Description

Sodium 2-Sulphoethyl Decanoate is an anionic surfactant derived from capric acid, featuring a sulfonate group that enhances its water solubility and surface-active properties. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming characteristics, making it a versatile ingredient in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and industrial cleaning sectors for its balanced performance and compatibility.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mildness and stable foam.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Serves as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and dyeing assistant in textile scouring, dyeing, and finishing processes.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: An effective component in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and detergent formulations for its oil-emulsifying power.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as a surfactant in the production of synthetic latexes, such as acrylics and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR).
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Leather Processing: Functions as a wetting and fatliquoring agent in the tanning and finishing of leather.

Quality Control

Our Sodium 2-Sulphoethyl Decanoate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and safety. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and impurity profile is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

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); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
