Frequently Asked Questions
What is ammonium myreth sulfate used for?
Ammonium myreth sulfate (AMS) is an ethoxylated myristyl (C14) ether sulfate, ammonium salt, used as a foaming and cleansing anionic surfactant in personal-care products such as shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and liquid soaps. It is supplied as an aqueous active for formulation. CAS 90583-18-9.
What is the difference between ammonium myreth sulfate and laureth sulfate?
Myreth sulfate is built on a myristyl (C14) alcohol backbone, while laureth sulfate is built on lauryl (C12); the longer C14 chain shifts foam character and is often positioned as a milder-feeling cleanser. Both are ethoxylated ether sulfate anionic surfactants. Choose based on target sensory profile and formulation compatibility.
What is ammonium myreth sulfate made from?
It is produced by ethoxylating myristyl (C14) alcohol, sulfating the resulting ether, and neutralizing with ammonia to form the ammonium salt (CAS 90583-18-9). The myristyl feedstock is commonly derived from coconut or palm kernel oil fractions. Request the CoA and SDS for the specific grade.
What is the CAS number and active level of AMS?
Ammonium myreth sulfate is CAS 90583-18-9, an anionic ether-sulfate surfactant classified under HS code 3402.49. It is supplied as an aqueous solution with a defined active percentage; confirm the exact active level on the Certificate of Analysis. Identity is documented per lot.
How is bulk ammonium myreth sulfate packaged and priced?
AMS is supplied in drums, totes, and bulk to manufacturers and formulators. Pricing depends on active concentration, volume, and packaging, so request a bulk quote rather than a list price. The SDS and CoA accompany every quote.
