Sodium C 12-C15Pareth Sulphate, like Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Ammonium Capryleth Sulphate orSodium Myreth Sulphate etc., is a typical synthetic detergent obtained mainly for cosmetic applications, but also used in polymerization processes, for the production of household chemicals and in construction.
Sodium C 12-C15Pareth Sulphate is the INCI name of this compound, in line with the international system for naming ingredients in cosmetic formulations and preparations. According to this system, the English names are used for chemical compounds, while the Latin names are used for plants. The use of the INCI name, for example Sodium C12-C15Pareth Sulphate is important both for consumers and professionals. An alternative chemical name for this chemical is sodium C12-C15 pareth sulphate. The CAS number is 125301-92-0.
Sodium C12-C15 Pareth Sulphate belongs to anionic surfactants from the the group of alkyl ether sulphates. The commercially available product, such as the product available from PCC Group is in the form of an aqueous solution with an active substance content of 27%. Its colour varies from colourless to light yellow.
Sodium C12-C15 Pareth Sulphate in the form of an aqueous solution is characterized by a low viscosity at room temperature, which translates into wider application possibilities, such as pumping, dosing or mixing with other components. The anionic nature of this product directly affects the synergism with nonionic, amphoteric and anionic surfactants present in given cosmetic formulations or industrial products.
The specific function of the surfactant, which is Sodium C 12-C15 Pareth Sulphate in preparations, results from its chemical structure. Sodium C12-C15 Pareth Sulphate has very good detergent and foaming properties. It creates high and stable foams. For this reason, it has been used as an ingredient of active foams in automotive chemistry. In addition, it is characterized by an increased resistance to hard water compared to other anionic surfactants with alkyl ether sulphate groups. It also has excellent emulsifying properties and effectively reduces surface tension. For this reason, it can be used in emulsion polymerization processes, where it is responsible for the proper emulsification of monomers in the reaction mixture.
