Description

Polyethylene Glycols Hexadecyl Ether Mono(Hydrogen Sulfate), Sodium Salt is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from ethoxylated cetyl alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial cleaning sectors who require consistent performance and reliable supply chain partners.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, providing rich lather and mildness.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an excipient in topical creams, ointments, and medicated shampoos for its solubilizing and stabilizing effects.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and textile processing aids.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of acrylic, vinyl acetate, and styrene-butadiene latexes.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Utilized as a wetting agent and dye leveling assistant in various treatment baths.
