Dodecyl Sulfate Sodium Salt Overview
Dodecyl Sulfate Sodium Salt is an anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl sulphate family. It is commonly produced by sulphation of lauryl alcohol followed by neutralisation with sodium hydroxide. The material is generally supplied as a white powder, granules or needles, depending on the commercial grade and form.
Its surfactant properties help reduce surface tension, allowing water to spread more easily and helping remove oils, dirt and other contaminants. It also produces foam when used in aqueous formulations, making it useful in detergents, household cleaners and other cleansing products.
