Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Sulfo-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, C16-18-Alkyl Ethers, Sodium Salts is a high-performance anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl ether sulfate class. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties, particularly in challenging aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries seeking reliable and effective surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps for its rich lather and mildness on skin.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and alkaline cleaning formulations for superior wetting and grease removal.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in dyeing and finishing baths to ensure even dye penetration and oil removal.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes, such as acrylics and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR).
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as a wetting and spreading agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance foliar coverage and efficacy.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and well stimulation fluids for its emulsifying and foaming characteristics.
