Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), α-Sulfo-ω-Hydroxy-, C12-14-Alkyl Eth Ers, Sodium Salts is a high-performance, biodegradable anionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ether sulfate (AES) family. It is valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties, even in the presence of hard water and electrolytes. This versatile surfactant is essential for formulators in the personal care, household & industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries seeking effective and stable detergency.

Application

• Personal Care Products: Primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, liquid hand soaps, and bubble baths for rich, stable lather and mild cleansing.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Key ingredient in dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, floor cleaners, and car wash formulations for superior grease cutting and foam stability.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Used in high-performance degreasers, metal cleaning solutions, and food processing plant sanitizers.
• Textile Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in 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: Used in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and wetting on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our Sodium C12-14 Alcohol Ether Sulfate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and compliance with industry specifications for parameters such as active matter content, unsulfated matter, salt content, and pH. Certificates of Analysis (COA) 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, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong alkalis and organic solvents. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
