Description

Castor Oil, Sulfated, Sodium Salt is an anionic surfactant derived from the sulfation of castor oil and subsequent neutralization. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a versatile processing aid. It is primarily used in industries such as textiles, leather processing, and metalworking fluids where stable emulsions and lubrication are critical.

Application

• Textile Processing: Acts as a leveling agent, emulsifier, and wetting agent in dyeing and finishing baths.
• Leather Industry: Used in fatliquoring and softening processes to improve leather's texture and pliability.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as an emulsifier and lubricant in soluble oils and coolants for machining operations.
• Agricultural Formulations: Functions as an emulsifier and spreader in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Paper & Pulp: Employed as a dispersant and defoamer in paper coating and pulp processing.
• Personal Care: Used in select cosmetic and toiletry formulations as a mild surfactant and emulsifier.
• Industrial Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers and cleaning formulations.
