Description

Sodium Trideceth-12 Carboxylate is a high-performance, mild anionic surfactant derived from ethoxylated tridecyl alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, cleansing, and emulsifying properties, even in the presence of hard water and electrolytes. It is a critical ingredient for formulators seeking gentle yet effective surfactants for personal care and industrial cleaning applications. Its compatibility with a wide range of other ingredients makes it a versatile choice for sophisticated formulations.

Application

• Personal Care Cleansers: A primary surfactant in mild facial cleansers, shower gels, shampoos, and baby care products due to its low irritation profile.
• Cosmetic Emulsions: Used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and makeup removers.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: An effective foaming and cleaning agent in liquid soaps, dishwashing liquids, and all-purpose cleaners.
• Institutional & Healthcare: Suitable for formulating gentle yet effective hand soaps and sanitizers for hospitals, schools, and food service.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and detergent in scouring and finishing baths.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Can be used as a component in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and wetting.
