Description

Sodium Hexyldiphenyl Ether Sulfonate is a high-performance anionic surfactant derived from diphenyl ether chemistry. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties in demanding formulations. It serves as a critical component for industrial manufacturers, particularly in the agrochemical, textile, and specialty cleaning sectors, where stability and efficacy under challenging conditions are paramount.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent and dispersant in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to enhance spray coverage and active ingredient stability.
• Textile Processing: Used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations as an effective emulsifier and leveling agent for dyes and oils.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Provides powerful degreasing and emulsification in heavy-duty alkaline and acidic cleaner formulations.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and lubricants.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Improves pigment dispersion and stabilizes emulsion polymers in water-based coating systems.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals as a surfactant for viscosity control and demulsification.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Hexyldiphenyl Ether Sulfonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance, including assay, impurity profile, and critical physical property verification. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting compliance with agreed specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
