(Sodium decyl alcohol sulphate CAS 142-87-0)

Overview of Sodium Decyl Alcohol Sulphate

Sodium decyl alcohol sulfate is an anionic surfactant known as sodium dodecyl sulfate. It is a sulfate salt formed by the reaction of dodecanol and sulfuric acid, with dual properties of hydrophilicity and oleophility. SDS has a long hydrocarbon chain and a sulfate ion in its chemical structure, which enables it to emulsify and disperse between water and oil.

Sodium decyl alcohol sulfate has many applications in daily life and industrial production. In cleaning products such as detergents, shampoo, and shower gel, SDS can remove oil and dirt, improving cleaning efficiency. In addition, SDS also plays an important role in the fields of cosmetics, paint, coatings, pesticides, etc.

Features of Sodium Decyl Alcohol Sulphate

Efficient surfactant: Sodium decyl alcohol sulfate has excellent surface activity, which can significantly decrease the surface tension of water, thereby enhancing its ability to wet and disperse impurities such as oil and dust.

Good emulsification performance: the long hydrocarbon chain in its structure makes it easy to combine with oil. In contrast, sulfate makes it hydrophilic so that SDS can emulsify the oil-water mixture into a stable lotion.

Strong stability: SDS can maintain stability over a wide pH range and is not easily affected by environmental factors such as temperature and electrolyte.

Easy biodegradation: Compared to some synthetic surfactants, SDS is more easily decomposed by microorganisms in the natural environment, reducing its long-term impact on the environment.

Multi-domain applicability: Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, SDS has been widely used in various fields such as detergents, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, etc.

Irritability: Although SDS performs well in many applications, it has a certain degree of irritation to the skin and eyes, so appropriate protective measures must be taken when using it.
