Description

Tallow, Sulfated, Sodium Salt is an anionic surfactant derived from natural tallow fats. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and detergent properties, making it a versatile workhorse in industrial formulations. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the leather processing, textile, and metalworking industries where robust and cost-effective surface-active agents are required.

Application

• Leather Processing: Acts as a key fatliquoring and softening agent in the tanning process, improving the leather's texture, flexibility, and durability.
• Textile Industry: Serves as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and detergent in scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations for natural and synthetic fibers.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and lubricant in soluble oils and drawing compounds, providing cooling and anti-corrosion properties.
• Industrial Cleaners & Degreasers: A core component in heavy-duty alkaline and acidic cleaning formulations for machinery, floors, and hard surfaces.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used as a surfactant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spray coverage and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Employed as a dispersant and de-inking agent in the recycling and processing of paper pulp.
