Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate, with the CAS number 3097-08-3, is a widely - used anionic surfactant. It is a white or slightly yellowish powder or paste. This product is a factory - supplied item at a low price, which makes it highly cost - effective for various industries.
The chemical formula of Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate is C₂₄H₅₀MgO₈S₂. It has a molecular weight of approximately 555.13 g/mol. It is soluble in water, generating a clear and stable solution. The pH value of its 1% aqueous solution is usually in the range of 7 - 9, which indicates its mildness compared to some other strong - alkaline surfactants.
1. Personal Care Products: Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate is commonly used in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers. It has excellent foaming properties, which can produce rich and fine foam, effectively removing dirt, excess oil, and dandruff from the hair and skin. Meanwhile, its relatively mild nature reduces the irritation to the skin and hair, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin.
2. Household Cleaning Products: In dishwashing liquids and laundry detergents, this product can enhance the cleaning ability. It can break down grease and stains on dishes and clothing, and its good compatibility with other additives allows it to work well in various cleaning formulations.
3. Industrial Applications: In the textile industry, it can be used as a scouring agent to remove impurities from fabrics. In the leather industry, it helps in the degreasing process of leather, making the leather softer and more flexible.
1. Personal Care: When formulating shampoos or body washes, the recommended dosage of Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate is usually between 5% - 15%. First, dissolve it in water under gentle stirring at room temperature. Then add other additives such as conditioning agents, fragrances, and preservatives in sequence. Make sure the solution is well - mixed before filling into the final packaging.
2. Household Cleaning: For dishwashing liquids, a dosage of 8% - 20% can be used. Mix it with other surfactants, builders, and solvents. Stir thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is obtained. In laundry detergents, it can be incorporated at a level of 10% - 25%, and combined with enzymes, brighteners, and anti - redeposition agents.
3. Industrial Applications: In the textile industry, prepare a solution with a concentration of 1% - 3% and soak the fabrics in it at an appropriate temperature for a certain period. In the leather industry, use a 2% - 5% solution for degreasing operations.
1. Personal Care: A well - known brand of shampoo used Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate in its new formula. Before using this product, the shampoo had relatively poor foaming performance and caused some irritation to users' scalps. After replacing with Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate, the foam volume increased by 30%, and the number of user complaints about scalp irritation decreased by 20% within three months. This shows that Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate can effectively improve the quality of personal care products.
2. Household Cleaning: A small - scale detergent manufacturer incorporated Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate into its dishwashing liquid. The original formula had difficulty in removing stubborn grease on dishes. After adding 15% Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate, the cleaning performance of the dishwashing liquid was significantly improved. It could remove nearly 90% of the grease on dishes, compared to only 60% before the improvement.
3. Industrial Applications: A textile factory used Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate as a scouring agent. Previously, they used a traditional scouring agent that was less effective in removing impurities and caused some damage to the fabric. After switching to Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate, the impurities on the fabric were reduced by 40%, and the fabric's strength retention rate increased by 10%, which improved the overall quality of the textile products.
