Description

Sodium Oleth Sulfate is a high-performance anionic surfactant derived from oleyl alcohol ethoxylates. This versatile compound is prized for its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties, even in the presence of hard water and electrolytes. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective and mild cleansing agents. Sodium Oleth Sulfate CAS NO 27233-34-7 offers a reliable balance of performance and skin compatibility.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and bubble baths, valued for its rich lather and mildness.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Key component in liquid dish soaps, hard surface cleaners, and all-purpose cleaners for superior grease cutting and foam stability.
• Industrial & Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant in textile scouring, metal cleaning, and agrochemical formulations.
• Cosmetic & Toiletry Products: Employed in shaving creams, hand soaps, and other foaming products where a stable, creamy lather is desired.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Acts as a surfactant in chemical flooding processes to reduce interfacial tension and improve oil displacement.
