Description

Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Octyl Sulphate is a versatile anionic-nonionic hybrid surfactant derived from octyl alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a key functional ingredient in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and industrial cleaning sectors who require a high-performance, water-soluble surfactant with good compatibility.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and shaving creams, providing rich lather and mildness.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a wetting agent, leveling agent, and emulsifier in dyeing and finishing processes to ensure uniform color application and fabric treatment.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key component in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and floor care products due to its effective oil removal and emulsification.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading, wetting, and absorption on plant surfaces.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes, acrylics, and other polymer dispersions.
• Metal Working Fluids: Incorporated as a lubricity agent and emulsifier in cutting oils, coolants, and rust preventatives.
