Structure
R: coco group.
Properties
Appearance (1), liquid; (2), paste; (3), solid.
Solubility soluble in water. The solubility increases with the increase of EO number.
Stability stable in alkali, weak acid and hard water; unstable in strong acid, easily hydrolyzes.
Risk Liquid form: irritation, irritation to skin, eye.
GHS (Rev.10) label:
Ecology may be hazardous to environment. Water body should be given special attention.
Biodegradability biodegradable.
Characteristics excellent cleansing, foaming, emulsifying, wetting, dispersing, solubilizing, foam stabilizing abilities. Resistant to hard water. Performance is affected by EO number, such as: with the increase of EO number, cleansing capability decreases, solubilization capacity increases.
Note (1), Products that has low content of 1,4-dioxane can be used in children cleaning products.
(2), 1,4-dioxane generated during preparation: probable carcinogen. However, can be acceptable when concentration of 1,4-dioxane is less than 30ppm or less.
Synthesis
Currently, sulfated reaction through continuous reactor (such as: falling film reactor) is the most widely used method for preparing sulfates.
PEG cocamide and sulfur trioxide react through reactor, then sodium hydroxide neutralizes, finally obtain product.
