Description

Sodium 1-Octadecene-1-Sulphonate is a high-purity, anionic surfactant derived from octadecene. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties in demanding industrial formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and specialty chemical synthesis sectors seeking reliable performance and consistent quality.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary surfactant and foaming agent in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a wetting agent, penetrant, and leveling agent in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Industrial Cleaners & Detergents: Serves as a key component in heavy-duty liquid and powder detergents for its grease-cutting and emulsifying power.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic rubbers, plastics, and latex paints.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as a dispersant and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Leather Processing: Aids in the wetting and penetration of fats and dyes during tanning and finishing.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used as a dispersant for pigments and as a de-inking agent in recycling processes.

Quality Control

Our Sodium 1-Octadecene-1-Sulphonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and physical property verification, to ensure it meets precise specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, active matter content, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
