Description

Disodium Hexadec-1-Enedisulphonate is a high-purity, anionic surfactant and specialty chemical intermediate. Its unique molecular structure provides excellent wetting, dispersing, and emulsifying properties, making it a critical component in advanced formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and industrial cleaning 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 for its mildness and rich lather.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a wetting agent, leveling agent, and dispersant in dyeing and finishing processes to ensure uniform color and fabric treatment.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: A key ingredient in high-performance detergent formulations for hard surface cleaners and industrial degreasers.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes, acrylics, and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR).
• Agricultural Formulations: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides on plant surfaces.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) formulations as a surfactant and viscosity modifier.

Quality Control

Our Disodium Hexadec-1-Enedisulphonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, composition, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each 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 room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
