Anionic Surfactant

 Anionic surfactant has a longest history, highest output and most various types. It is classified according to the structures of their hydrophilic groups: sulfonates and sulfates, which are the main types of anionic surfactants. The various functions of oil soluble surfactants and nonionic surfactant are mainly manifested in changing the properties of the liquid surface, the liquid-liquid interface and the liquid-solid interface.

Common anionic surfactant:

Sulfate, sulfonate, and phosphate esters

Anionic surfactants contain anionic functional groups at their head, such as sulfate,sulfonate, phosphate, and carboxylates. Prominent alkyl sulfates include ammonium lauryl sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SLS, or SDS), and the related alkyl-ether sulfates sodium laureth sulfate (sodium lauryl ether sulfate or SLES), and sodium myreth sulfate. Carboxylates are the most common surfactants and comprise the carboxylate salts (soaps), such as sodium stearate. More specialized species include sodium lauroyl sarcosinate and carboxylate-based fluorosurfactants such as perfluorononanoate,   perfluorooctanoate (PFOA or PFO).

 

Anionic agents surfactants take many advantages  in mature production process,  great availability of raw materials, and a wide range of applications. Therefore, it is widely used in many fields such as agriculture, industrial cleaning, textile printing and dyeing, and household chemicals.

 

1. Agriculture

The use of anionic and non-ionic formulations as pesticide emulsifiers can reduce the usage of emulsifier from 20% ~40% to 3% ~ 10%. This will help improve the chemical stability of pesticides, while reducing costs, pollution,so ensure the efficiency of utilization. In addition, alkylbenzene sulfonates, lignosulfonates are often added into insecticides, rust removers, and plant growth regulators as emulsifiers and wetting agents to improve soil quality.

 

2. Construction industry

In architectural coatings, surfactants primarily act as wetting, emulsifying, dispersing, stabilizing and antistatic agent.

 

3. Cosmetics industry

The use of anionic surfactants in cosmetics has become more widespread in recent years and its main role is as emulsifiers, solubilizers, wetting agents and effective component synergists.

 

4. Oil field industry

Surfactants play an important role in the chemical oil displacement process. They can reduce the oil/water interfacial tension and increase the number of capillary tubes, thereby greatly improving the oil recovery.

 

5. Textile industry

Many processes in the textile printing industry require the use of a large amount of surfactants. For example, a large number of anionic surfactants with cleaning performance are used in the pretreatment process, anionic surfactants with infiltrating performance are used in the dyeing and finishing processes. In addition, some functional products such as leveling agents, fixing agents, etc., are also of anionic type.

 

6. Daily chemical industry

Anionic surfactants are widely used in daily chemicals. The most common application is soap. The main ingredient is sodium stearate. Anionic products have the characteristics of high foam and delicate performance, low price and so on, which can reduce the cost of the liquid detergent and other products, as well as improve the product transparency.

Difference Between Sodium Laureth Sulfate And Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Sodium laureth ether sulfate  (SLS) and sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) are surfactants that play a role in foaming products. It is widely believed that the foam produced by a product is its performance. The composition of SLS and SLES reduces the surface tension of water. They can also be used as dispersants to properly mix spices and body spray. SLS and SLES can also be used in a variety of personal care products such as soap, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste and other foaming products. SLS and SLES are also added to moisturizing lotions and sunscreens because of these properties. The difference between SLS and SLES is in the manufacturing process. SLS undergo a process called ethoxylation. And then you get SLES. Why do we have this ethoxylation process? Because SLS has some mild irritation on the skin, such as dry. The manufactured SLES are more gentle and do not irritate the skin. Many manufacturers do not use SLS because it is irritating. SLES should be softer o...
