Description

(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Octyl Sulphate is an anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl sulfate ester class, specifically the ethanolamine salt of octyl sulfuric acid. This compound is valued for its effective wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties in aqueous systems, offering a balance of mildness and performance. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of industrial and institutional cleaning products, personal care items, and specialized chemical processing aids where controlled surface activity is required.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a primary surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and alkaline cleaning formulations.
• Personal Care Products: Used as a mild foaming and cleansing agent in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting agent and emulsifier in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in soluble oil and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed as a wetting and spreading agent to enhance the efficacy of pesticides and herbicides.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Used as a co-emulsifier or surfactant in the production of latexes and polymer dispersions.
• Household Cleaners: A key ingredient in liquid dish soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface disinfectants.
