Description

Sodium n-Heptyl Sulphate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from n-heptanol. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, foaming, and emulsifying properties in aqueous systems. It serves as a critical intermediate and performance additive for manufacturers in the personal care, textile, and specialty chemical industries. Consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount for its effective use in formulation and synthesis.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier: A key ingredient in the formulation of industrial and institutional cleaning products, where it provides effective wetting and soil suspension.
• Textile Processing Aid: Used in wetting and scouring baths to ensure uniform penetration of dyes and chemicals into fibers.
• Personal Care Formulations: Employed in the development of specialized shampoos, body washes, and other cleansing products requiring mild yet effective surfactants.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a building block for the synthesis of more complex sulfate-based surfactants and specialty chemicals.
• Laboratory Research: Utilized as a model compound or standard in surfactant chemistry studies and analytical method development.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Can be incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adherence on plant surfaces.

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); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and performance.
