Description

Sodium 1-Methyl 2-Sulphonatododecanoate is a high-purity, synthetic anionic surfactant derived from a branched fatty acid chain. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties, particularly in demanding formulations where stability and performance are critical. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries for creating high-performance specialty products.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for rich lather and mild cleansing.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, alkaline cleaners, and floor care products for superior wetting and soil emulsification.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and dye leveling agent in fabric preparation and dyeing baths.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier in the production of synthetic latexes for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Metal Working Fluids: Provides emulsification and lubrication in coolants and drawing compounds.

Quality Control

Our Sodium 1-Methyl 2-Sulphonatododecanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and compliance with relevant industry specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and quality assurance for your production processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or performance degradation.
