Sodium C12-13 alkyl sulfate

Sodium C12-13 alkyl sulfate (CAS 91783-23-2) is an anionic surfactant derived from a narrow-cut blend of C12 and C13 fatty alcohols.

Where is Sodium C12-13 alkyl sulfate used?

• Personal care: primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes and facial cleansers, generating dense, stable foam while removing oils and residues from skin and hair
• Home care and institutional cleaning: grease cutting and soil suspension in dish detergents, hard surface cleaners and laundry formulations
• Textile processing: scouring and wetting agent that removes sizing, oils and contaminants from fiber surfaces before dyeing or finishing
• Paper and leather processing: emulsification of treatment chemistries and uniform dispersion of coatings and finishing agents
• It delivers high-performance foaming, detergency and emulsification.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm active content, sodium sulfate levels and unsulfated matter limits when evaluating grades for sensitive formulations.
