Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Sulfo-.Omega.-(Tridecyloxy)-, Sodium Salt is a high-purity, anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl ether sulfate class. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties, making it a critical performance additive in demanding formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing sectors who require reliable, consistent surfactant performance.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its rich lather and mildness.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and detergent formulations for superior wetting and soil removal.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in fiber treatment and dyeing baths.
• 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 Working Fluids: Acts as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in coolants and drawing compounds.
