Description

Sodium 2-Hydroxydecanesulphonate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from decane. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties, particularly in challenging formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing sectors seeking reliable performance and consistent quality. Our product is supplied to meet the stringent demands of global B2B customers.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mildness and rich lather.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: An effective component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metal cleaning formulations.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Serves as a wetting agent, dispersant, and levelling agent in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as an 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: Employed in drilling muds and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) formulations for its surfactant properties.
