Description

Sodium 1-(8-Methylnonyl) 9-(Sulphooxy)Octadecanoate is a specialized anionic surfactant derived from a branched-chain fatty acid. This compound is valued for its unique combination of detergency, emulsifying power, and stability in various formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the industrial cleaning, textile processing, and personal care sectors for developing high-performance specialty products. Its specific structure offers advantages in solubility and surface activity over linear chain analogues.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners, providing excellent wetting and soil removal.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing processes as an emulsifier and wetting agent for oils and waxes.
• Personal Care Formulations: Serves as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in specialized skin cleansers, shampoos, and shaving products.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as a surfactant in the production of synthetic latexes for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Leather Processing: Employed in fatliquoring and dyeing stages to improve the uniformity and quality of the final leather.

Quality Control

Our production of Sodium 1-(8-Methylnonyl) 9-(Sulphooxy)Octadecanoate adheres to stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot is analyzed against key parameters including active matter content, moisture, pH, and ionic composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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); ensure containers are kept sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may affect product quality and flow properties.
