Description

α-Sulfo-ω-(Octyloxy)-Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl) Ammonium Salt is a high-performance anionic-nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alkyl ether sulfates. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties, particularly in challenging formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing sectors who require stable, high-efficiency surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps for its rich lather and mildness.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and alkaline formulations for its stability and detergency.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Employed in scouring, dyeing, and finishing processes as a wetting and leveling agent.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of acrylic, vinyl acetate, and styrene-butadiene latexes.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Metal Processing Fluids: Functions as a lubricant and emulsifier in cutting oils and rolling emulsions.
