SODIUM LAURYL SULPHATE 85% Extra Pure (powder) (SLS) - 500 gm

Description

Sodium lauryl sulphate by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), this is an anionic detergent and surfactant. The reagent is available as a white powder which is soluble in water. It has a melting point of 206 C. Sodium lauryl sulphate can be generated by treating lauryl alcohol with sulfur trioxide gas, oleum, or chlorosulphuric acid to produce hydrogen lauryl sulphate. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 151-21-3 Quantity Provided: 500 gm per bottle Molecular formula: C12H25O4SNa Molecular weight: 288.38 Assay: Minimum 98 Sodium lauryl sulphate has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors.
