Description

Sodium Hexyl 2-Hydroxyethyl Phosphate is an organophosphate surfactant and emulsifier, valued for its excellent wetting, dispersing, and anti-corrosion properties. This compound is particularly significant in formulations requiring stable emulsions and effective surface activity under various pH conditions. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors for creating high-performance products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing a smooth texture and enhancing product stability.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a wetting agent, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve foliar adhesion and efficacy.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Serves as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care products due to its strong emulsifying power.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a lubricant, antistatic agent, and dye leveling assistant in fiber treatment and dyeing baths.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting fluids and coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers, improving color development and preventing settling in water-based systems.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Hexyl 2-Hydroxyethyl Phosphate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and other critical parameters are available upon request for quality assurance and regulatory compliance.

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 to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
