Sodium trideceth sulfate

Sodium trideceth sulfate (CAS 25446-78-0) is an ethoxylated anionic surfactant derived from tridecyl alcohol, supplied as a sodium salt for industrial and personal care applications.

It delivers effective foaming, emulsification, and detergency across a broad range of formulated products. In personal care, it functions as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos and body washes.

This material is ideal for liquid cleansers where controlled foam and mildness are required. Textile processors use it as a scouring and wetting agent to remove oils and sizing agents.

It effectively removes contaminants from fiber and fabric during wet processing. In leather manufacturing, it supports degreasing baths and emulsification of fatliquors during hide preparation.

Paper industry applications include pulp wetting and surface treatment formulations. It is essential where uniform dispersion of additives is critical for high-quality production standards.

The product is typically supplied as an aqueous solution, with active content commonly in the 25–35% range. Both technical and cosmetic grades are available for various needs.

Cosmetic-grade material meets relevant purity standards for personal care formulation. Packaging options generally include drums and IBCs to suit industrial procurement volumes.
