Description

(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Dodecylsulphate is an anionic surfactant derived from lauryl alcohol, combining the cleaning power of a sulfate with the mildness and solubility imparted by the ethanolamine moiety. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, emulsifying, and wetting properties, making it a versatile ingredient in formulations requiring high performance and skin compatibility. Key industries that utilize this surfactant include personal care, industrial & institutional cleaning, and textile processing, where reliable and consistent raw material quality is paramount for end-product efficacy.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Primary surfactant in mild shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and shaving foams where gentle yet effective cleansing is required.
• Household & I&I Cleaning: Key foaming and cleaning agent in liquid dish soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and floor care products for industrial and institutional use.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Used as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and leveling agent in dyeing baths and finishing formulations.
• Industrial Emulsification: Serves as an emulsifier for polymerization processes and in the formulation of agricultural adjuvants and pesticide emulsions.
• Metal Working Fluids: Acts as a lubricity additive and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants.

Quality Control

Our (2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Dodecylsulphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for active matter content, pH, and impurity profiles, guaranteeing performance consistency for your formulations. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and key physical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

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