Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), α-Sulfo-ω-Hydroxy-, C12-14-Alkyl Ethers, Sodium Salts is a high-performance anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl ether sulfate (AES) family. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties, even in hard water and across a wide pH range. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective and versatile surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, liquid hand soaps, and bubble baths due to its mildness and rich lather.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Key component in dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, floor cleaners, and car wash products for superior degreasing and foaming.
• Industrial & Mechanical Applications: Used in metalworking fluids, textile processing aids, and emulsion polymerization as an emulsifier and wetting agent.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting and spreading agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance coverage and efficacy.

Quality Control

Our Sodium C12-14 Alkyl Ether Sulfate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested against rigorous in-house specifications to ensure consistency in active matter content, pH, color, and viscosity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment and can support compliance with relevant standards such as ISO 22716 (Cosmetics GMP) and REACH.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect viscosity and stability.
