Description

Undecyl Sulfate is a versatile anionic surfactant derived from undecyl alcohol. This compound is valued for its effective wetting, foaming, and emulsifying properties in a variety of industrial formulations. It serves as a critical component for manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking reliable performance.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mild cleansing and foaming characteristics.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: An effective ingredient in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and vehicle wash formulations.
• Textile Processing: Functions 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: Employed in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Leather Processing: Used in soaking, degreasing, and fatliquoring stages for hides and skins.

Quality Control

Our Undecyl Sulfate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for assay, moisture content, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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); ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
