Description

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

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Key ingredient in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its rich lather and mild cleansing action.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and detergent formulations for superior wetting and soil removal.
• Textile Processing: Functions as an effective wetting agent, emulsifier, and dye leveling assistant in fabric preparation and dyeing baths.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as a primary or co-surfactant in the production of acrylic, vinyl acetate, and styrene-butadiene latexes.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides on plant surfaces.
• Paint & Coatings: Acts as a dispersant and stabilizer in water-based paint systems to prevent pigment settling and improve application properties.
