Description

Ammonium Tetradecyl Sulphate is an anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl sulfate family. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, foaming, and emulsifying properties in aqueous systems. It is primarily utilized in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations, personal care products, and as a processing aid in various chemical syntheses. Its ammonium salt form offers good solubility and compatibility in a range of formulations.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and vehicle wash formulations for its powerful cleaning and foaming action.
• Personal Care Products: Used in shampoos, body washes, and bubble baths as a primary or secondary foaming agent and cleanser.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting agent and emulsifier in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths to ensure even processing.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an anionic emulsifier in the production of synthetic latexes, such as styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and acrylics.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Metal Working Fluids: Acts as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and coolants.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Tetradecyl Sulphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications, including assay, moisture content, and pH. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available for every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your requirements.

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); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
