Polyethylene glycol octylphenyl ether sulfate sodium salt

Polyethylene glycol octylphenyl ether sulfate sodium salt (CAS 55348-40-8), commercially known as Emulphor OPS 25, is an anionic surfactant derived from ethoxylated octylphenol sulfation.

It delivers effective emulsification, detergency, and foam-generating performance across a range of industrial and personal care formulations. In home care and industrial cleaning products, it functions as a primary or co-surfactant.

It is used in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and heavy-duty detergent concentrates where soil removal and emulsification of oils are required. Personal care formulators incorporate it into shampoos and cleansing systems.

In these systems, controlled foaming and emulsification of conditioning agents are process priorities. Textile processing operations use it as a scouring and wetting agent to remove oils, waxes, and sizing agents.

This occurs from fiber substrates prior to dyeing or finishing. In leather and paper processing, it supports uniform dispersion of treatment chemicals and improves substrate penetration during wet processing stages.

This product is typically supplied as an aqueous liquid solution. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with concentration and active content specifications confirmed against data sheets.

Buyers should request batch-level documentation including active matter content and pH range when evaluating supplier lots. This ensures the material meets the necessary performance criteria for specific industrial applications.
