Ammonium C10-16 alkyl sulfate

Ammonium C10-16 alkyl sulfate (CAS 68081-96-9), commercially available as RHODAPON LS-92/RN, is an anionic surfactant derived from medium-chain fatty alcohols neutralized with ammonium hydroxide.

It delivers reliable foaming, detergency, and emulsification across a broad range of personal care and industrial cleaning formulations. In personal care, it functions as a primary surfactant in shampoos and body washes.

The product produces dense, stable foam with effective soil removal in liquid hand soaps. Industrial and household cleaners rely on it for degreasing hard surfaces where its ammonium counterion supports compatibility.

It is highly effective in acidic and neutral formulation systems. Textile processing operations use it as a scouring and wetting agent to remove oils and sizing agents from fiber substrates prior to dyeing.

In paper and leather manufacturing, it supports emulsification of processing aids and improves surface wetting during treatment stages. This versatility makes it a staple for various manufacturing sectors.

Ammonium C10-16 alkyl sulfate is typically supplied as an aqueous liquid or paste, with active matter concentrations commonly in the 28–30% range. It is available in technical and cosmetic grades.

Cosmetic-grade material meets purity requirements suitable for rinse-off personal care products. Bulk supply is standard in drums and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) to meet high-volume industrial demands.
