Description

Sodium 2-(Palmitoyloxy)Ethane-1-Sulphonate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from palmitic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and foaming properties, making it a critical performance ingredient in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors who require a mild yet effective surfactant with good skin compatibility.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A key surfactant in facial cleansers, body washes, shampoos, and shaving foams for its mildness and rich lather.
• Skin Care Formulations: Used in cleansing milks, makeup removers, and micellar waters due to its effective yet gentle cleansing action.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: An effective component in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and vehicle wash formulations.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and detergent in scouring and finishing baths.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an anionic emulsifier in the production of synthetic latexes and polymers.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and penetration of agrochemicals on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our Sodium 2-(Palmitoyloxy)Ethane-1-Sulphonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for purity, composition, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, fatty acid profile, and moisture content are provided to guarantee consistent quality and traceability for your formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
