Description

Castor Oil, Sulfonated is a chemically modified derivative of castor oil, where sulfonate groups are introduced to enhance its water solubility and surfactant properties. This modification is critical for creating stable emulsions and improving wetting and dispersing capabilities in aqueous systems. It serves as a key anionic surfactant and emulsifying agent for industrial formulators in sectors such as textiles, leather processing, agrochemicals, and metalworking fluids.

Application

• Textile Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and dye leveling assistant in dyeing and finishing operations.
• Leather Tanning & Finishing: Used as a fatliquoring agent to soften leather and improve its texture and water resistance.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an effective emulsifier and dispersant in the production of pesticides, herbicides, and liquid fertilizers.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a lubricity additive and emulsifier in soluble oils and coolants.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Employed as a defoamer component and dispersant in paper coating and sizing applications.
• Specialty Cleaners & Detergents: Provides emulsifying power for industrial and institutional cleaning products.
