Description

Calcium Xylenesulphonate is an organosulfonate salt widely utilized as a hydrotrope and solubilizing agent in industrial formulations. Its primary value lies in its ability to enhance the aqueous solubility of otherwise poorly soluble organic compounds, improving the clarity and stability of concentrated liquid products. This makes it a critical component for manufacturers in the detergent, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking to optimize product performance and process efficiency.

Application

• Detergent & Cleaning Formulations: Acts as a hydrotrope and coupling agent in liquid soaps, dishwashing liquids, and hard surface cleaners to maintain clarity and prevent separation of surfactants and perfumes.
• Agrochemicals: Used as a solubilizer and stabilizer in liquid pesticide and herbicide concentrates, aiding in the formation of stable emulsifiable concentrates (ECs) and suspension concentrates (SCs).
• Personal Care Products: Employed in shampoos, body washes, and other cleansing products to improve the solubility of active ingredients, fragrances, and dyes in aqueous systems.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Enhances the performance of high-strength alkaline and acid cleaning formulations used in food processing, dairy, and transportation industries.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a dispersing and leveling agent in dye baths and other textile chemical processing solutions.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a phase transfer catalyst or a reaction medium modifier in certain organic synthesis applications.
