Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Sulfo-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, C14-18-Alkyl Ethers, Sodium Salts is a high-performance anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl ether sulfate (AES) family, specifically derived from C14-18 fatty alcohols. 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 raw material for formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective and versatile surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, liquid hand soaps, and bubble baths due to its rich, stable lather and mildness to the skin.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Key ingredient in dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, floor cleaners, and car wash products for its superior degreasing and cleaning power.
• Industrial & Mechanical Applications: Used in metalworking fluids, textile processing aids, and emulsion polymerization as an emulsifier and wetting agent.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting and spreading agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve coverage and efficacy on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Sulfo-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, C14-18-Alkyl Ethers, Sodium Salts is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for active matter content, unsulfated matter, sodium sulfate content, and pH. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency, purity, and performance for your formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect viscosity and stability.
