Description

Sodium 2-[Methyl(1-Oxohexadecyl)Amino]Ethanesulphonate is a high-purity anionic surfactant and specialty chemical intermediate. This compound is valued for its excellent surface-active properties, stability, and compatibility in complex formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries for its role as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and dispersant.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for mild cleansing and rich lather.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key wetting and dispersing agent in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface detergents.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Employed in scouring, dyeing, and finishing processes to improve dye leveling, penetration, and fabric softness.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as a stabilizer and emulsifier in the production of acrylic, vinyl acetate, and styrene-butadiene latexes.
• Agricultural Formulations: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides on plant surfaces.
• Leather Processing: Used in soaking, degreasing, and fatliquoring stages to improve process efficiency and leather quality.
