Description

Sodium 4-Sulfophenyl-6-((1-Oxononyl)Amino)Hexanoate is a specialized anionic surfactant and intermediate with a unique molecular structure combining a sulfophenyl group and a fatty amido chain. This compound is valued for its excellent surface-active properties, including wetting, emulsification, and dispersion capabilities in demanding formulations. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, textile processing, and specialty chemical synthesis sectors seeking high-performance ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for mild yet effective cleansing and rich foam stabilization.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, alkaline cleaners, and floor care products for superior wetting and soil emulsification.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Serves as a wetting agent, dispersant, and leveling agent in dyeing and finishing processes for synthetic and natural fibers.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of acrylic, styrene-acrylic, and other polymer lattices.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading, adhesion, and bioavailability on target surfaces.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals as a dispersant and viscosity modifier.
• Leather Processing: Used in beamhouse and tanning operations for improved penetration of chemicals and uniform dyeing.
