Overview of PDS Potassium Dodecyl Sulfate
Potassium dodecyl sulfate is white to slightly yellow powder with a slight special smell, it is soluble in water. The aqueous solution is colorless and transparent to translucent.PDS Potassium dodecyl sulfate is generally a colorless or light yellow powder or crystalline solid. It is soluble in water and alcoholic solvents, but is difficult to dissolve in non-polar solvents. It is relatively stable at room temperature, but is susceptible to moisture and break down.

Product Performance of PDS Potassium Dodecyl Sulfate
The transparency of Potassium dodecyl sulfate aqueous solution is greatly affected by concentration and temperature. Generally, as the concentration of the solution increases, the opacity will increase; as the temperature decreases, the opacity will also increase. Potassium dodecyl sulfate is easy to absorb moisture and agglomerate, but the agglomeration strength is not high.
