Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Sulfo-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, C12-18-Alkyl Ethers, Ammonium Salts is a high-performance anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl ether sulfate (AES) family. Its primary value lies in its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties, even in the presence of hard water and electrolytes. This versatile surfactant is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective and stable detergency.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: A key foaming and cleansing agent in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and hand soaps, providing a rich, stable lather and mildness to the skin.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Used in liquid dishwashing detergents, all-purpose cleaners, hard surface cleaners, and car wash solutions for its superior grease-cutting and foaming power.
• Industrial & Mechanical Cleaners: Serves as a primary surfactant in industrial degreasers, metal cleaning formulations, and textile processing aids where high detergency is required.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of latex polymers for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance wetting, spreading, and penetration on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our production of Ammonium Laureth Sulfate adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay (active matter), pH, color, viscosity, and residual matter analysis, to ensure consistency and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, providing full traceability and compliance with relevant industry specifications for personal care and detergent applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at ambient temperatures (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
