Sodium C12-14 alkyl sulfate

Sodium C12-14 alkyl sulfate (CAS 85586-07-8) is an anionic surfactant derived from a blend of C12 and C14 fatty alcohol chains, offering a broader carbon range than single-cut sodium lauryl sulfate.

It functions as a primary surfactant in foaming, cleansing, and emulsification systems across personal care, household, and industrial applications. In shampoos, body washes, and liquid hand soaps, it delivers strong foam generation.

The material provides effective sebum removal at a competitive cost for formulators. Industrial and household cleaners rely on it for grease cutting and soil dispersion on hard surfaces, particularly in high-dilution formulations.

Textile and leather processors use it as a wetting and scouring agent to improve liquor penetration during fiber preparation and dyeing. This versatility makes it a staple in various manufacturing sectors.

Paper manufacturers incorporate it into pulping and de-inking processes where consistent foam behavior and surface wetting are critical. Sodium C12-14 alkyl sulfate is supplied as a liquid or paste for easy handling.

It is typically available at active concentrations of 28–30% or 70% depending on the specific application requirements. Technical and cosmetic-grade material is available for industrial procurement needs.

Cosmetic-grade product is manufactured to meet specifications relevant to personal care use. Drum, IBC, and bulk tanker supply formats are standard for large-scale industrial procurement volumes.
