Description

Sodium 1-Methylnonyl Sulphate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from branched-chain fatty alcohols. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties, even in challenging conditions. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries seeking high-performance, biodegradable surfactant options.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps for its mildness and rich lather.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: An effective component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and vehicle wash formulations.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in fiber treatment and dyeing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes and polymers.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Household Detergents: Provides foaming and cleaning power in dishwashing liquids and all-purpose cleaners.
