Description

Sodium Laureth-2 Phosphate is a high-purity, anionic surfactant derived from ethoxylated lauryl alcohol. This specialized phosphate ester is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in demanding formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing sectors seeking mild yet effective performance.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary surfactant and emulsifier in mild shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and bath products, offering rich lather and skin compatibility.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, alkaline cleaners, and metalworking fluids for its superior wetting and emulsification of oils and fats.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a scouring agent, lubricant, and antistatic agent in fiber and fabric treatment processes.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance stability and application efficiency.
• Paints & Coatings: Serves as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid, improving color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Utilized as a surfactant in the production of latexes, acrylics, and other polymer emulsions.
