Description

Ammonium Pentyl Sulphate is an ammonium salt surfactant with a defined pentyl chain. This compound is valued for its surface-active properties and its role as an intermediate in specialty chemical synthesis. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors for formulating emulsifiers, wetting agents, and dispersants.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier: Acts as a key component in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations, including hard surface cleaners and degreasers.
• Personal Care Products: Used in the development of shampoos, body washes, and other rinse-off products where mild foaming and cleansing are required.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting agent and dispersant in dye baths and fabric pretreatment solutions to ensure even color application.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spray coverage and active ingredient penetration.
• Polymerization Aid: Serves as an emulsifier or dispersant in certain emulsion polymerization processes for synthetic rubbers and plastics.
• Research & Development: Employed as a standard or intermediate in chemical research for synthesizing novel sulfate-based surfactants.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Pentyl Sulphate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and conformance to agreed specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical parameters is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and quality assurance for our global B2B clients.

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); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
