Ammonium lauryl sulfate

Description:
Ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS), with the CAS number 2235-54-3, is an organic compound that serves as an anionic surfactant. It is derived from lauryl alcohol and is commonly used in personal care products, such as shampoos, body washes, and toothpaste, due to its excellent foaming and emulsifying properties. ALS is characterized by its ability to reduce surface tension, allowing for better spreading and penetration of formulations. It is typically a white to pale yellow solid or viscous liquid, soluble in water, and exhibits good biodegradability. While it is effective in cleansing and foaming, it can also be irritating to the skin and eyes, necessitating careful formulation in cosmetic products. Additionally, ALS is often used in industrial applications, such as in detergents and cleaning agents. Its amphiphilic nature, with a hydrophilic ammonium group and a hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail, contributes to its surfactant properties, making it a versatile ingredient in various formulations.
