Sodium 2-ethylhexyl sulfate application:
High-Efficiency Penetrant for Strong-Alkali and High-Salinity Systems: A rare anionic surfactant that maintains excellent solubility, chemical stability, and high-efficiency wetting and penetrating power in concentrated alkaline and high-salinity environments.
Industrial Hard-Surface and Metal Cleaning: Used in strong-alkali metal degreasers, pre-electroplating cleaners, industrial heavy-duty degreasers, and textile alkali-weight-reduction or desizing auxiliaries; it rapidly lowers interfacial tension and ensures quick penetration.
Electroplating Industry Additive: Serves as a low-foaming wetting agent and anti-pinhole agent in the electroplating industry, enhancing coating uniformity and adhesion.
Textile, Printing, Dyeing, and Leather Auxiliaries: Functions as an alkali-resistant penetrant (mercerizing penetrant) in high-concentration caustic soda mercerizing and scouring processes, preventing fiber damage and improving dye uptake.
Low-Foaming Detergents and Construction Chemicals: Produces minimal foam that dissipates quickly; suitable for high-pressure spray cleaning, automatic dishwasher detergents, and as a wetting/dispersing component in concrete water reducers.

Sodium 2-ethylhexyl sulfate Storage
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated dedicated chemical warehouse. Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight; suggested storage temperatures should be maintained between 5 – 35°C (protect against freezing). Keep containers hermetically sealed and sheltered from ambient humidity. Strictly avoid joint storage alongside mineral acids or powerful oxidizers.
