Description

Sodium n-Tridecyl Sulphate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from a linear C13 alcohol chain. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties, particularly in demanding formulations where performance stability is critical. It serves as a key ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing sectors seeking reliable and consistent raw material quality.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps for its mildness and rich lather.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and alkaline cleaning systems.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent and emulsifier in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes and polymers.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Metal Working Fluids: Acts as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in coolants and drawing compounds.

Quality Control

Our Sodium n-Tridecyl Sulphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for active matter, sulfate content, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and physical parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your formulation requirements.

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); containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance.
