Description

Sodium Ethyl 2-Sulfolaurate is an anionic surfactant derived from lauric acid, valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties. This compound is particularly significant for its mildness and compatibility with other ingredients, making it suitable for formulations requiring high performance with low irritation. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective and versatile surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant in mild shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and shaving foams.
• Home Care Products: An effective ingredient in liquid dishwashing detergents, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface cleaners for its grease-cutting and foaming action.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Employed in formulations for industrial degreasers, vehicle wash systems, and food processing area sanitizers.
• Textile Processing: Acts as a wetting agent and emulsifier in textile scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as a surfactant in the production of latexes for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
