Description

Tris(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Octyl Sulphate is a quaternary ammonium salt surfactant with a unique structure combining a triethanolamine cation and an octyl sulphate anion. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and antistatic properties, making it a versatile functional additive. It is primarily sought after by formulators in the personal care, textile processing, and specialty chemical industries for creating stable emulsions and enhancing surface activity.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners, providing a smooth texture and stable formulation.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a softening agent, antistatic agent, and dyeing assistant to improve fabric handle and processing efficiency.
• Industrial Emulsions: Serves as an effective emulsifier for polymerization processes and in the production of polishes, waxes, and coating formulations.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as a lubricity additive and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and cutting fluids.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Enhances the wetting and cleaning power of liquid detergents and hard surface cleaners.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spray droplet adhesion and spreading on plant surfaces.
