Product Name

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS), CAS Number: 2235 - 54 - 3

Product Overview

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate is an anionic surfactant that is widely used in personal care and cleaning products. It can effectively reduce the surface tension of liquids and provides excellent cleaning, emulsifying, and foaming properties.

Chemical Properties

Physical Properties

The appearance is usually white to light - yellow paste or liquid with a characteristic odor. The paste products have a fine texture and relatively poor fluidity; the liquid products have better fluidity.

The density is generally around 1.02 - 1.05 g/cm³ and it is easily soluble in water, forming a transparent or translucent solution. Its aqueous solution can significantly reduce the surface tension of water, enabling water to wet solid surfaces better.

Chemical Reactivity

The sulfate anion  in the molecule is the key part of its surface activity and is hydrophilic, while the long - chain alkyl group is lipophilic. This structure enables it to be directionally arranged at the oil - water interface, playing an emulsifying role to disperse oil droplets in water and form an emulsion.

It is stable within a certain range of acid - base conditions, but may decompose in a strongly alkaline or strongly oxidizing environment.

Product Information Table

Application Fields

Personal Care Products

It is an important component in products such as shampoos and body washes. It can produce rich and stable foam with high fineness, effectively cleaning the oils, dirt, and dust on the surface of the hair and skin. At the same time, it is relatively less irritating to the skin and hair and can make the hair soft and smooth and the skin fresh and comfortable under an appropriate formula.

It is also used in some shaving cream products, capable of softening the beard, improving the smoothness of shaving, and making the skin feel moisturized and not tight after shaving.

Cleaning Products

As a main component of detergents, it is used in products such as laundry detergents and dishwashing detergents. During the washing process, it can reduce the surface tension of water, making it easier for stains to detach from the surfaces of clothes, tableware, etc., thereby enhancing the cleaning effect. It is particularly effective for removing oil - based stains such as kitchen grease and oil stains on clothes.

Storage and Safety

Storage Conditions

It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well - ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight. High temperatures may cause the product to deteriorate, such as darkening in color and reduction in activity. The storage container should be well - sealed to prevent the product from deliquescing due to absorption of moisture from the air or being contaminated by microorganisms.

Avoid storing it together with strong oxidizers, strong acids, and strong alkalis to prevent chemical reactions.

Safety Precautions

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate is somewhat irritating to the eyes and skin. During the operation, protective glasses, gloves, and appropriate protective clothing should be worn. If it accidentally comes into contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with a large amount of water and seek medical attention as soon as possible. After contact with the skin, it should also be rinsed clean with water in a timely manner.
