OVERVIEW

SierraSulf T 80 is a versatile surfactant and process aid derived from tallow, a natural fat-based feedstock. Also referred to as sulfated tallow or tallow sulfate, this chemistry functions as both a lubricant and emulsifier. In use, SierraSulf T 80 serves as a lubricant, bead wire lubricant, and metal forming aid, while also acting as a general process aid across industrial applications. Though semi-solid at room temperature, it can be easily diluted into warm water with mild agitation, providing a stable, workable solution. Its multifunctional performance and natural origin make it a valuable ingredient in specialty formulations.
