Description

Sodium 2-Ethyl-3-Hydroxyhexyl Sulphate is a specialized anionic surfactant derived from a branched-chain alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, making it a versatile functional ingredient. It is primarily needed by formulators in the personal care, household, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, mild surfactants with good solubility profiles.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant in mild shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its gentle cleansing and rich lather.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Acts as an effective wetting and emulsifying agent in liquid dish soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface degreasers.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring and wetting agent in textile pretreatment and dyeing processes to ensure even penetration.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes for paints, coatings, and adhesives.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a surfactant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adherence on plant surfaces.
• Metal Working Fluids: Incorporated as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants.

Quality Control

Our Sodium 2-Ethyl-3-Hydroxyhexyl Sulphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and impurity profiles 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). 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.
