Abstract

The sodium and/or ammonium salts of a mixture of n-alkyl oxyethylated sulfuric acids in aqueous solution, wherein all the compounds have the same molecular formula CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.x CH.sub.2 (OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2).sub.y OSO.sub.3.sup.- M.sup.+, M.sup.+ being either the sodium or ammonium cation, x being an integer from about 6 to 12, and y being an integer from about 1 to 3.5, a major portion of the mixture comprising compounds where x equals 6-8 and a minor portion of the mixture comprising compounds where x equals 10-12; these mixtures being capable of generating foam of relatively large volume and high stability.
