Description

Decyl Methane Sulfate is an anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl sulfate family. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries seeking effective and versatile surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its rich lather and mild cleansing profile.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in formulations for hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and vehicle wash solutions due to its strong detergency.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and scouring aid in fiber treatment and fabric preparation.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an anionic emulsifier in the production of synthetic latexes for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and penetration of agrochemicals on plant surfaces.
• Metal Working Fluids: Acts as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in coolants and drawing compounds.
