Description

Sodium Hexadecenesulphonate is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from a C16 olefin chain. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries seeking reliable performance and consistent quality.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary surfactant and foaming agent in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metalworking fluids for its superior wetting and emulsification.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Serves as a wetting agent and detergent in scouring, dyeing, and finishing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes and polymers.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and enhanced oil recovery formulations for its interfacial activity.
