Description

Sulfuric Acid, Mono-C10-16-Alkyl Esters, Compds. With Triethanolamine is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant derived from the reaction of sulfuric acid monoesters of C10-16 alcohols with triethanolamine. This compound matters for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a critical performance additive in demanding industrial formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors who require a reliable, consistent, and effective surfactant base.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, providing rich lather and mild cleansing.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in fiber preparation, dyeing, and finishing baths to ensure even dye penetration and processing.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as a key component in pesticide and herbicide emulsions, enhancing the spreading and adhesion of active ingredients on plant surfaces.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Formulated into heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor cleaners for its superior grease-cutting and emulsifying power.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability in water-based coatings.
• Leather Processing: Employed in beamhouse operations and fatliquoring for its emulsifying properties, aiding in the uniform treatment of hides.
