OVERVIEW

Sulfated 2-Ethylhexanol (NH) is an ammonium-neutralized, sulfate-based surfactant derived from 2-ethylhexanol. Also known as ammonium 2-ethylhexyl sulfate or ammonium octyl sulfate, this chemistry provides a balanced profile of wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties. It is widely used in industrial cleaners, textile processing aids, and select oilfield formulations, where strong surface activity and compatibility are required. With good stability across a broad pH range and cost-effective performance, Sulfated 2-Ethylhexanol (NH) is a versatile choice for a variety of industrial and specialty formulations.
