Description

Sulfuric Acid, Mono-C12-15-Alkyl Esters, Ammonium Salts is an anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl sulfate ester salt family. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and foaming properties in aqueous systems. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of industrial and institutional cleaning products, personal care items, and as a processing aid in various chemical syntheses.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a primary surfactant in heavy-duty floor cleaners, degreasers, and alkaline cleaning formulations.
• Personal Care: Used in the production of shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps for its foaming and cleansing characteristics.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and scouring aid in fiber treatment and dyeing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an anionic emulsifier in the synthesis of polymers like acrylics, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and PVC.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and wetting on plant surfaces.
• Metal Working Fluids: Used as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and synthetic coolants.

Quality Control

Our production of Ammonium C12-15 Alkyl Sulfate adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch is tested against key parameters including active matter content, pH, moisture, and color to ensure consistency and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided with every shipment. Our quality system is designed to support compliance with relevant global standards for industrial and cosmetic applications.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may affect product quality.
