Description

Sodium 2-Hydroxydodecane-1-Sulphonate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from a long-chain fatty alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries seeking reliable performance and consistent quality.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mildness and rich lather.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key wetting and emulsifying agent in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metalworking fluids.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Employed in scouring, dyeing, and finishing processes to improve penetration and leveling of dyes and chemicals.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes and polymers.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in formulations for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and as a component in drilling muds.
