Description

Bis(2-Hydroxypropyl)Ammonium Decyl Sulphate is a specialized ammonium salt surfactant derived from decyl alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in a variety of demanding formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors for creating stable, high-performance products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary or secondary surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and shaving creams, providing rich lather and mildness.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a wetting agent, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance efficacy and spray coverage.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and vehicle wash formulations for superior oil and grease removal.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a wetting and scouring agent in fabric pretreatment and dyeing processes to ensure even dye penetration.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier in the production of acrylic, styrene-butadiene, and other polymer latexes.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oil and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.
