Description

(2-Hydroxypropyl)Ammonium Decyl Sulphate is a specialized anionic surfactant derived from decyl alcohol and functionalized with a 2-hydroxypropylammonium counterion. This unique structure provides a balance of excellent surface activity, good solubility, and mildness, making it a valuable component in formulations requiring effective wetting and emulsification. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors for its performance in creating stable, high-quality products.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mild cleansing and foaming properties.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Acts as an effective wetting and emulsifying agent in liquid dish soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface degreasers.
• Industrial Emulsification: Employed in the preparation of polymer emulsions, agricultural adjuvants, and textile processing aids.
• Foam Stabilizer: Enhances and stabilizes foam in various foaming products and fire-fighting foams.
• Co-Formulation Agent: Compatible with other anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants to modify viscosity and improve overall formulation stability.
