Description

Sodium (2-Hexyldecyl) Sulphate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from a branched-chain fatty alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties, particularly in demanding formulations where stability and performance are critical. It serves as a key ingredient for industrial manufacturers and R&D laboratories in sectors such as specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, and advanced material science.

Application

• Primary Surfactant in high-performance industrial and institutional cleaning formulations.
• Emulsifying Agent for agrochemicals, including pesticides and herbicides, to enhance stability and dispersion.
• Wetting and Dispersing Agent in coatings, inks, and pigment preparations.
• Foam Stabilizer in specialized foaming applications within the construction and textile industries.
• Intermediate for the synthesis of more complex specialty surfactants and personal care ingredients.
• Research & Development applications in academic and industrial labs studying surfactant behavior and novel formulations.

Quality Control

Our Sodium (2-Hexyldecyl) Sulphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available for every shipment upon request, providing full traceability and quality assurance for your production processes.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
