Sodium myreth sulfate

Sodium myreth sulfate (CAS 25446-80-4) is an ethoxylated anionic surfactant derived from myristic acid. Also marketed as UNIPOL ES-40 and TEXAPON K 14S SPEZ.

Where is Sodium myreth sulfate used?

• Personal care: primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes and facial cleansers, generating dense, stable foam with a mild skin profile for rinse-off products
• Liquid hand soaps and baby care: gentler alternative to standard sulfates without sacrificing lather quality
• Home care: grease emulsification and soil removal in dishwashing liquids and surface cleaners at moderate use levels
• Industrial and institutional cleaning concentrates: compatibility with other anionic and amphoteric surfactants in high-active systems
• It remains stable across various pH ranges in these settings.

Commercial specifications

• Active matter concentrations commonly ranging from 25% to 70%
• Bulk supply in drums and IBC containers
