Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Sulfo-.Omega.-(Decyloxy)-, Ammonium Salt is a high-performance, non-ionic/anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl ether sulfate family. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties, making it a critical component in formulations requiring stability and performance across a wide pH range. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries seeking reliable and effective surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Key surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps for its rich lather and mildness.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and detergent formulations for superior wetting and soil removal.
• Textile Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and dye leveling assistant in fiber treatment and dye baths.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of acrylic, vinyl acetate, and styrene-butadiene lattices.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Paint & Coatings: Functions as a dispersing and wetting agent to improve pigment incorporation and stability in water-based systems.

Quality Control

Our Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Sulfo-.Omega.-(Decyloxy)-, Ammonium Salt is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent performance and meets specifications for critical parameters such as active matter content, sulfate ash, pH, and color. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results 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, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may affect product performance.
