Two Different Types of Anionic Surfactants

 Anionic surfactant is a kind of product with the longest history, the largest output and the most varieties among surfactants. According to the structure of hydrophilic groups, anionic surfactants can be divided into sulfonates and sulfates, which are the main categories of anionic surfactants. 

 

The anionic surfactants definition is a must-known concept for many people working in the chemical industry. The various functions of surfactants are mainly manifested in changing the properties of the liquid surface, liquid-liquid interface and liquid-solid interface, of which the surface (interface) of the liquid is the most important.

 

Sulfate-type anionic surfactants mainly include fatty alcohol sulfate (also known as primary alkyl sulfate) and secondary alkyl sulfate

1.  Fatty alcohol sulfate (ester) salt (FAS or AS). The general formula of fatty alcohol sulfate is: ROS0-3M+, R is alkyl, M+ is sodium, potassium, ammonium, ethanolamine and other cations, also known as primary alkyl sulfuric acid Salt, English abbreviated as FAS or AS.

 

It is the earliest anionic surfactant after soap. It is prepared by esterification of c12-c14 fatty alcohols generated by Hydrogenolysis of coconut oil with sulfuric acid and neutralization. It has suitable solubility, foaming and decontamination properties. It is widely used in dentifrice, shampoo, bubble bath and cosmetics. It is also an important component in the formulation of light scale, heavy scale detergents, carpet cleaners and hard surface cleaning agents, such as sodium lauryl sulfate (C12H25OSO3Na).

 

2. Secondary alkyl sulfate (Teep01). It is a secondary alkyl sulfate produced by the reaction of olefin and sulfuric acid. It is a product obtained after neutralization. The trade name is Teep01. Teep01, similar to FAS, is also a kind of surfactant agent with good performance, but its solubility and wettability are better due to structural differences. It is usually made into liquid or slurry detergent, since the powder product is easy to absorb moisture and agglomerate.

Acetyl Chloride

  Features of Acetyl Chloride Product Name: Acetyl chloride Chemical Formula: C2H3ClO Acetyl chloride cas : 75-36-5 Dangerous Grade: 3.2 Technical Data of Acetyl Chloride ITERMS SPECIFICATION Appearance Colourless transparent liquid Assay ≥99.0% Phosphorus content ≤0.02% Package and Storage: 200kg/drum Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use Application /Application Industries: Acetylation reagent Pharmaceuticals Dye Acetyl chloride is a colorless flammable liquid with a pungent odor. It is violently decomposed by water or ethanol. Dissolved in chloroform, ether, benzene, petroleum ether or glacial acetic acid. Acetyl chloride is an irritant and corrosive agent. Contact with the skin can cause burns, and steam can strongly irritate the eyes and mucous membranes. When people inhale 2 ppm, they can feel the stimulating effect. Short-term exposure to higher concentrations of acetyl chloride may cause death or permanent damage. The amount of aquatic live poisoning

What is GLycolic Acid?

  We like to focus on the ingredients of beauty products. But we prefer to touch the product and explore whether it really works. Alpha hydroxy acid is also known as AHA. It includes glycolic acid , lactic acid and citric acid. These products do not meet the needs.   Now we analyze the most popular ingredient in the world - glycolic acid.   Glycolic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is added to skin care products. It is good for the skin and restores skin elasticity and moisturization. The original state of glycolic acid is a powder composed of colorless crystals. It is tasteless. Let's first understand its benefits and its related products.   The Benefits of Glycolic Acid Glycolic acid is very effective for skin treatment because of its high purity. The premise is safe and correct use. Many skin care products contain glycolic acid. Sensitive muscles can also be used. Glycolic acid is non-irritating and it can be used in skin care. Add more glycolic acid to the facial cl
