Description

2-Ethylhexysulphate is an anionic surfactant and organic sulfate ester, widely recognized for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties. Its value lies in its ability to enhance performance in formulations requiring stable emulsions and effective surface tension reduction. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, and personal care industries, where it serves as a key intermediate and functional additive. For precise identification, the CAS number is 56008-29-8.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a primary emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Textile Processing: Used as a leveling agent, dye dispersant, and wetting agent in fabric treatment baths.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in products like shampoos, body washes, and creams.
• Industrial Cleaners & Detergents: Provides superior cleaning and foaming properties in institutional and industrial cleaning formulations.
• Polymerization: Serves as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization processes for synthetic rubber and latex production.
• Leather Processing: Utilized as a wetting and penetrating agent in tanning and finishing operations.

Quality Control

Our 2-Ethylhexysulphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. We provide comprehensive quality documentation, including detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) for each shipment, which verify key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and purity. Our commitment to quality assurance supports your compliance needs for industrial and specialty chemical 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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and performance.
