Description

Ammonium Xylenesulfonate is an anionic surfactant and hydrotrope widely valued for its excellent solubility enhancement and coupling properties. This compound is crucial for formulating stable, clear, and high-performance aqueous solutions across demanding industrial and consumer applications. Key industries that rely on this versatile chemical include detergents, personal care, agrochemicals, and textile processing, where it acts as a powerful solubilizer and viscosity modifier.

Application

• Detergent & Cleaner Formulations: Acts as a hydrotrope and coupling agent to improve the solubility and stability of surfactants, builders, and perfumes in liquid concentrates, hard-surface cleaners, and dishwashing liquids.
• Personal Care Products: Used in shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps to enhance clarity, viscosity control, and the incorporation of fragrances and active ingredients.
• Agrochemicals: Serves as a solubilizer and stabilizer in pesticide, herbicide, and fertilizer formulations, ensuring homogeneous and effective end products.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, dye leveling agent, and assistant in scouring and finishing baths to improve process efficiency.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in high-performance floor cleaners, degreasers, and metal treatment solutions for its robust solvency power.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersant and stabilizer to aid in pigment wetting and to prevent agglomeration in water-based systems.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Xylenesulfonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, activity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, sulfonate content, moisture, and clarity is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and compliance with your formulation requirements.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
