Sodium C12-15 pareth sulfate

Sodium C12-15 pareth sulfate (CAS 91648-56-5) is an ethoxylated alkyl sulfate surfactant derived from mid-cut fatty alcohols. It is used as a primary or co-surfactant in rinse-off and industrial cleaning formulations.

Its combination of foaming, detergency, and mildness relative to standard alkyl sulfates makes it a preferred building block. This is especially true where skin compatibility and cleaning performance must be balanced.

In personal care, it functions as the primary cleansing agent in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers. It delivers controlled lather and effective soil removal for high-quality consumer products.

Home care formulators incorporate it into liquid dish soaps and hard surface cleaners. It is ideal for applications where high-foam detergency is required at moderate use concentrations for efficiency.

Industrial and institutional cleaning products rely on it for degreasing formulations. These must remain stable across a range of water hardness conditions to ensure consistent performance in various environments.

In textile processing, it supports scouring and wetting operations where uniform fiber penetration is essential. Residue-free rinsing is critical to maintaining downstream dyeing quality and material integrity.

Sodium C12-15 pareth sulfate is supplied as a clear to slightly hazy liquid or paste. It is typically available at active matter concentrations ranging from 25 percent to 70 percent for manufacturing.

It is available in cosmetic-grade and technical-grade specifications to meet diverse requirements. These grades serve the personal care and industrial end markets respectively with high reliability.
