Description

Tetradecanoic Acid, 2-Sulfo-, Disodium Salt is a high-purity, water-soluble anionic surfactant derived from myristic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in demanding industrial formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and specialty chemical industries seeking consistent performance and reliable supply.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for gentle yet effective cleansing.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a wetting agent, dispersant, and leveling agent in dyeing and finishing processes to ensure uniform color and fabric treatment.
• Industrial Cleaners & Detergents: Serves as a key component in heavy-duty and institutional cleaning formulations for its degreasing and soil suspension capabilities.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as a stabilizer and emulsifier in the production of synthetic latexes, acrylics, and other polymer dispersions.
• Leather Processing: Employed in fatliquoring and dyeing stages to improve the penetration and uniformity of treatment chemicals.
• Agricultural Formulations: Used as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide sprays to enhance wetting, spreading, and adhesion on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our Tetradecanoic Acid, 2-Sulfo-, Disodium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, composition, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
