Description

Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate is an anionic surfactant derived from lauryl alcohol, valued for its excellent foaming, emulsifying, and cleansing properties. This compound is particularly significant for its role in creating stable, high-quality lather in aqueous systems while offering a gentler alternative to sodium-based sulfates. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective and reliable surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A primary foaming agent in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and shaving creams, providing a rich, stable lather.
• Oral Hygiene Products: Used as a surfactant in toothpastes and mouthwashes for effective cleaning and foam generation.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in heavy-duty detergents, floor cleaners, and car wash formulations due to its powerful degreasing and emulsifying action.
• Textile Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and detergent in scouring and finishing baths for fibers and fabrics.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an adjuvant and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve spray coverage and efficacy.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier in the production of synthetic rubbers, latex paints, and other polymer dispersions.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested against rigorous in-house specifications to ensure consistent performance, purity, and safety for its intended applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, sulfate content, and heavy metal limits are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 lead to caking or performance degradation.
