Sodium Octyl Sulfate CAS 142-31-4

Sodium Octyl Sulfate (CAS 142-31-4) Ultimate Product Guide

1. Product Specifications & Comparative Analysis

2. Industrial Applications & Functional Advantages

Personal Care Formulations: Acts as primary surfactant in sulfate-free shampoos (3-8% concentration), baby care products (1-3% concentration), and sensitive skin formulations with enhanced biocompatibility.

Industrial Detergents: Key component in alkaline cleaning systems (5-12% active content) for metal degreasing, exhibiting superior wetting properties at 40-60°C operating temperatures.

Textile Processing: Used in dye-leveling agents (0.5-2% w/w) with 30% higher dye uptake efficiency compared to traditional surfactants.

3. Implementation Case Studies

Case 1: Cosmetic Manufacturer A achieved 23% viscosity reduction in shampoo base while maintaining 98% foam volume through optimized 4.7% Sodium Octyl Sulfate incorporation.

Case 2: Food Processing Plant B eliminated biofilm formation in CIP systems using 7.5% SOS solution, reducing sanitation cycle time by 40 minutes per batch.

4. Verified Client Success Stories
