Description

Monosodium C16-Alcohol Ethoxylated Sulfosuccinate is a high-performance, anionic-nonionic hybrid surfactant derived from ethoxylated cetyl alcohol. This compound is valued for its exceptional mildness, superior wetting properties, and excellent compatibility with other surfactant systems. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of personal care products, industrial cleaners, and textile processing aids where gentle yet effective surface activity is required.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A key ingredient in mild shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products due to its low irritation profile.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in formulations for hard surface cleaners, floor care products, and vehicle washes for its excellent wetting and emulsifying power.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, dispersant, and emulsifier in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as a surfactant in the production of latexes for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Used in drilling muds and enhanced oil recovery formulations for its surfactant properties.

Quality Control

Our Monosodium C16-Alcohol Ethoxylated Sulfosuccinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance and purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) upon request, detailing key parameters such as active matter content, pH, and moisture. Our production adheres to cGMP guidelines where applicable, ensuring reliability for sensitive applications.

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). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and strong acids. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
