ROSULfan®O (sodium octyl sulfate)

ROSULfan O is an anionic surfactant from the alkyl sulfate group.

The product is the sodium salt of n-octyl sulfate and is available as a 39–42% low-viscosity aqueous solution ranging from colourless to pale yellow. This product exhibits moderate foaming, forming moderately and slightly stable foams even in hard water. The foams obtained from ROSULfan O are characterised by a high degree of hydration (so-called wet foam) and a heterogeneous bubble structure. ROSULfan O also has a low tendency to gel in electrolyte solutions, which eliminates the problems associated with a local increase in viscosity, e.g. in dosing systems.
