Description

Potassium Docosyl Sulphate is a high-purity, long-chain anionic surfactant derived from behenic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and foaming properties, particularly in demanding formulations requiring stability and mildness. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing sectors. Our supply is characterized by consistent quality and reliable global availability to meet stringent production requirements.

Application

• Primary Surfactant in High-End Personal Care: Used in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its rich, stable lather and skin-mildness.
• Emulsifying Agent in Cosmetic Emulsions: Stabilizes oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions in lotions, creams, and conditioners.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty floor cleaners, degreasers, and hard surface cleaners for its superior wetting power.
• Textile Processing Auxiliary: Functions as a wetting agent and emulsifier in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Specialty Detergent Formulations: Employed in niche applications requiring high electrolyte tolerance and thermal stability.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or intermediate in chemical synthesis and material science research.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Docosyl Sulphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, composition, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and heavy metal limits. We are committed to supporting compliance with relevant industry standards for cosmetic and industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
