Description

Sulfuric Acid, Monotallow Alkyl Esters, Sodium Salts is a specialized anionic surfactant derived from tallow fatty acids. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical performance additive for formulators in the personal care, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective and stable anionic agents.

Application

• Primary Emulsifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations such as creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Textile Processing Aid for scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations to improve wetting and fiber penetration.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers and floor cleaners.
• Metal Working Fluids to emulsify oils and provide lubrication and corrosion inhibition.
• Agricultural Adjuvants enhancing the spreading and sticking of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Leather Processing agent used in fatliquoring and dyeing to improve softness and uniformity.
