Description

Sodium C12-14 sec-Pareth-3 Sulfate is a high-performance anionic surfactant derived from secondary alcohol ethoxylates. This compound matters for its excellent wetting, foaming, and emulsifying properties, particularly in challenging formulations where stability and mildness are required. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, household, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective, versatile, and reliable surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mildness and rich lather.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: An effective component in liquid dish soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface cleaners for superior grease cutting and foam stability.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Employed in formulations for vehicle washes, floor cleaners, and food processing area sanitizers where high detergency is needed.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and scouring aid in dye baths and finishing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes, such as acrylics and styrene-butadiene.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our Sodium C12-14 sec-Pareth-3 Sulfate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency in key parameters such as active matter content, sulfate content, pH, and color. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance. Keep away from strong acids and organic solvents.
