Overview
The highly versatile alcohol sulfate surfactant offers 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 acid 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.
Niaproof® 08 superior wetting and penetration make it an excellent choice performance enhancer in a variety of cleaning formulations. It is also used in coatings, laminated flooring, inks, metal finishing, electronic cleaners, and much more.
In Pharmaceuticals, Niaproof® enhances the bactericidal properties of common antiseptics, particularly acidic ones. Their surface activity and wetting power are useful in such applications. It provides rapid fixing of histological specimens, increases the efficiency of tuberculosis antiseptic solutions, and enhances 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.

Problems Solved
Anionic surfactants' poor stability and breakdown in strong acid and alkaline solution
Insufficient penetration and low wetting performance of typical anionic surfactants
CleanGredients or design for the environment (DFE) clearances are required for surfactants in particular formulations
Limited or no stability of surfactants in concentrated bleach solutions
EPA clearance required for use in adjuvants and crop protection formulations
Insufficient HLB value of solubility of wetting surfactants
VOC and emissions from solvents used in the manufacturing of wood products
Applications
Household and industrial cleaners
Crop protection products, including adjuvants and pesticides
Metal processing and surface preparations
Carpet cleaning and wallpaper penetrants
Fruit and vegetable wash
Pickling and cleaning solutions

Niacet - Applications of Anionic Surfactants in Everyday Life
Anionic surfactants are a major class of surfactants characterized by their negatively charged hydrophilic heads. These surface-active agents have a hydrophobic (water-fearing) moiety (such as alkyl, alkenyl, or aryl groups) and a hydrophilic (water-loving) anionic group, which can include functional groups like sulfate, sulfonate, and carboxylate.
