Description

Dodecylbenzenesulphonic Acid, Compound With 2,2'-Iminodiethanol (1:1) is a high-purity, neutralized salt form of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA), offering enhanced handling characteristics and solubility. This compound is a versatile and highly effective surfactant and emulsifying agent, prized for its stability and performance in demanding formulations. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical industries seeking reliable and consistent quality.

Application

• Primary Surfactant/Emulsifier in liquid dishwashing detergents, hard surface cleaners, and industrial degreasers.
• Foam Booster and Stabilizer in shampoos, body washes, and other personal care cleansing products.
• Wetting and Dispersing Agent in agricultural chemical formulations such as herbicides and pesticides.
• Textile Processing Aid used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations for improved fiber wetting and leveling.
• Intermediate for Sulfonate Esters in the synthesis of specialty chemicals and lubricant additives.
• Emulsion Polymerization for the production of styrene-butadiene and acrylic latexes.
• Acid Catalyst in Organic Synthesis, where a less corrosive, soluble alternative to strong mineral acids is required.
