Description

Disodium 2-Sulphonatopalmitate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from palmitic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in demanding formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing sectors seeking reliable performance and consistent quality.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for gentle yet effective cleansing.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metalworking fluids for its superior wetting and soil suspension capabilities.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Serves as a key component in scouring agents, dyeing assistants, and finishing chemicals to ensure even processing and high-quality fabric.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance spray coverage and active ingredient dispersion.
• Leather Processing: Used in fatliquoring and dyeing processes to improve the softness and uniformity of leather goods.
