Description

Sodium 1-Methyl 2-Sulphonatotetradecanoate is a high-purity, synthetic anionic surfactant derived from a branched-chain fatty acid. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties, making it a critical performance additive in demanding formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries seeking superior surface activity and stability.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: 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, floor cleaners, and detergent formulations for its powerful wetting and emulsification of oils.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and dye leveling agent in fabric preparation and dyeing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes, paints, and coatings.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and enhanced oil recovery formulations for its surfactant properties.

Quality Control

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

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
