Product Overview
These highly versatile alcohol sulfates offer high solubilizing power in electrolytes as well as wetting, dispersing, penetrating, spreading, emulsifying, and detergent properties. They perform well in high and low pH environments and are formaldehyde-free and biodegradable.
NIAPROOF® 08 (NAS-08) is an anionic surfactant that is based on sodium 2-Ethylhexyl Sulfate (2-EHS). It is an excellent additive for improved wetting and penetration, especially in strong acidic and alkaline solutions. It is also highly stable in concentrated bleaching solutions. A dosage of 0.25-0.75% is recommended for initial trials of NIAPROOF® 08.
In Pharmaceuticals, NIAPROOF® enhances the bactericidal properties of common antiseptics, particularly those that are acidic. Their surface activity and wetting power are useful in such applications as rapid fixing of histological specimens, increasing the efficiency of tuberculosis antiseptic solutions, and enhancing the activity of penicillin when it is used as a topical remedy. NIAPROOF® Anionic Surfactant 08 is important in penicillin manufacture for breaking undesired emulsions.
