Frequently Asked Questions

What is ammonium C10-16 alkyl ether sulfate used for?

It is an anionic ether-sulfate surfactant (CAS 74455-22-4) used for foaming, wetting, and detergency in liquid cleaning concentrates and rinse-off personal-care cleansers. It is typically supplied as an aqueous solution.

What does this ether sulfate do as a foaming agent?

It generates and stabilizes foam while reducing surface tension across aqueous systems, which aids soil wetting and detergency. These properties make it a primary surfactant in cleaner concentrates and cleansing bases.

What is the active concentration, and how is it supplied?

Ether-sulfate surfactants are supplied as aqueous solutions, and active-matter content varies by grade. Confirm the exact active percentage on the batch CoA, and request the SDS for handling specifications.

What is the HS code for this anionic surfactant?

It classifies under HS 3402.39 (anionic organic surface-active agents: other). Verify the destination-country tariff line and required documentation with our team prior to shipment.

What packaging and minimum order quantities are available for bulk supply?

Aqueous anionic surfactant solutions are typically supplied in drums, totes, or IBCs. Send your target volume and packaging preference for a bulk quote, and we will confirm availability, CoA, and SDS.
