Request SDS →Sodium myreth sulfate (CAS 25446-80-4) is an anionic alkyl (myristyl) ether sulfate surfactant. Industry references record it as a CIR-reviewed ingredient present in personal-care and pet-care products. As an ether sulfate it provides foam and detergency in aqueous cleansing systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is sodium myreth sulfate?
Sodium myreth sulfate (CAS 25446-80-4) is an anionic alkyl (myristyl) ether sulfate surfactant, the ethoxylated sulfate of myristyl alcohol. Industry references record it as a CIR-reviewed ingredient used in personal-care and pet-care products. As an ether sulfate it provides foam and detergency in aqueous cleansing systems.
What is sodium myreth sulfate used for?
It is used as a foaming surfactant in personal-care cleansing formulations, as a surfactant in pet shampoos and cleansing products, and to lower surface tension for soil and oil removal. RawSource supplies it as an anionic surfactant base for cleansing formulators.
Is sodium myreth sulfate the same as sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium trideceth sulfate?
No. Sodium myreth sulfate is the ethoxylated sulfate of a C14 (myristyl) alcohol; sodium lauryl sulfate is a non-ethoxylated C12 alkyl sulfate, and sodium trideceth sulfate is an ethoxylated C13 alcohol sulfate. They are distinct surfactants with different chain lengths and CAS numbers. Confirm identity by CAS on the CoA.
What is the molecular formula and CAS number for sodium myreth sulfate?
The representative formula is C20H41NaO7S and the CAS number is 25446-80-4; because the ethoxylated chain length varies, the formula reflects a typical species. RawSource provides a CoA confirming active content and identity for each lot.
How is sodium myreth sulfate supplied in bulk?
It is supplied as an aqueous active solution; active content varies by grade, so request a CoA. RawSource offers drums, totes, and IBCs. The HS classification is 3402.39 (anionic organic surface-active agents, other) — contact us for available grades and a bulk quote.
