SODIUM DECYL SULFATE CAS 142-87-0

Sodium Decyl Sulfate is an anionic surfactant known for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, foaming, and dispersing properties. As a mid-chain length sulfate ester, it offers a balance between the high foam of C12 surfactants and the solubility and mildness of shorter-chain analogues. It is biodegradable and finds extensive use in personal care, household cleaners, and industrial applications. Its chemical formula is C₁₀H₂₁NaO₄S, and it typically appears as a white powder or a clear to pale yellow viscous liquid (in aqueous solution form).

Application:

1.Personal Care:Sodium Decyl Sulfate used as a primary or secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and toothpastes for its good foaming and cleansing properties, offering a milder alternative to longer-chain sulfates.

2.Household Detergents: An effective ingredient in light-duty liquid detergents, dishwashing liquids, and all-purpose cleaners due to its grease-cutting and foaming abilities.

3.Industrial Applications:Sodium Decyl Sulfate serves as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization (e.g., for acrylics, styrene-butadiene) and as a wetting and dispersing agent in agrochemicals, textiles, and coatings.

4.Laboratory Research: Sometimes Sodium Decyl Sulfate used in biochemical applications as a milder detergent compared to SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) for protein solubilization and membrane studies.

Safety profile:

Sodium Decyl Sulfate is generally considered safe for use in cosmetic and detergent formulations at recommended concentrations. It is a mild irritant to eyes and skin. Direct contact with eyes should be avoided. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may lead to dryness or irritation. It is recommended to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses during handling. It is readily biodegradable.

Storage requirements:

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
Protect from moisture and extreme temperatures.
For liquid forms, protect from freezing.

Transport & Packaging:

Sodium Decyl Sulfate is commonly supplied in:

25 kg / 50 kg polyethylene or lined fiber drums (for powder/paste)

200 kg polyethylene drums or 1000 kg IBC totes (for liquid solutions)
Classified as non-dangerous goods for transport under normal conditions. Always check the specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and transportation instructions.
