Description

Sodium (1,3,5,7-Tetramethyloctyl)Benzenesulphonate is an anionic surfactant characterized by a branched alkylbenzene sulfonate structure. This compound is valued for its effective surface-active properties, including detergency, wetting, and emulsification, particularly in challenging formulations. It is primarily utilized in industrial cleaning, agrochemicals, and as a specialty additive in various chemical processes where robust performance is required.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care formulations.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a wetting agent, dispersant, and emulsifier in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.
• Textile Processing: Used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations for its superior wetting and penetrating abilities.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals for its surfactant properties.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Functions as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers.
• Personal Care (Rinse-off products): May be used as a secondary surfactant in specialized cleansing systems.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an emulsifier in the production of synthetic latexes.
• Leather Processing: Used in soaking, degreasing, and dyeing stages of leather production.
