Description

Heptadecyl Sodium Sulfate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from a C17 fatty alcohol chain. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in demanding formulations. It serves as a critical performance additive for industrial manufacturers, particularly in the production of specialized detergents, textile auxiliaries, and emulsion polymerization processes.

Application

• Specialty Detergent & Cleaner Formulations: Acts as a primary surfactant in industrial and institutional cleaning products, offering superior grease-cutting power.
• Textile Processing Auxiliary: Used as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and leveling agent in dyeing and finishing operations.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the synthesis of synthetic rubbers, plastics, and latex.
• Leather Processing: Functions as a fatliquoring and wetting agent to improve the softness and uniformity of leather.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Metal Working Fluids: Used as an emulsifier in coolants and drawing compounds to improve lubrication and stability.
• Personal Care (Rinse-off products): Can be utilized as a foaming and cleansing agent in specialized industrial skin cleansers.

Quality Control

Our Heptadecyl Sodium Sulfate 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 key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and inorganic salt levels are provided to guarantee consistency and traceability for your B2B applications.

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). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
