Description

(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium 2-Ethylhexyl Sulphate is a specialized anionic surfactant salt that combines the hydrophilic properties of an ethanolamine cation with the hydrophobic characteristics of a branched-chain alkyl sulfate. This unique structure makes it a highly effective emulsifier and wetting agent for demanding industrial formulations. It is particularly valuable for manufacturers in the agrochemical, coatings, and textile processing industries who require stable, high-performance surfactant systems.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide concentrates (ECs, SEs) and adjuvant systems to enhance spray coverage and efficacy.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaning formulations, and hard surface cleaners for its excellent wetting and soil penetration properties.
• Coatings & Inks: Serves as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid in water-based and solvent-based systems to improve color development and stability.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a wetting agent and penetrant in dyeing, scouring, and finishing baths to ensure uniform treatment.
• Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization processes for synthetic rubbers and plastics.
• Leather Processing: Used in soaking, dyeing, and fatliquoring operations to improve chemical penetration and uniformity.
