Dizzolve brush cleaner msds
For example, it is found in higher concentrations with industrial products including engine degreasers, floor cleaners, and car exterior cleaners. It is a highly effective surfactant and is used in any task requiring the removal of oily stains and residues. SDS is mainly used in detergents for laundry with many cleaning applications. SDS is available commercially in powder, pellet, and other forms (each differing in rates of dissolution), as well as in aqueous solutions of varying concentrations. For instance, SDS is a component, along with other chain-length amphiphiles, when produced from coconut oil, and is known as sodium coco sulfate (SCS). When produced from these sources, commercial samples of these "SDS" products are actually not pure SDS, rather a mixture of various sodium alkyl sulfates with SDS being the main component. Lauryl alcohol can be used in pure form or may be derived from either coconut or palm kernel oil by hydrolysis (which liberates their fatty acids), followed by hydrogenation. The resulting product is then neutralized through the addition of sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate. SDS is synthesized by treating lauryl alcohol with sulfur trioxide gas, oleum, or chlorosulfuric acid to produce hydrogen lauryl sulfate. The micelle ionization fraction (α) is around 0.3 (or 30%). The critical micelle concentration (CMC) in pure water at 25 ☌ is 8.2 mM, and the aggregation number at this concentration is usually considered to be about 62. As a result of its hydrocarbon tail, and its anionic "head group", it has amphiphilic properties that allow it to form micelles, and so act as a detergent.īottle of 20% sodium dodecyl sulfate in distilled water for use in the laboratory. An alternative description is that it is an alkyl group with a pendant, terminal sulfate group attached. It consists of a 12-carbon tail attached to a sulfate group, that is, it is the sodium salt of a 12-carbon alcohol that has been esterified to sulfuric acid. SDS is in the family of organosulfate compounds, and has the formula, C H 3(CH 2) 11 SO 4 Na.
