Description

Sodium 1-Acetoxyhexadecanol Sulphate is a specialized anionic surfactant derived from a fatty alcohol, combining the properties of a sulfate ester and an acetate ester in a single molecule. This unique structure provides excellent emulsifying, wetting, and foaming characteristics, making it a valuable functional ingredient. It is primarily sought after by formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors for creating stable, high-performance products.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary or secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for gentle cleansing and rich lather.
• Cosmetic Emulsions: Used as an emulsifier in creams, lotions, and makeup products to stabilize oil-in-water systems.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Provides effective wetting and degreasing power in hard surface cleaners, metalworking fluids, and textile processing aids.
• Specialty Detergents: Enhances the performance of high-end liquid soaps and dishwashing formulations requiring mildness and foam stability.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Can be utilized in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
