Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Sulfo-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, C10-12-Alkyl Ethers, Sodium Salts is a high-performance anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl ether sulfate (AES) family, specifically the sodium salts of C10-12 fatty alcohol ethoxylate sulfates. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties, even in hard water and in the presence of electrolytes. It is a critical ingredient for formulators seeking effective and versatile surface-active performance. Key industries that rely on this surfactant include personal care, household & industrial cleaning, and textile processing.

Application

• Personal Care Products: Primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, liquid soaps, and facial cleansers for its rich, stable lather and mildness to skin.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Core component in dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, hard surface cleaners, and floor care products due to its superior detergency and grease-cutting ability.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Used in formulations for vehicle wash, food processing plant cleaners, and dairy detergents where high foam and soil suspension are required.
• Textile Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in fabric preparation, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of latex polymers for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Utilized as a wetting and spreading agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance coverage and efficacy on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Sulfo-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, C10-12-Alkyl Ethers, Sodium Salts is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and compliance with industry specifications for key parameters such as active matter content, unsulfated matter, salt content, and pH. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
