Description

Natriumalkyl(C8-C20)-Sulfate is a high-purity anionic surfactant belonging to the sodium alkyl sulfate family. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing sectors seeking reliable performance and consistent quality.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, liquid soaps, and bubble baths for its rich lather and mild cleansing profile.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in floor cleaners, car wash solutions, and general-purpose detergents for effective soil removal and foam stability.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and scouring aid in textile pretreatment and dyeing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic rubbers, plastics, and latex paints.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Leather Processing: Employed in degreasing and wetting operations during leather tanning and finishing.

Quality Control

Our Natriumalkyl(C8-C20)-Sulfate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for active matter content, alkyl chain distribution, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, pH, and other critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
