Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Sulfo-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, C10-16-Alkyl Ethers, Ammonium Salts is a high-performance anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl ether sulfate (AES) family. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties, even in the presence of hard water and electrolytes. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, household, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective and mild surfactants. Its ammonium salt form offers advantages in specific formulations requiring particular solubility or compatibility profiles.

Application

• Personal Care Products: Primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and bubble baths due to its rich lather and mildness on skin and hair.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Key component in liquid dish soaps, all-purpose cleaners, floor cleaners, and car wash formulations for superior grease cutting and foam stability.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Used in formulations for hard surface cleaners, food processing plant sanitizers, and vehicle cleaning systems.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a surfactant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes, such as those for paints and coatings.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Laureth Sulfate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested against rigorous specifications to ensure consistency in active matter content, foaming performance, and color. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, pH, unsulfated matter, and heavy metal content. Our production adheres to relevant standards for cosmetic and industrial applications.

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/59-77°F). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
