Multi-functional anionic surfactant - Sodium dodecyl sulfate (K12)

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (K12) is a widely used anionic surfactant. K12 is highly soluble in water and has good compatibility with anionic and non-ionic substances. K12 plays a significant role in many industries due to its excellent emulsifying, foaming, penetrating, and cleaning properties.

1. Cosmetics and skin care products

K12 is mainly used as a foaming agent, cleanser, and moisturizer in cosmetics and skin care products. K12 can enhance the permeability of skin care and cosmetic products, allowing them to better interact with the skin. Moreover, K12 is relatively safe compared to other additives and does not pose a risk of causing acne.

2. Detergents and textile auxiliaries

Adding K12 to detergents can effectively remove stains. In the textile industry, K12 is commonly used as a bleaching auxiliary and a dye for carpets.

3. Toothpaste and dishwashing liquid foam booster

K12 has excellent foaming properties and is often added to toothpaste and dishwashing liquids to enhance their cleaning power.

4. Latex emulsions and synthetic resins

K12 is an emulsifier for styrene-butadiene and acrylic acid latex emulsions. K12 is also an emulsifier for synthetic resins.

5. Leather and metal processing

K12 can be used as a leather softener and a flotation agent for metal ore dressing.

6. Food and pharmaceutical-grade applications

According to GB 2760-96, food-grade K12 can be used in the food industry for cakes, beverages, proteins, fresh fruits, fruit juice beverages, and edible oils; pharmaceutical-grade K12 can be used as a pharmaceutical excipient, such as a solubilizer, emulsifier, skin penetration enhancer, and lubricant.
