Description

Sodium 1-Hexadecyl Sulphonatoacetate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from fatty alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a versatile performance additive. It is primarily used in the formulation of industrial and institutional cleaners, personal care products, and textile processing aids where mildness and stability are required.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a primary surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metalworking fluids for superior emulsification.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a mild foaming and cleansing agent in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Textile Processing: Serves as an effective wetting agent, dispersant, and emulsifier in scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and wetting on plant surfaces.
• Leather Processing: Functions as a penetrant and fatliquoring agent in the tanning and finishing of leather.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Utilized as a dispersant for pigments and as a deinking agent in paper recycling processes.

Quality Control

Our Sodium 1-Hexadecyl Sulphonatoacetate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and pH are provided to guarantee consistent quality and batch-to-batch reliability for your formulations.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product performance.
