Description

Sodium 2-(Hexyloxy)Ethyl Sulphate is a high-purity anionic surfactant and specialty chemical intermediate. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties in aqueous systems. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of industrial and institutional cleaners, textile auxiliaries, and personal care products where mildness and performance are required.

Application

• Surfactant in Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a primary wetting agent and emulsifier in heavy-duty floor cleaners, degreasers, and alkaline formulations.
• Textile Processing Auxiliary: Used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths to improve wetting and level dyeing on synthetic and natural fibers.
• Personal Care Formulations: Serves as a mild surfactant and foaming agent in shampoos, body washes, and other rinse-off products.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of acrylic, vinyl acetate, and styrene-butadiene latexes.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Metal Working Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and drawing compounds.
