Description

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from lauryl alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties, making it a critical component in formulations requiring rich, stable lather and effective cleansing. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors for products where mildness and performance are key requirements.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: A primary foaming agent in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and bubble baths.
• Home Care Products: Key surfactant in liquid dish soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and carpet shampoos for its degreasing and foaming action.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in formulations for vehicle wash systems, floor cleaners, and industrial degreasers.
• Cosmetic Bases: Employed in the production of shaving creams, makeup removers, and other rinse-off cosmetic products.
• Textile Processing: Acts as a wetting and scouring agent in textile manufacturing and finishing.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an anionic emulsifier in the production of synthetic latexes and polymers.
