Description

Potassium Glycol Sulfate is an organosulfate salt with significant utility as a versatile anionic surfactant and intermediate. Its unique structure provides excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, making it a valuable component in advanced formulations. This compound is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and specialty chemical synthesis sectors for its performance and compatibility.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mildness and rich lather.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: An effective ingredient in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and detergent formulations for its superior wetting and soil removal.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, dye leveling agent, and emulsifier in various textile pretreatment and finishing baths.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Employed as a dispersant and adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance spray coverage and efficacy.
• Polymer & Emulsion Synthesis: Serves as an emulsifier or stabilizer in the production of latexes, acrylics, and other polymer dispersions.
• Specialty Chemical Intermediate: Acts as a key building block for the synthesis of more complex sulfate esters and specialty surfactants.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Glycol Sulfate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency and 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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
