Full Description

Sodium coco sulfate (CAS 97375-27-4) is an anionic surfactant made up of the sodium alkyl sulfate salts derived from coconut fatty alcohols. It is used as a foaming and cleansing surfactant in shampoos, toothpastes, bar and liquid cleansers, and household and industrial cleaning products.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does sodium coco sulfate do?

Sodium coco sulfate (CAS 97375-27-4) is an anionic surfactant made from the sodium alkyl sulfate salts of coconut fatty alcohols. It functions as a high-foaming primary surfactant and detergency base in shampoos, toothpastes, bar and liquid cleansers, and household and industrial cleaning products.

How is sodium coco sulfate different from sodium lauryl sulfate?

Both are anionic alkyl sulfate surfactants, but sodium coco sulfate is derived from the full mix of coconut fatty alcohols, giving a broader alkyl-chain distribution, whereas sodium lauryl sulfate is predominantly the C12 (lauryl) chain. They are distinct INCI/CAS materials with different chain profiles.

What is sodium coco sulfate made from?

It is made from coconut fatty alcohols, which are sulfated and neutralized to form the sodium alkyl sulfate salts. Request the CoA for the specific alkyl-chain distribution of a given lot.

What HS code is sodium coco sulfate?

Sodium coco sulfate is classified under HS 3402.39 (anionic organic surface-active agents, other). Confirm the destination-country tariff line with your order.

How is bulk sodium coco sulfate supplied?

It is supplied to manufacturers and formulators in bulk packaging such as bags, drums, or totes, with grade depending on form (noodles, needles, or powder). Request a bulk quote with your target volume, plus the CoA and SDS.
