Description

Sodium 2-Octyldodecyl Sulphate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from a branched-chain fatty alcohol, offering excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties. Its unique molecular structure provides superior performance in demanding formulations where stability and compatibility are critical. This product is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing sectors seeking a reliable and effective surfactant component.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary surfactant in high-end shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its rich lather and mildness.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metalworking fluids for its powerful wetting and emulsifying action.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and dye leveling agent in fiber treatment and fabric dyeing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an effective emulsifier in the production of synthetic latexes, acrylics, and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR).
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spray droplet spread and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Leather Processing: Employed in soaking, degreasing, and fatliquoring stages to improve penetration and uniformity of treatment chemicals.

Quality Control

Our Sodium 2-Octyldodecyl Sulphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, activity, and physical properties. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, moisture content, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and compliance with your formulation requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product performance.
