Primary Surfactants

Primary surfactants are key ingredients in both Home Care and I&I formulations.

Our range includes:

Dried Surfactants

EMPICOL^® Alkyl Ether Sulfates

EMPICOL^® EAC 70

Ammonium Laureth-3 Sulfate

Primary anionic surfactant. Foaming (flash-foam, stable), cleaning and emulsifying agent. Hard water tolerant. Leaves less residue on surfaces. Formulating range of pH: neutral and slightly acidic.

EMPICOL^® EGC 70

Magnesium Laureth-3 Sulfate

Primary anionic surfactant. Foaming (flash-foam, stable), cleaning and emulsifying agent. Hard water tolerant. Has greater oil solubility than sodium salt. Less irritant than the correspondent sodium salt. Better viscosity response and better foam stability than sodium salt. Formulating range of pH: neutral and slightly acidic.

EMPIMIN^® Alkyl Ether Sulfates

EMPIMIN^® LSM 30

Sodium C9-11 Pareth-2 Sulfate

Primary anionic surfactant. High foaming (flash-foam). Good compatibility with high electrolytes levels. Compatible with alkaline systems. Preservative: Methylisothiazolinone (and) Benzylisothiazolinone.

EMPICOL^® Alkyl Sulfates

EMPICOL^® 0335/X

Sodium C10-12 Alkyl Sulfate

Primary anionic surfactant. High foaming (flash-foam). Good compatibility with high electrolytes levels. Compatible with alkaline systems. Preservative: Methylchloroisothiazolinone (and) Methylisothiazolinone.

Naturally derived grade may also be available upon request.

EMPICOL^® 0758

Sodium Decyl Sulfate

Primary anionic surfactant. High foaming (flash-foam). Good compatibility with high electrolytes levels. Compatible with alkaline systems.

Naturally derived grade may also be available upon request.

EMPICOL^® 0775/55 (and MB)

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (and) Sodium Tallow Sulfate

Primary anionic surfactant. Foaming (flash-foam). Ideal for the manufacture of hand-cleaning pastes at a pH close to that of the skin. This product is based on a selected blend of fatty alcohols which provide a higher viscosity build in aqueous formulations.

EMPICOL^® AL 25/EX

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate

Primary anionic surfactant. High foaming (flash-foam). Better viscosity response than sodium salt. Easier to rinse than sodium salt. pH formulating range: neutral and slightly acidic. Preservative: Methylchloroisothiazolinone (and) Methylisothiazolinone.

EMPICOL^® AL 70

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate

Primary anionic surfactant. High foaming (flash-foam). Better viscosity response than sodium salt. Easier to rinse than sodium salt. pH formulating range: neutral and slightly acidic.

EMPICOL^® LQ 33/TX

MEA Lauryl Sulfate

Primary anionic surfactant. High foaming (flash-foam). Better viscosity response than sodium salt. Easier to rinse than sodium salt. pH formulating range: neutral and slightly acidic. Preservative: Methylchloroisothiazolinone (and) Methylisothiazolinone.

EMPICOL^® LV840

Sodium Caprylyl Sulfate

Primary anionic surfactant. Low foaming. Good compatibility with high electrolyte levels. Compatible with alkalyne systems.

EMPICOL^® LVT40

Sodium C8-10 Sulfate

Primary anionic surfactant. High foaming (flash foam). Good compatibility with high electrolyte levels. Compatible with alkalyne systems.

NANSA^® Olefin Sulfonates

NANSA^® LSS 38/AS

Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate

Primary anionic surfactant. Excellent foaming and detergency. Hard water and electrolyte tolerant. Chemically stable in acidic and alkaline conditions. Free from 1,4-dioxane and EO. Preservative: 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol.

NANSA^® LSS 38/U

Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate

Primary anionic surfactant. Excellent foaming and detergency properties. Hard water and electrolyte tolerant. Chemically stable in acidic and alkaline conditions. Free from 1,4-dioxane and EO.

NANSA^® Alkylbenzene Sulfonates

NANSA^® SS 55/I

Sodium Dodecylbenzene Sulfonate

Primary anionic surfactant. Work-horse of many household detergents. High foaming profile. The concentration represents the best compromise between the highest active/ ease of handling. Chemically stable in acidic and alkaline conditions. Preservative: Methylisothiazolinone (and) Benzylisothiazolinone.

NANSA^® Fatty acid salts

NANSA^® PC 38/F (and MB)

Potassium Cocoate

Primary anionic surfactant with good detergent properties. Low foam profile/ foam controller in hard water.
