Description

Sodium Hexacosyl Sulphate is a high-purity, long-chain anionic surfactant derived from a C26 fatty alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in demanding formulations. It serves as a critical performance additive in industries requiring stable emulsions and surface activity in high-temperature or high-electrolyte environments. The product is identified by CAS NO 71317-52-7.

Application

The unique structure of Sodium Hexacosyl Sulphate provides robust surface activity, making it suitable for specialized industrial applications where shorter-chain surfactants may fail.

• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Acts as a key emulsifier and wetting agent in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and textile scouring formulations.
• Textile Processing: Used in dyeing and finishing baths as a levelling agent and dispersant for pigments, ensuring uniform color application.
• Agricultural Formulations: Serves as an emulsifier and spreader in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing foliar adhesion and coverage.
• Leather Processing: Employed in fatliquoring and dyeing processes to improve the penetration and distribution of oils and dyes.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Functions as a dispersant and deinking agent in paper recycling and pulp processing operations.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Investigated for use as a surfactant in chemical flooding to reduce interfacial tension and mobilize residual oil.
• Specialty Emulsions: Aids in the formation and stabilization of high-solids or wax-based emulsions for coatings and polishes.
• Research & Development: Used as a reference standard or a building block in synthetic chemistry and surfactant research.
