Description

1-Hexanol Sulfate is an anionic surfactant derived from hexanol, valued for its effective wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties. This compound is essential in formulations requiring a balance of surface activity and mildness, making it a versatile chemical intermediate. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and industrial cleaning sectors for its reliable performance.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary surfactant and foaming agent in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a wetting agent and emulsifier in fabric scouring, dyeing, and finishing processes.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metalworking fluids.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an emulsifier in the production of synthetic latexes for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as a wetting and spreading agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Leather Processing: Functions as a penetrant and fatliquoring agent in the tanning industry.
