Description

Ammonium 2-[2-[2-(Hexadecyloxy)Ethoxy]Ethoxy]Ethyl Sulphate is a high-purity, non-ionic to anionic surfactant intermediate, valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties. This compound is critical for formulators seeking to enhance the performance and stability of complex chemical systems. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a key emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, providing stable oil-in-water emulsions.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a wetting agent, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve efficacy and spray coverage.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a leveling agent, dye dispersant, and softener in fabric treatment and dyeing processes.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Functions as a surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers to prevent agglomeration and ensure uniform color.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and emulsion breakers due to its surface-active properties.
