Description

Castor Oil, Sodium Salt is the sodium salt derivative of sulfated castor oil, a versatile anionic surfactant and emulsifying agent. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, dispersing, and softening properties in aqueous systems. It serves as a critical functional additive in industries ranging from textiles and leather processing to cosmetics and agrochemicals, where stable emulsions and surface activity are required.

Application

• Textile Processing: Acts as a powerful wetting agent, emulsifier, and softener in dyeing and finishing baths.
• Leather Manufacturing: Used in fatliquoring and softening processes to impart suppleness and a uniform finish to leather.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as an emulsifier and surfactant in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Employed as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and coolants.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used as a dispersant and softening agent in paper coating and processing.
• Industrial Cleaning: A key component in heavy-duty and textile cleaning formulations for its degreasing and emulsifying power.
