Description

Potassium Dodecane-1-Sulphonate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from dodecane sulfonic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties in aqueous systems. It serves as a critical intermediate and functional additive in the production of specialty chemicals, personal care products, and industrial formulations. Our supply ensures consistent quality and reliable availability for global industrial partners.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Formulations: Acts as a key anionic surfactant in industrial and institutional cleaning products, offering superior detergency and foam stability.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used in the formulation of shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mildness and effective cleansing action.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic rubbers, latexes, and acrylic polymers.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a wetting agent and leveling agent in dyeing and finishing processes to ensure uniform color application.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and enhanced oil recovery formulations as a foaming and viscosity control agent.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and sticking properties of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A core component in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and metal treatment solutions.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Used as a building block for the synthesis of more complex sulfonate-based specialty chemicals.
