Description

Sodium 4-Tetradecylbenzenesulphonate is a high-purity anionic surfactant belonging to the alkylbenzene sulfonate family. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties in demanding industrial formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the detergent, agrochemical, and textile processing industries who require consistent performance and reliable supply chain partners.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metal cleaning formulations.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Used as a wetting and dispersing agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance spray coverage and efficacy.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a scouring agent, emulsifier, and wetting agent in fabric preparation and dyeing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an anionic emulsifier in the production of synthetic rubbers, latex paints, and polymer dispersions.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling mud formulations and as a component in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) surfactants.
• Personal Care (Rinse-off products): Used in specialized industrial-grade soaps and cleaning bars.
