Description

Ammonium Octacosyl Sulphate is an ammonium salt of a long-chain fatty alcohol sulfate, characterized by its 28-carbon alkyl chain. This molecular structure provides excellent surfactant properties, making it a valuable component in formulations requiring stable foaming, emulsification, and surface tension reduction. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing sectors for its reliable performance and compatibility.

Application

• Primary surfactant or co-surfactant in personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps.
• Emulsifying agent in industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning formulations and degreasers.
• Wetting and dispersing agent in textile processing for dyeing and finishing operations.
• Foam stabilizer and viscosity modifier in specialty detergent systems.
• Raw material for the synthesis of other specialty surfactants and sulfated compounds.
• Component in firefighting foam concentrates and other aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF).
• Additive in agricultural adjuvants to enhance the spreading and adherence of pesticides.
• Processing aid in the manufacture of polymers and latex.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Octacosyl Sulphate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, composition, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and sulfate content 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, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
