Its chemical formula is C H 3 (CH 2) 11 (OCH 2 CH 2) n OSO 3 Na. Sometimes the number represented by n is specified in the name, for example laureth-2 sulfate. The product is heterogeneous in the number of ethoxyl groups, where n is the mean. Laureth-3 sulfate is the most common one in commercial products.
Dodecanol / ˈ d oʊ ˈ d ɛ k ɑː n ɒ l /, or lauryl alcohol, is an organic compound produced industrially from palm kernel oil or coconut oil.It is a fatty alcohol. Sulfate esters of lauryl alcohol, especially sodium lauryl sulfate, are very widely used as surfactants.
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sometimes written sodium laurilsulfate, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 11 OSO 3 Na and structure H 3 C−(CH 2) 11 −O−S(=O) 2 −O − Na +. It is an anionic surfactant used in many cleaning and hygiene products. This compound is the sodium salt of the 12 ...
[6] [7] They are typically used in detergents and cleaning agents, for degreasing, in the emulsion polymerization, the conditioning of concrete and mortar as well as in the formulation of pesticides. [2] Sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate is being introduced in some shampoos as an alternative to sodium laureth sulfate. Some groups and sellers ...
Ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS) is the INCI name and common name for ammonium dodecyl sulfate (CH 3 (CH 2) 10 CH 2 OSO 3 NH 4).The anion consists of a nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and a polar sulfate end group.
Along with sodium laureth sulfate, they are one of the oldest and most widely used synthetic detergents and may be found in numerous personal-care products (soaps, shampoos, toothpaste etc.) and household-care products (laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, spray cleaner etc.). [1]
In sodium laurETH sulfate, the lauryl alcohol is first ethoxylated (hence the ETH) to give :C 12 H 25 O(C 2 H 4) n OH (n apparently is usually about 5, so it is a mixture of similar compounds), and then the sulfate is attached to give C 12 H 25 O(C 2 H 4) n OSO 3-. So it is a long sucker.
A foaming agent is a material such as a surfactant or a blowing agent that facilitates the formation of foam.A surfactant, when present in small amounts, reduces surface tension of a liquid (reduces the work needed to create the foam) or increases its colloidal stability by inhibiting coalescence of bubbles.
