicals.
