Niaproof® Anionic Surfactant 08
Niaproof® Anionic Surfactant 08 is an aqueous solution containing 40 percent by weight of sodium 2-ethylhexyl sulfate. It is a unique wetting assistant because of its solubility, stability, and penetrating action in strong acidic and alkaline solutions containing 10 to 20 percent of dissolved electrolyte. It is chemically stable even at the boiling point of 15 percent caustic solutions.
