Description

Magnesium Dodecylbenzenesulphonate is an anionic surfactant salt, specifically the magnesium salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent detergency, emulsifying properties, and stability in various formulations, making it a key functional ingredient. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, and lubricant additive sectors who require a high-performance, cost-effective surfactant with good handling characteristics.

Application

• Primary surfactant and detergent in industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning formulations.
• Emulsifying and dispersing agent in agricultural chemical products such as pesticides and herbicides.
• Key component in the production of lubricant and fuel additives.
• Raw material for the synthesis of other specialty surfactant compounds.
• Used in the formulation of textile processing aids and auxiliaries.
• Intermediate in the manufacture of certain construction chemicals.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium Dodecylbenzenesulphonate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, activity, and physical properties. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your production processes.

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); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow characteristics.
