Description

Diethyl(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Decyl Sulphate is a specialized quaternary ammonium salt surfactant with unique amphiphilic properties. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and antistatic capabilities in demanding formulations. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mildness and rich lather.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Functions as a softening agent, lubricant, and antistatic agent in fiber processing and fabric finishing.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Provides effective wetting and emulsification in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and metalworking fluids.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes and polymers.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Employed as a debonding agent and softener in tissue paper manufacturing.

Quality Control

Our Diethyl(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Decyl Sulphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and meets high-purity standards suitable for industrial and cosmetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, and impurity profiles 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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product quality.
