Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Sulfo-.Omega.-(Decyloxy)-, Sodium Salt is a high-performance anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl ether sulfate chemical class. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties, particularly in demanding formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries who require reliable, consistent performance from their surfactants.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps for its rich lather and mildness.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and detergent formulations for hard surfaces.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in fiber treatment and dyeing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of acrylic, vinyl acetate, and styrene-butadiene latexes.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and enhanced oil recovery formulations as a foaming and viscosity control agent.
