Description

Calcium Dodecyl Sulfate is an anionic surfactant derived from lauryl alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and foaming properties in various industrial formulations. It is a key ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and construction chemical industries seeking stable and effective surfactant systems.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary surfactant and foaming agent in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve spray coverage and efficacy.
• Construction Chemicals: Serves as an air-entraining agent and plasticizer in cement and concrete admixtures to improve workability and freeze-thaw resistance.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a scouring and wetting agent in fabric preparation and dyeing processes.
• Industrial Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and institutional cleaning products for its detergency.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Employed as an emulsifier in the production of synthetic rubbers, latex paints, and polymer dispersions.
